Multistage identification method for real-time abnormal events of streaming data by Hao Luo, Kexin Sun, Junlu Wang, Chengfeng Liu, Linlin Ding, Baoyan Song

“…Finally, this article proposes a multistage identification mechanism based on the sliding window matching strategy and the characteristics of the waveforms of coal mine disasters, adjusting the early warning level according to the identification extent of the disaster signal, which increases the early warning level gradually with the successful result of the matching of 1/ N size of the template, and the piecewise aggregate approximation method is used to optimize the calculation process. Experimental results show that the method proposed in this article is more accurate and be used in real time.…”
