De-noising of wayside acoustic signal from train bearings based on variable digital filtering

In the wayside Acoustic Defective Bearing Detector (ADBD) system, the recorded signal usually includes both the sound from train bearings and the other disturbance sources. The fact of heavy noise corruption and the Doppler Effect of multi-source acoustic signals would badly reduce the effectiveness of online defect detection of the ADBD system. In order to extract useful information from the multi-source signal with Doppler Effect, this paper proposes an effective de-noising method based on the variable digital filter (VDF) for the ADBD system. Specifically, the ridge extraction based on Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) is applied to estimate the instantaneous frequencies (IFs), with which the fitting IF curves based on the Morse theory of theoretical acoustics could be achieved by using the nonlinear curve-fitting so that the parameters of the initial position of the acoustic sources could be calculated. By the aid of these parameters, the IFs according to the target train bearing could be then extracted. After that, the FIR variable digital filters could be designed with all the IFs which match the Morse theory with Doppler Shift so that the noise from the other parts could be effectively restrained after filtering the original signal. The effectiveness of this method is verified by means of a simulation with multi-frequency signals and applications to diagnosis of train roller bearing defects. Results indicate that the proposed method is effective.

为了实现对固体目标微小振动参数的测量,建立了微小振动的激光多普勒信号模型。采用希尔伯特数字运算,将激光多普勒振动信号的即时信号采样转化为信号的谱采样。通过频谱计算得到每个振动周期中瞬时频率的平均数,应用差值采样序列积分计算得到振动频率,最后根据振动信号频率变化与振幅的关系得到振幅。采用希尔伯特方法对实验测试结果进行处理验证,并分析了误差来源。实验结果表明：实验测量目标的振动振幅约为1.85×10-4m,转动的圆频率约为170 Hz。因此,应用希尔伯特变换方法处理测量的目标微小振动信号,获取目标运动的参数是可行的。     

Roller bearing acoustic signature extraction by wavelet packet transform,applications in fault detection and size estimation

Continuous online monitoring of rotating machines is necessary to assess real-time health conditions so as to enable early detection of operation problems and thus reduce the possibility of downtime. Rolling element bearings are crucial parts of many machines and there has been an increasing demand to find effective and reliable health monitoring technique and advanced signal processing to detect and diagnose the size and location of incipient defects. Condition monitoring of rolling element bearings, comprises four main stages which are, statistical analysis, fault diagnostics, defect size calculation, and prognostics. In this paper the effect of defect size, operating speed, and loading conditions on statistical parameters of acoustic emission (AE) signals, using design of experiment method (DOE), have been investigated to select the most sensitive parameters for diagnosing incipient faults and defect growth on rolling element bearings. A modified and effective signal processing algorithm is designed to diagnose localized defects on rolling element bearings components under different operating speeds, loadings, and defect sizes. The algorithm is based on optimizing the ratio of Kurtosis and Shannon entropy to obtain the optimal band pass filter utilizing wavelet packet transform (WPT) and envelope detection. Results show the superiority of the developed algorithm and its effectiveness in extracting bearing characteristic frequencies from the raw acoustic emission signals masked by background noise under different operating conditions. To experimentally measure the defect size on rolling element bearings using acoustic emission technique, the proposed method along with spectrum of squared Hilbert transform are performed under different rotating speeds, loading conditions, and defect sizes to measure the time difference between the double AE impulses. Measurement results show the power of the proposed method for experimentally measuring size of different fault shapes using acoustic emission signals.

Robust object detection based on deformable part model and improved scale invariant feature transform

We propose an approach to improve the detection results of a generic offline trained detector on frames from a specific video. For two consecutive frames of a video with the object, deformable part model (DPM) detection is performed to get the original detections. Then the image patches corresponding to the detected root box and part boxes were respectively obtained. Thirdly, improved scale invariant feature transform features (SIFT) from those image patches were extracted and matched with the SIFT features by KD-Tree. K-means clustering the angle and scale of matched keypoints to filter out the uncorrected matches and further remove false matches by RANSAC algorithm. Finally, the SIFT_DPM detection result from the matches between image patches of continuous frames was obtained. We focus on methods with high precision detection results since it is necessitated in real application. Extensive experiments with state-of-the-art detector demonstrate the efficacy of our approach.

An improved fusion algorithm for infrared and visible images based on multi-scale transform

In this paper, an improved fusion algorithm for infrared and visible images based on multi-scale transform is proposed. First of all, Morphology-Hat transform is used for an infrared image and a visible image separately. Then two images were decomposed into high-frequency and low-frequency images by contourlet transform (CT). The fusion strategy of high-frequency images is based on mean gradient and the fusion strategy of low-frequency images is based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Finally, the final fused image is obtained by using the inverse contourlet transform (ICT). The experiments and results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve image fusion performance, accomplish notable target information and high contrast and preserve rich details information at the same time.

Internal tissue displacement measurement based on ultrasonic wave Doppler signal digital detection and its application to fetal movement monitoring

We have developed a fetal movement monitoring system based on small displacement measurement of internal tissues. When ultrasonic pulses are transmitted to the fetus, the reflected ultrasonic waves which have a Doppler frequency shift due to the fetal movements are detected by using an ultrasonic pulsed Doppler technique. In this paper, we propose a displacement measurement method for internal tissues which is based on the Doppler signal digital detection technique. In the method, the received ultrasonic RF signals are sampled with a sampling frequency of four times higher than the centre frequency of the ultrasonic waves; the Doppler frequency shift signals are derived using digital signal processing. From the detected signals, the internal displacements are estimated using the arc-tangent method. The basic algorithm of the detection method has already been used in the area of blood flow sensing, however, we apply the algorithm to the displacement measurement of internal tissues. The comparison between the proposed method and the conventional method is presented. The fetal movement quantitative monitoring system based on the method which has been constructed is shown.

Considering the difficulties in image segmentation caused by the complexity of diverse ecological environments and various artificial targets in high resolution remote sensing images, especially in city scene, and in order to overcome the limitations existing in the traditional segmentation algorithm, JSEG (J-Segmentation), for high resolution remote sensing image segmentation and to further improve the segmentation accuracy, WJSEG (Wavelet-JSEG), a novel multi-scale segmentation algorithm based on wavelet transform, is proposed, which is an improved JSEG algorithm. WJSEG is an improved form of JSEG in relation to three aspects, including color quantization, multi-scale segmentation and region merging by introducing the multi-scale analysis tool based on wavelet transform. Experiments have been conducted on high resolution SPOT 5 pan-sharpened multispectral image and IKONOS panchromatic image. These experimental results were compared with those gained by the traditional JSEG algorithm and the famous commercial software named eCognition, which validated the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed WJSEG algorithm.
