We propose a weighted singular value decomposition (WSVD) to reduce the random noise in the Rayleigh backscattering signal of the phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) to enhance the detection performance of the distributed vibration sensing. A 2D image is formed by assembling the raw Rayleigh backscattering traces into a matrix form, and slowly varying fluctuation and random noise can be removed using the WSVD. Consequently, the location information and the frequency of vibration induced by the external vibration event can be extracted. A vibration event with 9 m spatial resolution is detected along a 2.4 km single mode fiber. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of location information for the 102 Hz physical vibration and the 525 Hz acoustic vibration was found to be 10.7 and 12.2 dB, respectively. The SNR of the vibration events demonstrate an increase of 6–7 dB compared to the conventional method, showing the excellent denoising capability of this new approach.

Polarization analysis can be achieved efficiently by treating a time window of a single‐station triaxial recording as a matrix and doing a singular value decomposition (SVD) of this seismic data matrix. SVD of the triaxial data matrix produces an eigenanalysis of the data covariance (cross‐energy) matrix and a rotation of the data onto the directions given by the eigenanalysis (Karhunen‐Loève transform), all in one step. SVD provides a complete principal components analysis of the data in the analysis time window. Selection of this time window is crucial to the success of the analysis and is governed by three considerations: the window should contain only one arrival; the window should be such that the signal‐to‐noise ratio is maximized; and the window should be long enough to be able to discriminate random noise from signal. The SVD analysis provides estimates of signal, signal polarization directions, and noise. An F‐test is proposed which gives the confidence level for the hypothesis of rectilinear polarization. This paper illustrates the analysis and interpretation of synthetic rectilinearly and elliptically polarized arrivals at a single triaxial station by SVD.

This paper researches fault feature extraction method based on singular value decomposition and the improved HHT method for non-stationary characteristics of wind turbine gearbox vibration signal. Firstly, through the signal phase space reconstruction, the singular value decomposition as a pre-filter, to preprocessing the signal, effectively weaken the random noise. Then using EEMD to improve the HHT method, decompose the denoising signal into a series of different time scales component of intrinsic mode functions. The fault characteristics of the signal are extracted by the Hilbert transform. Finally, simulating gearbox fault experiment to verify the effectively of the proposed method.
