HTM-CDFK: An Online Industrial Control Anomaly Detection Algorithm Based on Hierarchical Time Memory

With the rapid advancement of industrial structures, many factories are deploying anomaly detection systems. However, most existing anomaly detection algorithms are unsuitable for high-noise industrial control system (ICS) environments and constantly changing sensor patterns, resulting in low detection accuracy. To address these challenges, we propose a hierarchical temporal memory-based online anomaly detection algorithm for ICS, incorporating cumulative distribution functions and Gaussian convolution kernels. We enhanced the encoding process of hierarchical temporal memory, enabling it to quickly fit the physical processes of ICS and remember the system’s previous operating states for anomaly recognition. Additionally, our anomaly calculation algorithm, based on cumulative distribution functions and Gaussian kernel convolution, effectively addresses the adaptability and accuracy challenges posed by high-noise ICS environments. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms the best baseline algorithms. While maintaining good time stability, our method achieves a 9<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\%$</tex-math></inline-formula> improvement in detection accuracy, highlighting its significant advantage in balancing detection precision and time performance.
