Moreover, outlier detection techniques in WSN face the problem of limited resources of transmission bandwidth, energy consumption and storage capacity.

The similar flocking model improves the Vicsek model by introducing the similarity between individuals and velocity updating rule, which causes similar objects to cluster quickly. In order to save energy, CASFM algorithm preprocesses similar data on the sending sensors first, which greatly reduces the transmission of similar data. So the communication overhead is decreased. With the characteristics of self-organization and fast convergence of flocking model, stream data can be clustered quickly.
