Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of weak signal processing technology, and more specifically to a method and apparatus for detecting anomalies in weak signals of on-orbit spacecraft. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, spacecraft in orbit generate a large number of real-time monitoring signals from their attitude control, energy management, and communication payload systems. However, due to the complex space environment, long signal transmission distances, and strong noise interference, some key monitoring signals exhibit typical weak signal characteristics such as low energy, low signal-to-noise ratio, and blurred features. These signals often conceal early signs of equipment failure or performance degradation. If they cannot be identified in a timely and accurate manner, it may lead to deviations in system status assessment or even trigger on-orbit risks.
[0003] Existing methods for identifying weak signals mostly rely on traditional filtering, threshold judgment, or single-model identification based on deep learning. These methods generally suffer from the following problems: First, the model is sensitive to noise and has difficulty extracting effective features from complex backgrounds; Second, the ground test environment differs significantly from the on-orbit environment, resulting in weak model transferability. Third, while deep learning methods have strong representational capabilities, they lack interpretability and small-sample adaptability, making it difficult to cope with the reality of scarce on-orbit data.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a detection method that can combine large-scale ground-based experimental data with a small amount of on-orbit data for adaptive learning, while taking into account detection accuracy, generalization ability and interpretability, so as to improve the identification and analysis capabilities of weak signals of on-orbit spacecraft, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An anomaly detection method for weak signals from an on-orbit spacecraft includes the following steps: S1.

Based on the interpretable operator network structure, a Meta-KAN network model for weak signal anomaly detection is constructed, and meta-learning training is performed using the support set and query set to obtain a pre-trained Meta-KAN network model. S3.

The support set is used to train the Meta-KAN network model to extract general features of weak signals from spacecraft, and the query set is used to improve the Meta-KAN network model to process weak signals from different types of spacecraft. S23. Calculate the gradient through the meta-task total loss function and perform backpropagation to update it. Use a task-batch-based meta-optimization algorithm to iteratively train the Meta-KAN network parameters. The meta-task total loss function includes the task fitting loss of the support set and the generalization evaluation loss of the query set.

The signal feature encoding network is used to extract and encode the time-domain and frequency-domain signal features of the spacecraft under different operating conditions, and the state discrimination network is used to aggregate and classify the encoded features to realize the anomaly detection of weak signals. Preferably, both the signal feature coding network and the state discrimination network adopt a hierarchical adaptive structure, specifically including: an input normalization layer, a kernel function adaptation layer, a feature mapping layer, and a nonlinear combination layer; The input normalization layer is used to input the support set and the query set, the kernel function adaptation layer is used to automatically adjust the local response range according to the input task, the feature mapping layer is used to express the correlation of signal features at different scales, and the nonlinear combination layer is used to generate high-dimensional distinguishable feature representations.
[0010] The preferred method is to calculate the gradient using the total loss function of the meta-task and then perform backpropagation updates as follows:

[0012] in, , These are the loss weight coefficients for the support set and the query set, respectively. To support the collection of task losses, To inquire about the losses incurred during the task.
[0013] Preferably, step S3 includes the following: S31. Collect on-orbit telemetry data from spacecraft in orbit, and perform noise reduction, outlier removal, and time synchronization processing; S32. Align the processed on-orbit telemetry data with the ground test data in terms of feature distribution, and use the pre-trained Meta-KAN network model parameters as the initial weights to achieve transfer fine-tuning; S33. With the goal of minimizing the joint loss of classification task loss and feature distribution alignment loss, a low-learning-rate iterative training method is adopted to train the pre-trained Meta-KAN network model using a small sample meta-task approach, gradually improving the anomaly detection performance of the Meta-KAN network for weak signals in spacecraft on orbit. After completing the predetermined number of iterations and passing the verification, the trained Meta-KAN network model is solidified.

[0022] To further implement the above technical solutions, both ground test data and telemetry data include the spacecraft's current, voltage, and temperature signals.
[0023] In this embodiment, the preprocessing in step S1 includes standardizing the support set and the query set respectively:
[0024] in, The input is the raw, large-scale ground test data. , These are the mean and standard deviation of the original data, respectively. The data has been standardized. The length of the raw data vector for a single signal can be 1024 points, and a single sample can be in matrix format (number of tasks, number of channels, number of sampling points), for example (20, 4, 1024).
[0025] To further implement the above technical solutions, such as Figure 2 The specific content of step S2 includes: S21.

Use a task-batch-based meta-optimization algorithm to iteratively train the Meta-KAN network parameters. The meta-task total loss function includes the task fitting loss of the support set and the generalization evaluation loss of the query set.
[0026] To further implement the above technical solution, the Meta-KAN network model includes a cascaded signal feature encoding network and a state discrimination network. The signal feature encoding network is used to extract and encode the time-domain and frequency-domain signal features of the spacecraft under different operating conditions, and the state discrimination network is used to aggregate and classify the encoded features to realize the anomaly detection of weak signals. In this embodiment, the final layer of the state discrimination network is a binary classifier composed of a nonlinear combination structure, which outputs... ∈{0,1} represents the current state of the signal, where, =0 indicates the normal state. =1 indicates an abnormal state.
[0027] To further implement the above technical solution, both the signal feature coding network and the state discrimination network adopt a hierarchical adaptive structure, which specifically includes: an input normalization layer, a kernel function adaptation layer, a feature mapping layer, and a nonlinear combination layer. The input normalization layer is used to input the support set and the query set, the kernel function adaptation layer is used to automatically adjust the local response range according to the input task, the feature mapping layer is used to express the correlation of signal features at different scales, and the nonlinear combination layer is used to generate high-dimensional distinguishable feature representations to improve the detection accuracy of weak signals in noisy environments.
[0028] In this embodiment, for any input sample The kernel function adaptation layer adapts to the task parameters. Generate a local response kernel; the kernel function adaptation layer is represented as follows:

[0030] in, Represents the kernel function response vector. This represents a cross-scale correlation mapping matrix used to fuse the time-frequency feature patterns of weak signals; The nonlinear combination layer utilizes additivity neural operator structures to nonlinearly reconstruct the mapped features, forming a more discriminative high-dimensional representation:

Align the processed on-orbit telemetry data with the ground test data in terms of feature distribution, and use the pre-trained Meta-KAN network model parameters as the initial weights to achieve transfer fine-tuning; S33. With the goal of minimizing the joint loss of classification task loss and feature distribution alignment loss, a low-learning-rate iterative training method is adopted to train the pre-trained Meta-KAN network model using a small sample meta-task approach, gradually improving the anomaly detection performance of the Meta-KAN network for weak signals in spacecraft on orbit. After completing the predetermined number of iterations and passing the verification, the trained Meta-KAN network model is solidified.
[0036] In this embodiment, the specific details of the iterative training method for the few-sample meta-task are as follows: Several small-sample meta-tasks are constructed using the processed on-orbit telemetry data. Each meta-task contains a small number of support set samples and corresponding query set samples. For each meta-task, the pre-trained Meta-KAN network model is iteratively updated using a low learning rate. Specifically, the model parameters are first fine-tuned on the support set to capture weak signal features under the current task. Then, the model performance is evaluated on the query set and the joint loss of classification task loss and feature distribution alignment loss is calculated. The model weights are updated through backpropagation. Through iterative training on all meta-tasks, the model gradually accumulates the ability to identify weak signals under different working conditions. The loss function for feature distribution alignment is expressed as:
[0037] in, The distribution of encoding features for ground test data. The distribution of encoding features for on-orbit telemetry data, For remapping to the kernel mapping of RKHS, This indicates the coding characteristics of on-orbit telemetry data. Indicates the coding characteristics of ground test data; The migration fine-tuning employs the minimization of the joint loss with an alignment term, expressed as:
[0038] in, This represents the parameters of the Meta-KAN network model. For binary cross-entropy, To obtain the fine-tuned parameters, the pre-trained parameters of the Meta-KAN network model are used as the starting point for the alignment term weight hyperparameters. Several rounds of iterative optimization are performed with a small learning rate. After completing the predetermined number of iterations and passing the validation set evaluation, the trained Meta-KAN network model parameters are solidified for subsequent on-orbit anomaly detection.
[0039] In another embodiment, a set of weak aerospace signal data to be detected is input into the trained Meta-KAN network model. When the signal is in a normal state, the Meta-KAN network outputs signal state 0; when the signal is in an abnormal state, the Meta-KAN network outputs signal state 1, such as... Figure 3 As shown.
