Missing Telemetry Data Prediction Algorithm via Tensor Factorization

Abstract

Satellite health monitoring is an important concern for satellite security, for which satellite telemetry data is the only source of data. Therefore, accurate prediction of missing data of satellite telemetry is an important forward-looking approach for satellite health diagnosis. For the high-dimensional structure formed by the satellite multi-component system, multi-instrument and multi-monitoring index, the Tensor Factorization based Prediction (TFP) algorithm for missing telemetry data is proposed. The proposed algorithm surpasses most existing methods, which can only be applied to low-dimensional data or specific dimension. The proposed algorithm makes accurate predictions by modeling the telemetry data as a Tensor to integrally utilize its high-dimensional feature; Computing the component matrixes via Tensor Factorization to reconstruct the Tensor which gives the predictions of the missing data; An efficient optimization algorithm is proposed to implement the related tensor calculations, for which the optimal parameter settings are strictly theoretically deduced. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm has better prediction accuracy than the most existing algorithms.
