Abstract
A method for identifying erroneous sensor outputs is provided. The method includes obtaining a first plurality of samples from a sensor over a period of time. A mean of the plurality of samples is determined. A first additional sample from the sensor at a time subsequent to times that the first plurality of samples were obtained is also received. A divergence of the first additional sample from the mean is determined. The first additional sample is identified as erroneous when the divergence is greater than a threshold.
