Abstract

Telemetry is an automatic system for monitoring environments in a remote or inaccessible area and transmitting data via various media. Data from telemetry stations can be used to produce early warning or decision supports in risky situations. However, sometimes a device in a telemetry system may not work properly and generates some errors in the data, which lead to false alarms or miss true alarms for disasters. We then developed two types of ensembles: (1) simple and (2) complex ensembles for automatically detecting the anomaly data. The ensembles were tested on the data collected from 9 telemetry water level stations and the results clearly show that the complex ensembles are the most accurate and also reliable in detecting anomalies.
