For gears and roller bearings, periodic impulses indicate that there are faults in the components. However, it is difficult to detect the impulses at the early stage of fault because they are rather weak and often immersed in heavy noise. Existing wavelet threshold de-noising methods do not work well because they use orthogonal wavelets, which do not match the impulse very well and do not utilize prior information on the impulse. A new method for wavelet threshold de-noising is proposed in this paper; it not only employs the Morlet wavelet as the basic wavelet for matching the impulse, but also uses the maximum likelihood estimation for thresholding by utilizing prior information on the probability density of the impulse. This method has performed excellently when used to de-noise mechanical vibration signals with a low signal-to-noise ratio.

Vibration signals of complex rotating machinery are often cyclostationary, so in this paper one novel method is proposed to detect and predict early faults based on the linear (almost) periodically time-varying autoregressive (LPTV-AR) model. At first the algorithms of identifying model parameters and order are presented using the higher-order cyclic-cumulant, which can suppress additive stationary noises and improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR). Then numerical simulations are done and the results indicate that this model is more effective for cyclostationary signals than the classical AR model. In the end the proposed method is used for detecting incipient gear crack fault in a helicopter gearbox. The results demonstrate that the approach can be used to detect and predict early faults of complex rotating machinery by the kurtosis of the residual signal.

Abstract In actual field testing environments of hydropower units, unit vibration signals are often contaminated with noise. In order to obtain the real vibration signal, a multi-stage vibration signal denoise method SG-SVD-VMD is proposed for the guide bearing nonlinear and non-stationary vibration signals. And the root mean square error (RMSE) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) are used to evaluate the noise reduction ability of eight methods. The results show that the noise-canceling ability of this proposed method has improved to some extent. It can effectively suppress the noise of the hydropower units vibration signals. This method can effectively identify the shaft track and the running state of hydropower units.

The Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) method of mobile robots has the problem of low accuracy in complex environments with dense clutter and various map features, such as complex indoor environments and underwater environments. This problem is mainly embodied in estimating the location and number of feature points on the map and the position of the robot itself. In order to solve this problem, a new method based on the probability hypothesis density (PHD) SLAM is proposed in this paper, a PHD-SLAM Method for Mixed Birth Map Information Based on Amplitude Information (AI-MBMI-PHD-SLAM). Firstly, this paper proposes a PHD-SLAM method based on amplitude information (AI-PHD-SLAM). The method uses the amplitude information of map features to obtain more precise map features. Then, the clutter likelihood function is used to improve the estimation accuracy of the feature map in the SLAM process. Meanwhile, this paper studies the performance of the PHD-SLAM method with the amplitude information under the condition of the known signal-to-noise ratio or the unknown signal-to-noise ratio. Secondly, aiming at the problem that PHD-SLAM lacks a priori information in the prediction stage, an AI-PHD-SLAM-based mixed birth map information method is added. In this method, map information that has been detected before the previous moment is added to the observation information in the map prediction phase as a new map information set in the prediction phase. This can increase the prior information and improve the problem of insufficient prior information in the prediction stage. The results of the experiments show that the proposed method and the improved method outperform the RB-PHD-SLAM method in estimating the number and location accuracy of map features and have higher computational efficiency.

To improve compression performance, and realize the automatic selection of compression algorithms in processing images without the prior information, the regularity relationship between compression algorithms and image features is studied, and a preprocessing scheme of block and classification based on image features has been proposed in this paper. Compression algorithms pre and post preprocessing scheme are investigated for the same 100 images. Our scheme achieves the larger peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed preprocessing scheme of block and classification in improving compression performance and selecting suitable algorithm to process image without the prior information.

Widespread Adoption

Seismic communication might promise to revolutionize the theory of seismic waves. However, one of the greatest challenges to its widespread adoption is the difficulty of signal extraction because the seismic waves in the vibration environments, such as seas, streets, city centers and subways, are very complex. Here, we employ segmented correlation technology with Morse code (SCTMC), which extracts the target signal by cutting the collected data into a series of segments and makes these segments cross-correlate with the decoded signal to process the collected data. To test the effectiveness of the technology, a seismic communication system composed of vibroseis sources and geophones was built in an environment full of other vibration signals. Most notably, it improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), extending the relay distance and suppressing other vibration signals by using technology to deal with seismic data generated by the system.

Repetitive transients are usually generated in the monitoring data when a fault occurs on the machinery. As a result, many methods such as kurtogram and optimized Morlet wavelet and kurtosis method are proposed to extract the repetitive transients for fault diagnosis. However, one shortcoming of these methods is that they are constructed based on the index of kurtosis and are sensitive to the impulsive noise, leading to failure in accurately diagnosing the fault of the machinery operating under harsh environment. To address this issue, an optimized SES entropy wavelet method is proposed. In the proposed method, the optimized parameters including bandwidth and central frequency of Morlet wavelets are selected. Then, based on the wavelet coefficients decomposed using the optimized Morlet wavelet, the SES entropy is calculated to select the scales of wavelet coefficients. Finally, the repetitive transients are reconstructed based on the denoising wavelet coefficients of the selected scales. One simulation case and vibration data collected from the experimental setup are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The simulated and experimental analyses showed that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the proposed method has the largest value. Specifically, the SNR in the experimental analysis of the proposed method is 0.6, while that of the other three methods is 0.043, 0.0065, and 0.0045, respectively. Therefore, the result shows that the proposed method is superior to the traditional methods for repetitive transient extraction from the vibration data suffered from impulsive noise.

Mammography has been known worldwide as the most common imaging modalities utilized for early detection of breast cancer. The mammographic images produced are in greyscale, however they often produced low contrast images, contain artefacts and noise, as well as non-uniform illumination. These limitations can be overcame in the pre-processing stage with the image enhancement process. Therefore, in this research we developed an optimized enhancement framework where the local contrast factor is manipulated to preserve details of the image. This method aims to improve the overall image visibility without altering histogram of the original image, which will affect the segmentation and classification processes. We performed dark background removal in the image histogram at early stage to increase the efficiency of new mean histogram calculation. Then, the histogram is separated into two partitions to allow histogram clipping process to be conducted individually for underexposed and overexposed areas. Consequently, the local contrast factor optimization is conducted to preserve the image details. The results from our proposed method are compared with other methods by the measurement of peak signal-to-noise ratio, structural similarity index, average contrast, and average entropy difference. The results portrayed that our proposed method yield better quality over the others with highest peak signal-to-noise ratio of 32.676. In addition, in terms of qualitative analysis, our proposed method depicted better lesion segmentation with smoother shape of the lesion.

Post-mortem diffusion MRI (dMRI) enables acquisitions of structural imaging data with otherwise unreachable resolutions - at the expense of longer scanning times. These data are typically acquired using highly segmented image acquisition strategies, thereby resulting in an incomplete signal decay before the MRI encoding continues. Especially in dMRI, with low signal intensities and lengthy contrast encoding, such temporal inefficiency translates into reduced image quality and longer scanning times. This study introduces Multi Echo (ME) acquisitions to dMRI on a human MRI system - a time-efficient approach, which increases SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and reduces noise bias for dMRI images. The benefit of the introduced ME dMRI method was validated using numerical Monte Carlo simulations and showcased on a post-mortem brain of a wild chimpanzee. The proposed Maximum Likelihood Estimation echo combination results in an optimal SNR without detectable signal bias. The combined strategy comes at a small price in scanning time (here 30% additional) and leads to a substantial SNR increase (here up to 1.9× which is equivalent to 3.6 averages) and a general reduction of the noise bias.
