An evaluation of methods for detecting false data injection attacks in the smart grid by Sarita Paudel

“…We therefore propose to complement detection by additional methods. For this we analyze the detection performance of four very different detection methods: (a) the classical adaptive bad data detection approach based on the residuals of linear Kalman Filters, (b) a simple threshold based on the Median Average Deviation (MAD), (c) a distribution-based approach using the Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD), and (d) the cumulative sum (CUSUM) as a representative of a change point detection method. …”

LiDAR-based edge extraction method for underground belt conveyors by HUANG Chenxuan, CHANG Jian, WANG Lei

“…Laboratory tests showed that, even when the surface of the belt conveyor had a 100% water distribution and saturated thickness, the edge extraction accuracy was no less than 88%. Overall, this method outperforms the latitude and longitude extremum search method, the curvature threshold method based on KDTree/OcTree, and the adjacent point angle threshold method based on KDTree/OcTree, with an average computation time of only 36 ms, meeting the real-time inspection needs of underground environments.…”
