Abstract

This paper presents a novel method for visual anomaly detection in production plants. Since the complexity of the plants and the number of signals that have to be monitored by the operator grows, there is a need of tools to overcome the information overflow. The human is highly able to recognize irregularities in figures. More than 80% of the perceived information is captured visually. The approach proposed in this paper exploits this fact and subjects data to make the operator able to find anomalies in the displayed figures. In three steps the operator is lead from the visualization of the normal behavior over the anomaly detection and the localization of the faulty module to the anomalous signal.
