EHOPN: A novel enhanced high-order pooling-based network for industrial fault detection

Recently, deep learning algorithms have been successfully applied to industrial fault detection because they are better at automatically extracting complex features and processing high-dimensional data than traditional methods. However, most existing deep learning-based fault detection methods only concentrate on extracting features from industrial process data without considering the crucial long-term temporal features and higher-order statistical information. To address this challenge, we proposed a novel enhanced higher-order pooling-based network (EHOPN) for industrial fault detection. First, the data pre-processing of the network is presented to capture the dynamic features of time-series process data and unify the high-dimensional data scale. Second, the EHOPN utilizes channel and temporal second-order pooling techniques to gather temporal and channel statistics information, facilitating the backbone network’s ability to capture complex inter-dependencies and long-term dynamics. Additionally, the high-order feature aggregation module is presented to aggregate global and local features, enhancing the network’s generalization ability. The proposed industrial fault detection approach is evaluated on the Tennessee Eastman benchmark and a real-world heavy-plate production process. Experimental results show that the proposed method is significantly better than comparison models in four evaluation metrics: accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, further proving the effectiveness of EHOPN.
