Source identification of gasoline engine noise based on continuous wavelet transform and EEMD–RobustICA

In order to separate noise source of gasoline engine, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), robust independent component analysis (RobustICA) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) are applied to study the blind source separation and noise source identification of gasoline engine. After the signal is decomposed with EEMD into a set of intrinsic mode function (IMFs), RobustICA has been applied to extract independent sources. The combined technique alleviates the problem of mode mixing in EMD and overcomes the problem that the number of sensors must be larger than or equal to the number of separated components. At the same time, RobustICA’s cost efficiency and robustness are particularly remarkable for short sample length in the absence of pre-whiten. CWT using the Complex Morlet Wavelet (CMW) is used for its better time–frequency localization features to analyze time–frequency characteristics of the ICA results. Combining the time–frequency results with different noise sources frequency spectrums, the corresponding relation of the different noise sources of gasoline engine and the independent components is determined. It turns out that these independent components correspond to the exhaust, combustion and piston slap noise of the gasoline engine respectively.

为了提高差分光柱像运动激光雷达(DCIM雷达)探测信噪比,提出了一种基于集合经验模态分解(EEMD)和奇异值分解(SVD)的混合降噪法.由EEMD获得含噪信号多层模态分量,根据各模态分量之间互相关系数的差分量确定主要噪声并予以滤除,利用奇异值分解识别模态分量中的残余噪声并提取有用信号.利用混合降噪法EEMD-SVD和EEMD方法分别对模拟仿真信号和实测激光雷达信号进行降噪处理.结果表明,当模拟噪声标准差在0.05~0.2之间时,相比与未降噪直接反演的湍流廓线,EEMD-SVD方法降噪后反演的湍流廓线信噪比提高了2.718 7dB~6.921 5dB,相应的EEMD方法提高了1.446 1dB~3.366 1dB;两个不同时段DCIM雷达降噪前后反演廓线与探空廓线的对比发现,EEMD-SVD和EEMD两种方法降噪后反演廓线较之于未降噪的反演廓线,信噪比最大提高了2.526 5dB和2.155 6dB.EEMD-SVD的降噪效果优于EEMD,能够更有效地识别和滤除噪声,较大地提高了原始信号的信噪比,获得更准确的大气湍流廓线反演结果.     

Harmonic signal extraction from noisy chaotic interference based on synchrosqueezed wavelet transform

For the harmonic signal extraction from chaotic interference, a harmonic signal extraction method is proposed based on synchrosqueezed wavelet transform(SWT). First, the mixed signal of chaotic signal, harmonic signal, and noise is decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode-type functions by synchrosqueezed wavelet transform(SWT) then the instantaneous frequency of intrinsic mode-type functions is analyzed by using of Hilbert transform, and the harmonic extraction is realized. In experiments of harmonic signal extraction, the Duffing and Lorenz chaotic signals are selected as interference signal, and the mixed signal of chaotic signal and harmonic signal is added by Gauss white noises of different intensities.The experimental results show that when the white noise intensity is in a certain range, the extracting harmonic signals measured by the proposed SWT method have higher precision, the harmonic signal extraction effect is obviously superior to the classical empirical mode decomposition method.     

A SIMPLE MODEL TO ESTIMATE THE IMPACT FORCE INDUCED BY PISTON SLAP

The dynamics of piston's secondary motion (lateral and rotational motion) across the clearance between piston and cylinder inner wall of reciprocating machines are analyzed. This paper presents an analytical model, which can predict the impact forces and vibratory response of engine block surface induced by the piston slap of an internal combustion engine. A piston is modelled on a three-degree-of-freedom system to represent its planar motion. When slap occurs, the impact point between piston skirt and cylinder inner wall is modelled on a two-degree-of-freedom vibratory system. The equivalent parameters such as mass, spring constant, and damping constant of piston and cylinder inner wall are estimated by using measured (driving) point mobility. Those parameters are used to calculate the impact force and for estimating the vibration level of engine block surfaces. The predicted results are compared with experimental results to verify the model.     

基于经验模态分解的高光谱遥感数据去噪方法

经验模态分解(EMD)是一种新的时频分析方法,经EMD分解后的各个固有模态函数(IMF)突出了原始信号的局部特征,从而可以区分噪声和有用信号。基于此,结合高光谱遥感数据的光谱变化特征,提出了一种基于经验模态分解的高光谱遥感数据去噪方法。通过对理论数据的实验表明,数据中的噪声无论是高斯分布还是均匀分布,数据经EMD分解后,噪声都主要集中在前几个特定的IMF,对相应的IMF进行滤波处理后并与其他IMF分量进行重构就可得到去噪信号,与小波去噪结果相比较,这种方法效果更好。最后把该去噪方法应用于野外实测的油膜高光谱数据去噪,实验结果表明,该方法能准确、有效地去除高光谱遥感数据的噪声。     

Target detection for low cost uncooled MWIR cameras based on empirical mode decomposition

In this work, a novel method for detecting low intensity fast moving objects with low cost Medium Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) cameras is proposed. The method is based on background subtraction in a video sequence obtained with a low density Focal Plane Array (FPA) of the newly available uncooled lead selenide (PbSe) detectors. Thermal instability along with the lack of specific electronics and mechanical devices for canceling the effect of distortion make background image identification very difficult. As a result, the identification of targets is performed in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) conditions, which may considerably restrict the sensitivity of the detection algorithm. These problems are addressed in this work by means of a new technique based on the empirical mode decomposition, which accomplishes drift estimation and target detection. Given that background estimation is the most important stage for detecting, a previous denoising step enabling a better drift estimation is designed. Comparisons are conducted against a denoising technique based on the wavelet transform and also with traditional drift estimation methods such as Kalman filtering and running average. The results reported by the simulations show that the proposed scheme has superior performance.

An intelligent approach for engine fault diagnosis based on Hilbert–Huang transform and support vector machine

Based on the techniques of Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) and support vector machine (SVM), a noise-based intelligent method for engine fault diagnosis (EFD), so-called HHT–SVM model, is developed in this paper. The noises of a sample engine under normal and several fault states are first measured and denoised by using the wavelet packet threshold method to initially lower the noise level with negligible signal distortion. To extract fault features of the engine, then, the HHT is selected and applied to the measured noise signals. A nine-dimensional vector, which consists of seven intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), maximum value of HHT marginal spectrum and its corresponding frequency component, is specified to represent each engine fault feature. Finally, an optimal SVM model is established and trained for engine failure classification by using the fault feature vectors of the noise signals. Cross-validation results show that the proposed noise-based HHT–SVM method is accurate and effective for engine fault diagnosis. Due to outstanding time–frequency characteristics and pattern recognition capacity of the HHT and SVM, the newly proposed HHT–SVM can be used to deal with both the stationary and nonstationary signals, and even the transient ones. In the view of applications, the HHT–SVM technique may be suggested not only to detect the abnormal states of vehicle engines, but also to be extended to other fields for failure diagnosis in engineering.

On the frequency content of the surface vibration of a diesel engine

The results of an experimental investigation into the narrow band frequency content of the surface vibration of a particular four cylinder, water-cooled, indirect injection diesel engine are described. The long term objective, of which the work reported here is a part, is the reduction of noise emission at source. Noise is radiated from the engine as a result of surface vibration. The characteristics of surface vibration are described and an explanation is given of why the discrete frequency response of the engine has hitherto appeared to be broad band nature. The relationship of the pure tone response to the combustion pressure spectrum is also described. The vibration of the engine side wall has the greatest amplitude in the frequency band 2·9-3·8 kHz, irrespective of engine speed and load, which could be a result of piston slap. The vibration of the crankcase skirt, in contrast, is more or less uniform throughout the frequency range 0–5 kHz, reflecting the great difficulty in achieving a significant reduction in the overall level at this location. The low frequency pressure spectrum is shown to have roughly a 47 dB/decade decline in amplitude with frequency below 800 Hz, in comparison with an oft-quoted figure of 30 dB/decade. Significant differences between no load and half load pressure spectra are shown to exist.

Piston scuffing fault and its identification in an IC engine by vibration analysis

In this paper, the effects of piston scuffing fault on engine performance and vibrations are investigated. A procedure based on vibration analysis is also presented to identify piston scuffing fault. To this end, an internal combustion (IC) engine ran under a specific test procedure. The engine parameters and vibration signals were measured during the experiments. To produce piston scuffing fault, three-body abrasive wear mechanism was employed. The experimental results showed that piston scuffing fault caused the engine performance to reduce significantly. The vibration signals were analyzed in time-domain, frequency-domain and time–frequency domain. Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) was used to obtain time–frequency representations. “dmey” wavelet was selected as the optimum wavelet type for this research among different wavelet types using the three criteria of energy, Shannon entropy and energy to Shannon entropy ratio. The results of CWT analysis by “dmey” wavelet showed that piston scuffing fault excited the frequency band of 2.4–4.7 kHz in which the frequency of 3.7 kHz was affected more. Finally, seven different features were extracted from the engine vibration signals related to the frequency band of 2.4–4.7 kHz. The results indicated that maximum, mean, RMS, skewness, kurtosis and impulse factor of the engine vibration related to the found frequency band increased significantly due to piston scuffing fault. The obtained results showed that the proposed method identified piston scuffing fault and discovered the vibration characteristics of this fault like frequency band. The results also demonstrated the possibility of using engine vibrations in piston scuffing fault identification.     

Studies of spectral properties of short genes using the wavelet subspace Hilbert–Huang transform (WSHHT)

This paper presents a new algorithm for the analysis of spectral properties of short genes using the wavelet transform and the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT). A wavelet subspace algorithm combined with the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is introduced to create subdivided intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a cross-correlation analysis is applied to remove pseudo-spectral components. Experiments are carried out on DNA sequences with the double-base (DB) curve representation and the results show that the signal-to-noise ratio of buried signals can be enhanced using the proposed method, yielding significant patterns that are rarely observed with conventional methods. The wavelet subspace Hilbert–Huang transform (WSHHT) algorithm is able to correctly identify spectral patterns of very short genes (below 70 bp) in DNA sequences.

Blind source separation of multichannel electroencephalogram based on wavelet transform and ICA

Combination of the wavelet transform and independent component analysis （ICA） was employed for blind source separation （BSS） of multichannel electroencephalogram （EEG）. After denoising the original signals by discrete wavelet transform, high frequency components of some noises and artifacts were removed from the original signals. The denoised signals were reconstructed again for the purpose of ICA, such that the drawback that ICA cannot distinguish noises from source signals can be overcome effectively. The practical processing results showed that this method is an effective way to BSS of multichannel EEG. The method is actually a combination of wavelet transform with adaptive neural network, so it is also useful for BBS of other complex signals.
