Abstract

We consider the problem of classifying anomalous occupancy sensor behavior in connected indoor lighting systems. Anomalous occupancy sensor behavior may occur in the form of either a high number of false alarms (type-1 anomalies) or missed detection (type-2 anomalies). We consider a supervised machine learning approach to determine whether the detection signal of an occupancy sensor is normal, or exhibits type-1 or type-2 anomalies. We devise occupancy signal features in the time and frequency domains and employ a random forest classifier to perform 3-class classification. The proposed method is evaluated using motion sensor data from an office building, and is shown to have higher true positive rate and a lower false positive rate in comparison to an unsupervised k-means method and a random forest classifier with a single signal energy feature.
