Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is an effective technique that is commonly used for detecting noise in collected data of an individual sensor. In addition, the detection accuracy can be significant improved by exploiting the correlation in the data of neighboring sensors of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Principal component analysis is the powerful technique to analyze the correlation in the multivariate data. In this paper, we propose a DWT-PCA combination scheme for noise detection (DWT-PCA-ND). Experimental results on a real dataset show a remarkably higher performance of DWT-PCA-ND comparing to conventional PCA scheme in detection of noise that is a popular anomaly in collected data of WSN.
