Non Stationary Signal

Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a nonlinear non-stationary signal processing technique, which is more effective than traditional time-frequency analysis methods in complex seismic signal processing. However, this method has problems such as modal aliasing and end effect. The problem causes the accuracy of signal processing to drop. Therefore, this paper introduces the method of combining the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) and the Normalized Hilbert transform (NHT) to extract the instantaneous properties. The specific process is as follows: First, the EEMD method is used to decompose the seismic signal to a series of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF), and then The IMFs is screened by using the relevant properties, and finally the NHT is performed on the IMF to obtain the instantaneous properties.

Faults Diagnosis

Time-frequency and transient analysis have been widely used in signal processing and faults diagnosis. These methods represent important characteristics of a signal in both time and frequency domain. In this way, essential features of the signal can be viewed and analyzed in order to understand or model the faults characteristics. Historically, Fourier spectral analyses have provided a general approach for monitoring the global energy/frequency distribution. However, an assumption inherent to this method is the stationary and linear of the signal. As a result, Fourier methods are not generally an appropriate approach in the investigation of faults signals with transient components. This work presents the application of a new signal processing technique, empirical mode decomposition and the Hilbert spectrum, in analysis of vibration signals and gear faults diagnosis for a machine tool. The results show that this method may provide not only an increase in the spectral resolution but also reliability for the gear faults diagnosis.

Instantaneous Frequencies

Due to low frequency resolution for closely spaced spectral components, i.e., the instantaneous frequencies (IFs) lie within an octave or even have intersections, the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) fails to separate such signals and consequently generates inaccurate time–frequency distribution (TFD). In this paper, a transform operator pair assisted HHT is proposed to improve the capability of the HHT to separate signals, especially those with IF intersections. The two operators of a pair are constructed to remove the chosen component that is clearly observed in the TFD of the signal, and then recover it from intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). With this approach, the components can be clearly separated and the intersections can also be identified in the TFD. Since a priori knowledge of the transform operator is usually not available in real applications, an iterative algorithm is presented to obtain a global transform operator. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by analysis of numerical signals and a real signal collected from a cracked rotor–bearing system during the start-up process. Moreover, the proposed approach is shown to be superior to the normalized Hilbert transform (NHT) as well as the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD).

The possibility of the application of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in search and rescue activities in a deep underground mine has been investigated. In the presented case study, a UAV is searching for a lost or injured human who is able to call for help but is not able to move or use any communication device. A UAV capturing acoustic data while flying through underground corridors is used. The acoustic signal is very noisy since during the flight the UAV contributes high-energetic emission. The main goal of the paper is to present an automatic signal processing procedure for detection of a specific sound (supposed to contain voice activity) in presence of heavy, time-varying noise from UAV. The proposed acoustic signal processing technique is based on time-frequency representation and Euclidean distance measurement between reference spectrum (UAV noise only) and captured data. As both the UAV and “injured” person were equipped with synchronized microphones during the experiment, validation has been performed. Two experiments carried out in lab conditions, as well as one in an underground mine, provided very satisfactory results.

Common Crossing

Track-side inertial measurements on common crossings are the object of the present study. The paper deals with the problem of measurement's interpretation for the estimation of the crossing structural health. The problem is manifested by the weak relation of measured acceleration components and impact lateral distribution to the lifecycle of common crossing rolling surface. The popular signal processing and machine learning methods are explored to solve the problem. The Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) method is used to extract the time-frequency features of acceleration components. The method is based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) that is advantageous to the conventional spectral analysis methods with higher frequency resolution and managing nonstationary nonlinear signals. Linear regression and Gaussian Process Regression are used to fuse the extracted features in one structural health (SH) indicator and study its relation to the crossing lifetime. The results have shown the significant relation of the derived with GPR indicator to the lifetime.

Abstract Background The acoustic emission (AE) analysis has been used increasingly for gearbox diagnostics. Since AE signals are of non-linear, non-stationary and broadband nature, traditional signal processing techniques such as envelope spectrum must be carefully applied to avoid a wrong fault diagnosis. One signal processing technique that has been used to enhance the demodulation process for vibration signals is the empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Until now, the combination of both techniques has not yet been used to improve the fault diagnostics in gearboxes using AE signals. Purpose In this research we explore the use of the EMD to improve the demodulation process of AE signals using the Hilbert transform and enhance the representation of a gear fault in the envelope spectrum. Methods AE signals were measured on a planetary gearbox (PG) with a ring gear fault. A comparative signal analysis was conducted for the envelope spectra of the original AE signals and the obtained intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) considering three types of filters: highpass filter in the whole AE range, bandpass filter based on IMF spectra analysis and bandpass filter based on the fast kurtogram. Results It is demonstrated how the results of the envelope spectrum analysis can be improved by the selection of the relevant frequency band of the IMF most affected by the fault. Moreover, not considering a complementary signal processing technique such as the EMD prior the calculation of the envelope of AE signals can lead to a wrong fault diagnosis in gearboxes. Conclusion The EMD has the potential to reveal frequency bands in AE signals that are most affected by a fault and improve the demodulation process of these signals. Further research shall focus on overcome issues of the EMD technique to enhance its application to AE signals.

<p>Abstract</p><p>Most of the time series in nature are nonlinear and nonstationary affected by climate change particularly. It is inevitable that Taiwan has also experienced frequent drought events in recent years. However, drought events are natural disasters with no clear warnings and their influences are cumulative. The difficulty of detecting and analyzing the drought phenomenon remains. To deal with the above-mentioned problem, Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD) is introduced to analyze the temperature and rainfall data from 1975~2018 in this study, which is a powerful method developed for the time-frequency analysis of nonlinear, nonstationary time series. This method can not only analyze the spatial locality and temporal locality of signals but also decompose the multiple-dimensional time series into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). By the set of IMFs, the meaningful instantaneous frequency and the trend of the signals can be observed. Considering stochastic and deterministic influences, to enhance the accuracy this study also reconstruct IMFs into two components, stochastic and deterministic, by the coefficient of auto-correlation.</p><p>In this study, the influences of temperature and precipitation on the drought events will be discussed. Furthermore, to decrease the significant impact of drought events, this study also attempts to forecast the occurrences of drought events in the short-term via the Artificial Neural Network technique. And, based on the CMIP5 model, this study also investigates the trend and variability of drought events and warming in different climatic scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD), Intrinsic Mode Function(IMF), Drought</p>

Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a new time-frequency-domain analysis method, which is suitable for non-stationary and nonlinear signals. In this paper, endpoint continuation and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) decomposition method are introduced to improve the HHT, which solve the endpoint winger and modal aliasing problem. The improved HHT (IHHT) is used for analyzing the harmonic signal and detecting the fault signal of power system. Simulation results show that IHHT is feasible and effective for harmonic analysis and fault detection.

Mode Decomposition

We have introduced a novel time-frequency decomposition approach for analyzing seismic data. This method is inspired by the newly developed variational mode decomposition (VMD). The principle of VMD is to look for an ensemble of modes with their respective center frequencies, such that the modes collectively reproduce the input signal and each mode is smooth after demodulation into baseband. The advantage of VMD is that there is no residual noise in the modes and it can further decrease redundant modes compared with the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition (CEEMD) and improved CEEMD (ICEEMD). Moreover, VMD is an adaptive signal decomposition technique, which can nonrecursively decompose a multicomponent signal into several quasi-orthogonal intrinsic mode functions. This new tool, in contrast to empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and its variations, such as EEMD, CEEMD, and ICEEMD, is based on a solid mathematical foundation and can obtain a time-frequency representation that is less sensitive to noise. Two tests on synthetic data showed the effectiveness of our VMD-based time-frequency analysis method. Application on field data showed the potential of the proposed approach in highlighting geologic characteristics and stratigraphic information effectively. All the performances of the VMD-based approach were compared with those from the CEEMD- and ICEEMD-based approaches.

The Hilbert Transform

Turbidity data obtained by field observations off the Tenryu River mouth were analyzed using the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) in order to investigate the characteristic variations in time and in the frequency domain. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) decomposed the original data into only eight intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a residue in the first step of the HHT. In the second step, the Hilbert transform was applied to the IMFs to calculate the Hilbert spectrum, which is the time-frequency distribution of the instantaneous frequency and energy. The changes in instantaneous frequencies showed correspondence to high turbidity events in the Hilbert spectrum. The investigation of instantaneous frequency variations can be used to understand transitions in the state of the turbidity. The comparison between the Fourier spectrum and the Hilbert spectrum integrated in time showed that the Hilbert spectrum makes it possible to detect and quantify the cycle of locally repeated events.

Non Stationary Signal

This study proposed an enhanced time-frequency representation of audio signal using EMD-2TEMD based approach. To analyze non-stationary signal like audio, timefrequency representation is an important aspect. In case of representing or analyzing such kind of signal in time-frequency-energy distribution, hilbert spectrum is a recent approach and popular way which has several advantages over other methods like STFT, WT etc. Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) is a prominent method consists of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert Spectral Analysis (HSA). An enhanced method called Turning Tangent empirical mode decomposition (2T-EMD) has recently developed to overcome some limitations of classical EMD like cubic spline problems, sifting stopping condition etc. 2T-EMD based hilbert spectrum of audio signal encountered some issues due to the generation of too many IMFs in the process where EMD produces less. To mitigate those problems, a mutual implementation of 2T-EMD & classical EMD is proposed in this paper which enhances the representation of hilbert spectrum along with significant improvements in source separation result using Independent Subspace Analysis (ISA) based clustering in case of audio signals. This refinement of hilbert spectrum not only contributes to the future work of source separation problem but also many other applications in audio signal processing.
