Embodiments determine anomalies in sensor data generated by a sensor by receiving an evaluation time window of clean sensor data generated by the sensor. Embodiments receive a threshold value for determining anomalies. When the clean sensor data has a cyclic pattern, embodiments divide the evaluation time window into a plurality of segments of equal length, wherein each equal length comprises the cyclic pattern. When the clean sensor data does not have the cyclic pattern, embodiments divide the evaluation time window into a pre-defined number of plurality of segments of equal length. Embodiments convert the evaluation time window and each of the plurality of segments into corresponding curves using Kernel Density Estimation (“KDE”). For each of the plurality of segments, embodiments determine a Kullback-Leibler (“KL”) divergence value between corresponding curves of the segment and the evaluation time window to generate a plurality of KL divergence values.

When the measurement values measured by a first sensor among a plurality of sensors installed in a dispersed manner at a specific location, in first cycles are determined to be abnormal values, a control device activates the first sensor in second cycles that are shorter than the first cycles. Moreover, when the abnormal values are included in the trend of temporal variation, the control device activates a plurality of second sensors, which is installed around the first sensor, in the second cycles. Moreover, when the measurement values measured by the first sensor and the plurality of second sensors in the second cycles are included in the trend of surface-direction distribution, the control device outputs the measurement values measured by the first sensor and the plurality of second sensors.
