Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used and meet many demands in military and civilian fields. With the continuous enrichment and extensive expansion of application scenarios, the safety of UAVs is constantly being challenged. To address this challenge, we propose algorithms to detect anomalous data collected from drones to improve drone safety. We deployed a one-class kernel extreme learning machine (OCKELM) to detect anomalies in drone data. By default, OCKELM uses the radial basis (RBF) kernel function as the kernel function of the model. To improve the performance of OCKELM, we choose a Triangular Global Alignment Kernel (TGAK) instead of an RBF Kernel and introduce the Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) algorithm to reconstruct UAV data. Based on the above improvements, we create a novel anomaly detection strategy FastICA-TGAK-OCELM. The method is finally validated on the UCI dataset and detected on the Aeronautical Laboratory Failures and Anomalies (ALFA) dataset. The experimental results show that compared with other methods, the accuracy of this method is improved by more than 30%, and point anomalies are effectively detected.
