A Pipeline Leak Detection And Localization Approach Based On Ensemble Tl1dcnn

There is an increasing need for timely pipeline leak detection and localization methods, pipeline leak could lead to not only the loss of the goods but also considerable environmental and economic problems. With the rapid development of hardware and software, the pipeline leak detection and localization algorithms have been widely researched and applied in many Fields. However, traditional methods are usually limited by extracting features manually, which is inefficient and time-consuming. Convolutional neuron network is an effective method to extract features automatically. In this paper, a novel ensemble transfer learning one-dimension convolutional neural network (TL1DCNN) for the pipeline leak detection and localization is proposed. The TL1DCNN plays the role of base learner. The results of a set of obtained base learners are integrated to achieve the task of pipeline leak detection and localization. Firstly, one-dimension convolutional neural network (1DCNN) models with different parameters are pretrained with source domain data. A small learning rate is set to retrain the above 1DCNN models for target task with target domain data in order to obtain TL1DCNN base learners. Then, the four ensemble strategies with different number base learners whose ensemble weights are optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm are obtained by minimizing the sum of similarity. The dataset simulated by pipeline network model is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The indicators such as classification accuracy, precision, recall, F_score and confusion matrix are used to compare the proposed approach with traditional methods and other deep learning methods. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed approach is superior to other compared methods.
