Mode Decomposition

This paper proposes a novel performance degradation assessment method for bearing based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), and Gaussian mixture model (GMM). EEMD is applied to preprocess the nonstationary vibration signals and get the feature space. GMM is utilized to approximate the density distribution of the lower-dimensional feature space processed by principal component analysis (PCA). The confidence value (CV) is calculated based on the overlap between the distribution of the baseline feature space and that of the testing feature space to indicate the performance of the bearing. The experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Tree Extraction

Individual tree extraction is an important process for forest resource surveying and monitoring. To obtain more accurate individual tree extraction results, this paper proposed an individual tree extraction method based on transfer learning and Gaussian mixture model separation. In this study, transfer learning is first adopted in classifying trunk points, which can be used as clustering centers for tree initial segmentation. Subsequently, principal component analysis (PCA) transformation and kernel density estimation are proposed to determine the number of mixed components in the initial segmentation. Based on the number of mixed components, the Gaussian mixture model separation is proposed to separate canopies for each individual tree. Finally, the trunk stems corresponding to each canopy are extracted based on the vertical continuity principle. Six tree plots with different forest environments were used to test the performance of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve 87.68% average correctness, which is much higher than that of other two classical methods. In terms of completeness and mean accuracy, the proposed method also outperforms the other two methods.

Fault Prognostics

The fault prognostics of the photovoltaic (PV) power generation system is expected to be a significant challenge as more and more PV systems with increasingly large capacities continue to come into existence. The PV inverter is the core component of the PV system, and it is essential to develop approaches that accurately predict the occurrence of inverter faults to ensure the PV system’s safety. This paper proposes a fault prognostics method which makes full use of the similarities between inverter clusters. First, a feature space was constructed using the t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) algorithm. Then, the fast clustering algorithm was used to search the center inverter of each sampling time from the feature space. The status of the center inverter was adopted to establish the health baseline. Finally, the Gaussian mixture model was established with two data clusters based on the central inverter and the inverter to be predicted. The divergence of the two clusters could be used to predict the inverter’s fault. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated with real PV monitoring data. The experimental results showed that the proposed method successfully predicted the occurrence of an inverter fault 3 months in advance.

Endmember Variability

Gaussian mixture model (GMM) has been one of the most representative models for hyperspectral unmixing while considering endmember variability. However, the GMM unmixing models only have proper smoothness and sparsity prior constraints on the abundances and thus do not take into account the possible local spatial correlation. When the pixels that lie on the boundaries of different materials or the inhomogeneous region, the abundances of the neighboring pixels do not have those prior constraints. Thus, we propose a novel GMM unmixing method based on superpixel segmentation (SS) and low-rank representation (LRR), which is called GMM-SS-LRR. we adopt the SS in the first principal component of HSI to get the homogeneous regions. Moreover, the HSI to be unmixed is partitioned into regions where the statistical property of the abundance coefficients have the underlying low-rank property. Then, to further exploit the spatial data structure, under the Bayesian framework, we use GMM to formulate the unmixing problem, and put the low-rank property into the objective function as a prior knowledge, using generalized expectation maximization to solve the objection function. Experiments on synthetic datasets and real HSIs demonstrated that the proposed GMM-SS-LRR is efficient compared with other current popular methods.

Performance degradation prediction plays a key role in realizing aviation pump health management and condition-based maintenance. Thus, this paper proposes a new approach that combines a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and optimized support vector regression (SVR) to predict aviation pumps’ degradation processes based on the pump outlet pressure signals. Different from other feature extraction methods in which the information of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) is not fully utilized, some useful IMF components are firstly chosen, and the corresponding multi-domain features are extracted from each selected component. Considering that it is not the case that all features are equally sensitive to degradation assessment, PCA is used to select more sensitive degradation features. Since the distribution of these extracted features is a stochastic process in feature space, meanwhile, self-information quantity can describe the uncertainty of system by measuring the average information quantity contained in the probability distribution, self-information quantity based on GMM is defined as degradation index (DI) to describe the degradation degree of the pump quantitatively. Finally, an SVR model is constructed to predict the degradation status of the pump. To achieve higher prediction accuracy, phase space reconstruction theory is first employed to determine the number of the inputs of the SVR model, then a new method combining particle swarm optimization (PSO) with grid search (GS) is developed to optimize the parameters of the SVR model. Finally, both the online data and historical data are utilized for the construction of the SVR model, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by full life cycle data collected from an aviation pump test rig. The results demonstrate that the DI extracted from pump outlet pressure signals can effectively identify and track the current deterioration stage, and the established SVR model has better prediction ability when compared with previously published methods.

Vehicle platform vibration (VPV) directly affects the measurement accuracy of precise measuring instrument (PMI) fixed on it. In order to reduce the influences of VPV on measurement accuracy, it is necessary to perform vibration isolation between vehicle platform and PMI. Analysis of vibration characteristics is a prerequisite for vibration isolation. However, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) reveal that there is obvious mode mixing phenomenon in the collected VPV signals. In this paper, a noise stretch ensemble empirical mode decomposition (NSEEMD) method is proposed to suppress mode mixing, and the specific operation process of NSEEMD is expounded. By NSEEMD, mode mixing of the collected platform vibration data is well suppressed, and the principal component of platform vibration can be obtained.

The sensitivity of various features that are characteristics of machine health may vary significantly under different working conditions. Thus, it is critical to devise a systematic feature selection (FS) approach that provides a useful and automatic guidance on choosing the most effective features for machine health assessment. This article proposes a locality preserving projections (LPP)-based FS approach. Different from principal component analysis (PCA) that aims to discover the global structure of the Euclidean space, LPP can find a good linear embedding that preserves local structure information. This may enable LPP to find more meaningful low-dimensional information hidden in the high-dimensional observations compared with PCA. The LPP-based FS approach is based on unsupervised learning technique, which does not need too much prior knowledge to improve its utility in real-world applications. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was evaluated experimentally on bearing test-beds. A novel machine health assessment indication, Gaussian mixture model-based Mahalanobis distance is proposed to provide a comprehensible indication for quantifying machine health state. The proposed approach has shown to provide the better performance with reduced feature inputs than using all original candidate features. The experimental results indicate its potential applications as an effective tool for machine health assessment.
