Monitoring system using kernel regression modeling with pattern sequences
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for determining the condition of an object, comprising:
- an empirical model operated by at least one processor and having reference data that indicates the normal operational state of the object, and input pattern arrays, each input pattern array having a plurality of time-ordered input vectors, each input vector having input values representing a plurality of parameters indicating the current condition of the object, the reference data being grouped in equal-sized and multi-dimensional training arrays, each of the training arrays being equal in size to a corresponding input multi-dimensional pattern array and each training array including a plurality of time-ordered reference vectors sequenced in time,the empirical model being configured to generate estimate values based on a calculation that uses an input pattern array and the reference data to determine a similarity measure between the input values and the reference data; and
a differencing module comparing the estimate values to the corresponding input values so that resulting values from the comparison can be used to determine the condition of the object.

Abstract
A monitoring system for determining the condition of an object includes an empirical model with reference data that indicates the normal operational state of the object, and input pattern arrays. Each input pattern array has a plurality of time-ordered input vectors, while each input vector has input values representing a plurality of parameters indicating the current condition of the object. The empirical model generates estimate values based on a calculation that uses an input pattern array and the reference data to determine a similarity measure between the input values and reference data. A differencing module compares the estimates values to the corresponding input values so that resulting values from the comparison can be used to determine the condition of the object.
