Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel method for abnormality detection in Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) based on a Multi-Modal Bayesian generative model to enhance safety and monitoring. During the training phase, we use a Null Force Filter and an unsupervised clustering algorithm on multimodal data collected from Global Positioning System (GPS) and motor current sensors. In the testing phase, we use a Coupled Modified Markov Jump Particle Filter (CM-MJPF) to infer the GPS position and motor current of the USV, as well as to detect abnormalities in both modalities. Due to the coupled methodology, the system is able to learn the statistical similarity between the evolving GPS and motor current data. As a result, the causality of defects is inherently captured within the dynamical inference, making the proposed approach explainable.
