Enhancing Data Quality Management in Structural Health Monitoring through Irregular Time-Series Data Anomaly Detection Using IoT Sensors

The importance of monitoring in assessing structural safety and durability continues to grow. With recent technological advancements, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors have garnered attention for their complex scalability and varied detection capabilities, becoming essential devices for monitoring. However, during the data collection process of IoT sensors, anomalies arise due to network instability, sensor noise, and malfunctions, degrading data quality and compromising monitoring system reliability. In this study, Interquartile Range (IQR), Long Short-Term Memory Autoencoder (LSTM-AE), and time-series decomposition were employed for anomaly detection in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) processes. IQR and LSTM-AE produce irregular patterns; however, time-series decomposition effectively detects such anomalies. In road monitoring influenced by weather and traffic, the time-series decomposition approach is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing monitoring accuracy.
