Methods A neural predictor was designed based on a radial basis function network(RBFN), and the neural predictor learned the sensor signal on line with a hybrid algorithm composed of n means clustering and Kalman filter and then gave the estimation of the sensor signal at the next step. If the difference between the estimation and the actural values of the sensor signal exceeded a threshold, the sensor could be declared to have a failure. The choice of the failure detection threshold depends on the noise variance and the possible prediction error of neural predictor. Results and Conclusion\ The computer simulation results show the proposed method can detect sensor failure correctly for a gyro in an automotive engine.展开更多

This paper focuses on finding the signal processing algorithms for collaborative target detection based on the generalized approach to signal processing （GASP） in the presence of noise. The signal processing algorithms are efficient in terms of communication cost, precision, accuracy, and number of faulty sensors tolerable in the wireless sensor systems. Two types of generalized signal processing algorithms, namely, value fusion and decision fusion constructed according to GASP in the presence of noise, are identified first. When comparing their performance and communication overhead, the decision fusion algorithm is found to become superior to the value fusion algorithm as the ratio of faulty sensors to fault free sensors increases. The use of GASP under designing the value and decision fusion algorithms in wireless sensor systems allows us to obtain the same performance, but at low values of signal energy, as well as under employment of the universally adopted signal processing algorithms widely used in practice.展开更多
