Abstract

The exposure of bridge health-monitoring systems to extreme conditions often results in missing data, which constrains the health monitoring system from working. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient data cleaning method. With the development of big data and machine-learning techniques, several methods for missing-data recovery have emerged. However, optimization-based methods may experience overfitting and demand extensive tuning of parameters, and trained models may still have substantial errors when applied to unseen datasets. Furthermore, many methods can only process monitoring data from a single sensor at a time, so the spatiotemporal dependence among monitoring data from different sensors cannot be extracted to recover missing data. Monitoring data from multiple sensors can be organized in the form of matrix. Therefore, matrix factorization is an appropriate way to handle monitoring data. To this end, a hierarchical probabilistic model for matrix factorization is formulated under a fully Bayesian framework by incorporating a sparsity-inducing prior over spatiotemporal factors. The spatiotemporal dependence is modeled to reconstruct the monitoring data matrix to achieve the missing-data recovery. Through experiments using continuous monitoring data of an in-service bridge, the proposed method shows good performance of missing-data recovery. Furthermore, the effect of missing data on the preset rank of matrix is also investigated. The results show that the model can achieve higher accuracy of missing-data recovery with higher preset rank under the same case of missing data.
