Abstract-Data sets collected from wireless sensor networks (WSN)are usually considered unreliable and subject to errors due to limited sensor capabilities and hard environmental resulting in a subset of the sensors data called outlier data .This paper proposes a technique to detect outlier data base on spatialtemporal similarity among data collected by geographically distributed sensors . The proposed technique is able to identify an abnormal subset of data collected by sensor node as outlier data. Moreover the proposed technique is able to classify this abnormal observation, an error data set or event affected set. Simulation result shows that high detection rate is achieved compared to conventional outlier detection techniques while preserving low positive false alarm rate.Keywords-wireless sensor network, outlier's detection, fuzzy logic, spatial and temporal similarity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
