Title: Water-leak state estimation system, method, and recording medium
Inventor: YUKITAKA KUSUMURA
IPC: G01M3/28
Filed: 2016-03-10
Abstract: The present invention is a water-leak state estimation system for estimating the state of a water leak in a specified area of a water supply system. A learning unit receives past environment state data and labeled data to which a label was attached in order to separate past flow rate data into abnormal values and normal values, and the learning unit constructs, by learning, a prediction model for predicting the normal values in the labeled data, and determines, by learning, a score parameter that stipulates for how long confirmation must be carried out. A water leak estimation unit finds erroneous values by comparing current flow rate data and predicted flow rate data obtained by inputting current environment state data into a prediction model, and during a period which is the width of a window stipulated using the score parameter, the water leak estimation unit calculates the average value of the erroneous values and thereby estimates a water leak score indicating the state of a water leak in a specific area.
