Fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) is one of the important components of Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). In order to improve the accuracy of the INS, it is necessary to suppress the random error of the FOG signal. In this paper, a variational mode decomposition (VMD) denoising method based on beetle swarm antenna search (BSAS) algorithm is proposed to reduce the noise in FOG signal. Firstly, the BSAS algorithm is introduced in detail. Then, the permutation entropy of the band-limited intrinsic mode functions (BLIMFs) is taken as the optimization index, and two key parameters of VMD algorithm, including decomposition mode number K and quadratic penalty factor α , are optimized by using the BSAS algorithm. Next, a new method based on Hausdorff distance (HD) between the probability density function (PDF) of all BLIMFs and that of the original signal is proposed in this paper to determine the relevant modes. Finally, the selected BLIMF components are reconstructed to get the denoised signal. In addition, the simulation results show that the proposed scheme is better than the existing schemes in terms of noise reduction performance. Two experiments further demonstrate the priority of the proposed scheme in the FOG noise reduction compared with other schemes.

To eliminate noise interference in pipeline leakage detection, a signal denoising method based on an improved variational mode decomposition algorithm is proposed. This work adopts a standard variational mode decomposition algorithm with decomposition level K and the penalty factor α. The improvements consist of using a two-dimensional sparrow search algorithm to find K and α. To verify the superiority of the sparrow search algorithm to find K and α, it is compared with three earlier studies. These studies used the firefly algorithm, particle swarm optimization, and whale optimization algorithm to perform the optimization. The main result of this study is to demonstrate that the variational mode decomposition improved by sparrow search algorithm gives a much improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to the other methods. In all other respects, the results are comparable.

In recent years, a new method of fault diagnosis, named variational mode decomposition (VMD), has been widely used in industrial production, but the decomposition accuracy of VMD is determined by two parameters, which are respectively the decomposition layer number k and the penalty factor α, if the parameters are not properly selected, there will be over-decomposition or under-decomposition. In order to find an approach to determine the parameters adaptively, a method to optimize VMD by using the immune fruit fly optimization algorithm (IFOA) is proposed in this paper. In this method, permutation entropy is used as the fitness function, firstly, the immune fruit fly optimization algorithm is used to search the combined parameters of k and α in VMD, searching for the best combination parameters of k and α by iteration, and then uses the combined parameters to perform VMD, finally, the center frequency is determined through frequency spectrum analysis. The method mentioned is applied to the fault extraction of a simulated signal and a measured signal of a wind turbine gearbox, and the fault frequency is successfully extracted. Using ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and singular spectrum decomposition (SSD) to compare with the proposed method, which validated feasibility of the proposed method.

The performance of the rolling bearing of a spindle device is directly related to the safety and reliability of the operation of a mine hoist. To extract bearing vibration signal features effectively for fault diagnosis, a feature extraction method based on the parameter optimization of a variational mode decomposition (VMD) method and permutation entropy (PE) is proposed. In addition, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to identify bearing fault types. An analogue signal is used to test the effect of noise and sampling frequency on VMD performance. Focused on the problem of the VMD method needing to determine the number of mode components K and a penalty factor α during the signal decomposition process, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the parameter combination [K,α] with the minimum sample entropy as the indicator. By using mean squared error (MSE) and correlation coefficient, an evaluation indicator is constructed to determine the decomposition effects of the optimized VMD, centre frequency, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and ensemble EMD (EEMD) methods. The normalized PE of the five mode components is used as an eigenvalue, which is used as the input parameter of the SVM. Two different experimental datasets are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method has better diagnostic accuracy than EMD, EEMD and a BP neural network in the case of limited samples and unknown sample inputs. It can provide a good reference for the diagnosis of a rolling bearing and has practical application value.

To improve the reliability of Global Positioning System (GPS) signal extraction, the traditional variational mode decomposition (VMD) method cannot determine the number of intrinsic modal functions or the value of the penalty factor in the process of noise reduction, which leads to inadequate or over-decomposition in time series analysis and will cause problems. Therefore, in this paper, a new approach using improved variational mode decomposition and wavelet packet transform (IVMD-WPT) was proposed, which takes the energy entropy mutual information as the objective function and uses the grasshopper optimisation algorithm to optimise the objective function to adaptively determine the number of modal decompositions and the value of the penalty factor to verify the validity of the IVMD-WPT algorithm. We performed a test experiment with two groups of simulation time series and three indicators: root mean square error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (CC) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These indicators were used to evaluate the noise reduction effect. The simulation results showed that IVMD-WPT was better than the traditional empirical mode decomposition and improved variational mode decomposition (IVMD) methods and that the RMSE decreased by 0.084 and 0.0715 mm; CC and SNR increased by 0.0005 and 0.0004 dB, and 862.28 and 6.17 dB, respectively. The simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Finally, we performed an analysis with 100 real GPS height time series from the Crustal Movement Observation Network of China (CMONOC). The results showed that the RMSE decreased by 11.4648 and 6.7322 mm, and CC and SNR increased by 0.1458 and 0.0588 dB, and 32.6773 and 26.3918 dB, respectively. In summary, the IVMD-WPT algorithm can adaptively determine the number of decomposition modal functions of VMD and the optimal combination of penalty factors; it helps to further extract effective information for noise and can perfectly retain useful information in the original time series.

Variational mode decomposition provides a feasible method for non-stationary signal analysis, but the method is still not adaptive, which greatly limits the wide application of the method. Therefore, an adaptive spectrum mode extraction method is proposed in this article. The proposed method is mainly composed of spectral segmentation, mode extraction, and feedback adjustment. In the spectral segmentation part, considering the lack of robustness of classical scale space in a strong noise environment, this article proposes a method of fault feature mapping, which solves over-decomposition of variational mode decomposition guided by classical scale space. In the mode extraction part, for insufficient self-adaptability of the single penalty factor in the variational mode decomposition method, this article proposes a method of spectral aggregation factor, which solves multiple penalty factors that conform to different intrinsic modal functions. In the feedback adjustment part, this article proposes the method of transboundary criterion, which makes the result of variational mode decomposition within a preset range. Finally, using dispersion entropy and kurtosis indicators, intrinsic modal function components containing fault frequencies are extracted for envelope spectrum analysis to extract fault characteristic frequencies. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the proposed method is applied to simulation signals and bearing fault signals. Comparing the decomposition results of different methods, the conclusion shows that the proposed method is more advantageous for the fault feature extraction of rolling bearings.

Highlights A method of monitoring the working conditions of a slideway seedling-picking mechanism based on variational mode decomposition (VMD), envelope entropy, and energy entropy is proposed. Based on the criterion of envelope entropy minimization, the combination of the decomposition layer number and penalty factor in VMD is optimized to yield a satisfactory decomposition effect of the analyzed vibration signal. The BP-AdaBoost algorithm is used to improve the working condition classification performance for the slideway seedling-picking mechanism. The working-condition identification effect with the proposed method are compared with those through EMD-based, LMD-based, and EEMD-based methods. Abstract . The slideway seedling-picking mechanism is a type of rotating machinery. This study proposes a novel method of identifying the working conditions of slideway seedling-picking mechanisms for early fault diagnosis by utilizing a back-propagation adaptive boosting (BP-AdaBoost) algorithm based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) optimized by the envelope entropy. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively verify the four working conditions (normal state, slideway failure, cam failure, and spring failure). The overall recognition accuracy reaches 90.0% under the optimal combination of the decomposition layer number K and penalty factor a in VMD determined through the envelope entropy minimization criterion. Classification comparisons with empirical mode decomposition (EMD), local mean decomposition (LMD) and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) integrated into the BP-AdaBoost algorithm indicate that the overall recognition accuracy of the proposed method is 18.1%, 16.9%, and 15.6% higher than the accuracies of the three conventional methods, respectively. Compared with the K-means, support vector machine (SVM) algorithms, BP-AdaBoost algorithm demonstrates a more dependable capability for identifying the working conditions. This study provides a useful reference for monitoring the working conditions of slideway seedling-picking mechanisms. Keywords: BP-AdaBoost algorithm, Energy entropy, Envelope entropy, Slideway seedling-picking mechanism, Variational mode decomposition, Working conditions.

Abstract The noise signal in the gyroscope is divided into four levels: sampling frequency level, device bandwidth frequency level, resonant frequency level, and carrier frequency level. In this paper, the signal in the dual-mass MEMS gyroscope is analyzed. Based on the variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm, a novel dual-mass MEMS gyroscope noise reduction method is proposed. The VMD method with different four-level center frequencies is used to process the original output signal of the MEMS gyroscope, and the results are analyzed by the Allan analysis of variance, which shows that the ARW of the gyroscope is increased from 1.998*10−1°/√h to 1.552*10−4°/√h, BS increased from 2.5261°/h to 0.0093°/h.

Operation feature extraction of flood discharge structures under ambient excitation has attracted increasing attention in recent years. However, the vibration signal of flood discharge structures is a nonstationary random signal with low signal-to-noise ratio, which is mixed with lots of low-frequency water flow noise and high-frequency white noise. It is difficult to excavate the hidden vibration characteristic information accurately. To solve the problem, we propose a novel denoising method called improved variational mode decomposition. As an improved method of variational mode decomposition, improved variational mode decomposition can effectively determine the decomposition mode number of variational mode decomposition by using the mutual information method. Furthermore, improved variational mode decomposition is combined with a variance dedication rate to extract the overall operation characteristic information of the structure. In order to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed improved variational mode decomposition–variance dedication rate method, we compare the denoising results of simulation signals produced by an improved variational mode decomposition–variance dedication rate with those produced by digital filter, wavelet threshold, empirical mode decomposition, empirical wavelet transform, complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise, and improved variational mode decomposition methods and find a better performance of the improved variational mode decomposition–variance dedication rate method. In addition, the proposed method is applied to the Three Gorges Dam, and the results show that the improved variational mode decomposition–variance dedication rate method can effectively remove heavy background noises and extract the operation characteristic information of the flood discharge structure, which contributes to health monitoring and damage identification of the flood discharge structure.
