Introduction

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have revolutionized the landscape of real-time monitoring and anomaly detection, enabling systems to identify irregularities in complex datasets quickly and accurately [1]. With the growing volume and complexity of data generated in modern industries, traditional methods of detecting anomalies are becoming increasingly inefficient [2]. CNNs have demonstrated significant potential to address these challenges by offering automated

solutions that can analyze high-dimensional data, such as images, sensor readings, and video streams, in real-time [3]. Their ability to learn hierarchical features from raw data makes them uniquely suited for tasks that require quick identification of outliers and anomalous patterns [4-5]. In real-time monitoring systems, the primary goal was to provide continuous, accurate analysis of incoming data streams [6]. CNNs achieve this by utilizing multiple layers that extract features at varying levels of abstraction, allowing the model to learn complex patterns within the data [7]. In industrial applications, CNNs can monitor sensor outputs for signs of malfunction or performance degradation [8]. In medical diagnostics, can analyze patient data for early signs of disease or abnormal behavior [9]. This capability to detect anomalies in real-time can significantly reduce response times and improve decision-making, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and safety in various domains [10].
