Abstract
A device for detecting and characterizing anomalies in a water continuum is provided. The device is configured to receive measurements of physical quantities on the basis of sensors situated in the water continuum. The measurements are thereafter transformed, and a detection of anomalies is performed by a detector of anomalies which is trained with transformed values arising from the same sensors. In parallel with the detection, predefined rules make it possible to characterize a possible anomaly. Thus, an anomaly detection can be optimized for a water continuum in particular, whilst characterization with predefined rules allows the device to be operational without each anomaly having needed to be detected in this water continuum in particular.
