Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

Abstract It is important to recognize the type of cloud for automatic observation by ground nephoscope. Although cloud shapes are protean, cloud textures are relatively stable and contain rich information. In this paper, a novel method is presented to extract the nephogram feature from the Hilbert spectrum of cloud images using bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD). Cloud images are first decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of textural features through BEMD. The IMFs are converted from two- to one-dimensional format, and then the Hilbert–Huang transform is performed to obtain the Hilbert spectrum and the Hilbert marginal spectrum. It is shown that the Hilbert spectrum and the Hilbert marginal spectrum of different types of cloud textural images can be divided into three different frequency bands. A recognition rate of 87.5%–96.97% is achieved through random cloud image testing using this algorithm, indicating the efficiency of the proposed method for cloud nephogram.

Spectral Transform

The analysis of nonlinear and nonstationary time series is still a challenge, as most classical time series analysis techniques are restricted to data that is, at least, stationary. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in combination with a Hilbert spectral transform, together called Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), alleviates this problem in a purely data-driven manner. EMD adaptively and locally decomposes such time series into a sum of oscillatory modes, called Intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and a nonstationary component called residuum. In this contribution, we propose an EMD-based method, called Sliding empirical mode decomposition (SEMD), which, with a reasonable computational effort, extends the application area of EMD to a true on-line analysis of time series comprising a huge amount of data if recorded with a high sampling rate. Using nonlinear and nonstationary toy data, we demonstrate the good performance of the proposed algorithm. We also show that the new method extracts component signals that fulfill all criteria of an IMF very well and that it exhibits excellent reconstruction quality. The method itself will be refined further by a weighted version, called weighted sliding empirical mode decomposition (wSEMD), which reduces the computational effort even more while preserving the reconstruction quality.

Diagnosis Method

This paper proposes a diagnosis method of ball screw preload loss through the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) and Multiscale entropy (MSE) process when machine tool is in operation. Maximum dynamic preload of 2% and 4% ball screws are predesigned, manufactured and conducted experimentally. Vibration signal patterns are examined and revealed by Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) with Hilbert Spectrum. Different preload features are extracted and discriminated by using HHT. The irregularity development of ball screw with preload loss is determined and abstracting via MSE based on complexity perception. The experiment results successfully show preload loss can be envisaged by the proposed methodology.

Stockwell Transform

This paper presents the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) with Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), which is an opportune method to analyse non-stationary traces of nonlinear waves, with freak waves as a case in point. Comparison to conventional methods such as the Fourier, Wavelet and Stockwell Transform is undertaken. Furthermore, an investigation of different EMD schemes (Ensemble EMD or Smoothed EMD) is undertaken to improve the interpretability of the results. Ultimately the Draupner New Year Wave is examined by using the HHT. After all, on successfully applying the HHT, a new perspective on analysing waves is suggested.
