Multiscale Control Chart Pattern Recognition Using Histogram-Based Representation of Value and Zero-Crossing Rate

Abstract

In the research of control chart pattern recognition (CCPR), most previous methods used a classifier to label abnormal CCPs. However, long-term control chart data often contains a large number of small abnormal patterns, with characteristics unlike those seen from a global view of the entire chart. There is also a high probability that local abnormal patterns are worthy of analysis. This article presents a novel multiscale control chart pattern recognition scheme, MS-CCPR, which does not focus on the classification of data from a single chart. Rather, the proposed scheme uses a proposed histogram-based data representation in conjunction with time series subsequence matching to identify abnormal patterns on various scales from a long series of control charts. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed framework in the efficient detection of chart patterns at various scales, outperforming the state-of-the-art time series subsequence matching algorithms.
