Automated Anomaly Detection in Blast Furnace Shaft Static Pressure Using Adversarial Autoencoders and Mode...

Monitoring the blast furnace shaft static pressure is crucial for maintaining a stable ironmaking process. Traditional rule-based methods and manual inspections suffer from high labor costs and inconsistent standards. This article proposes a new unsupervised anomaly detection framework that combines adversarial autoencoder with variational mode decomposition (VMD). Firstly, using VMD combined with sample entropy calculation and clustering algorithm, the trend, period, and other components of multidimensional signals are extracted, and then these components are integrated into an improved adversarial training autoencoder to detect global and local anomalies. The proposed method has an accuracy of 0.95, a recall rate of 0.91, and an F1 score of 0.93. Which demonstrates the method effectively captures multi-scale anomalies including value bias, morphological changes, and sudden fluctuations, while providing analysts with interpretable anomaly detail diagnosis.
