Independent component analysis (ICA) is an effective feature extraction tool for process monitoring. However, the conventional ICA-based process monitoring methods usually adopt noise-free ICA models and thus may perform unsatisfactorily under the adverse effects of the measurement noise. In this paper, a process monitoring method using a new noisy independent component analysis, referred to as NoisyICAn, is proposed. Using the noisy ICA model which considers the measurement noise explicitly, a NoisyICAn algorithm is developed to estimate the mixing matrix by setting up a series of the fourth-order cumulant matrices of the measured data and performing the joint diagonalization of these matrices. The kurtosis relationships of the independent components and measured variables are subsequently obtained based on the estimated mixing matrix, for recursively estimating the kurtosis of independent components. Two monitoring statistics are then built to detect process faults using the obtained recursive estimate of the independent components' kurtosis. The simulation studies are carried out on a simple three-variable system and a continuous stirred tank reactor system, and the results obtained demonstrate that the proposed NoisyICAn-based monitoring method outperforms the conventional noise-free ICA-based monitoring methods as well as the benchmark monitoring methods based on the existing noisy ICA schemes adopted from blind source separation, in terms of the fault detection time and local fault detection rate.
