Abstract
A method, computer readable medium and system for detecting a sensor fault includes identifying one or more of a plurality of tools to use with at least one of a plurality of data acquisition systems based on data obtained from and at least one characteristic of the at least one of the data acquisition systems. The identified one or more tools are utilized on the obtained data to determine at least one confidence rating. An operational status for the at least one of the data acquisition systems is determined and provided based on at least the one determined confidence rating.
Claims24
A method for detecting a sensor fault, the method comprising:
- identifying with an assessment processing device one or more of a plurality of tools to use with at least one of a plurality of data acquisition systems based on data obtained from, at least one characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of data acquisition systems, wherein the plurality of tools comprise at least a cross-correlation tool;
- wherein utilizing the cross-correlation tool comprises:
- identifying with the assessment processing device baseline data;
- determining with the assessment processing device which portion of data related to the obtained data is used for the baseline data;
- utilizing with the assessment processing device the identified one or more tools on the obtained data to determine at least one confidence rating, wherein the at least one confidence rating is determined based on the data obtained from the relationship between and the at least one characteristic of the plurality of data acquisition systems;
- and
- determining and providing with the assessment processing device an operational status for the at least one of the plurality data acquisition systems based on at least the one determined confidence rating.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for detecting a sensor fault comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:
- identifying one or more of a plurality of tools to use with at least one of a plurality of data acquisition systems based on data obtained from and at least one characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of data acquisition systems, wherein the plurality of tools comprise at least a cross-correlation tool;
- wherein utilizing the cross-correlation tool comprises:
- identifying baseline data;
- determining which portion of data related to the obtained data is used for the baseline data;
- utilizing the identified one or more tools on the obtained data to determine at least one confidence rating, wherein the at least one confidence rating is determined based on the data obtained from the relationship between and the at least one characteristic of the plurality of data acquisition systems;
- and
- determining and providing an operational status for the at least one of the plurality data acquisition systems based on at least the one determined confidence rating.
A sensor fault detection apparatus comprising:
- an identification system in an assessment processing device that identifies one or more of a plurality of tools to use with at least one of a plurality of data acquisition systems based on data obtained from and at least one characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of data acquisition systems, wherein the plurality of tools comprise at least a cross-correlation tool;
- wherein utilizing the cross-correlation tool comprises:
- a data search system in the assessment processing device that identifies baseline data;
- a boundary system in the assessment processing device that determines which portion of data related to the obtained data is used for the baseline data;
- a confidence system in the assessment processing device that utilizes the identified one or more tools on the obtained data to determine at least one confidence rating, wherein the at least one confidence rating is determined based on the data obtained from the relationship between and the at least one characteristic of the plurality of data acquisition systems;
- and
- an operational status system in the assessment processing device that determines and provides an operational status for the at least one of the data acquisition systems based on at least the one determined confidence rating.
