Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to detect boiler tube leakage using a genetic algorithm (GA)-like method and support vector machines (SVM). The GA-like method allows for selection of significant features, and the SVM detects a leak in boiler tubes using the selected features. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method outperforms a state-of-the-art principle component analysis (PCA) method in leakage detection.
