DETECTING MOTION-SENSOR DATA ANOMALIES

Detecting motion-sensor data anomalies by registering an event associated with received motion-detector sensor data at a current timestamp, calculating, a timestamp delta between a previous timestamp and the current timestamp, and counting transitions between a set of timestamp deltas using a finite state machine. The anomaly detection also includes using a Markov chain transition matrix, generated from the finite state machine, to determine that, a probability of transitioning from a current state to a next state associated with the event, is less than a predetermined value, and registering an anomaly associated with the sensor and the event.
