The acoustic emission (AE) signal collected by a sensor in the welding process has an overlapping frequency band and weak characteristics under a complex noise background. It is difficult for the wavelet noise reduction method, with single basis function, to effectively match the different characteristic information of the welding crack AE signal. Taking into account the adaptive decomposition characteristics of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), a novel wavelet packet noise reduction method for welding AE signal was proposed. The welding AE signal was adaptively decomposed into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) by the EMD. The effective IMFs were selected by the frequency distribution characteristics of the welding crack AE signal. A wavelet packet, with a specific basis function, was subsequently performed on the effective IMFs, which were reconstructed to be the welding crack AE signal. The simulated and experimental results indicated that the proposed method can effectively achieve noise reduction of the welding crack AE signal, which provided a mean for structure crack detection in the welding process.

The variational model decomposition (VMD) has a problem that is dificult to determine the number of intrinsic mode functions (IMF).We use the leaked energy to determine the number of IMFs. And we use the energy concentration rate of the IMF?s autocorrelation function and the correlation coefficient between the IMFs and the original signal, define Q as the ratio of the energy concentration and the correlation coefficient, and use Q to determine the noise IMFs in the IMFs. Then, we filter the noise IMFs and use the remaining IMFs to reconstruct signal to achieve noise reduction. Finally, we use the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) to compare the noise reduction method proposed in this paper and the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) noise reduction method.

This paper presents a random noise reduction method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and wavelet threshold filtering. Firstly, we have conducted spectrum analysis and analyzed the frequency band range of effective signals and noise. Secondly, we make use of EEMD method on seismic signals to obtain intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of each trace. Then, wavelet threshold noise reduction method is used on the high frequency IMFs of each trace to obtain new high frequency IMFs. Finally, reconstruct the desired signal by adding the new high frequency IMFs on the low frequency IMFs and the trend item together. When applying our method on synthetic seismic record and field data we can get good results.

Ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) has been recently used to recover a signal from observed noisy data. Typically this is performed by partial reconstruction or thresholding operation. In this paper we describe an efficient noise reduction method. EEMD is used to decompose a signal into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The time intervals between two adjacent zero-crossings within the IMF, called instantaneous half period (IHP), are used as a criterion to detect and classify the noise oscillations. The undesirable waveforms with a larger IHP are set to zero. Furthermore, the optimum threshold in this approach can be derived from the signal itself using the consecutive mean square error (CMSE). The method is fully data driven, and it requires no prior knowledge of the target signals. This method can be verified with the simulative program by using Matlab. The denoising results are proper. In comparison with other EEMD based methods, it is concluded that the means adopted in this paper is suitable to preprocess the stress wave signals in the wood nondestructive testing.

In this paper, the new method for OCT images denoizing based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is proposed. The noise reduction is a very important process for following operations to analyze and recognition of tissue structure. Our method does not require any additional operations and hardware modifications. The basics of proposed method is described. Quality improvement of noise suppression on example of edge-detection procedure using the classical Canny's algorithm without any additional pre- and post-processing operations is demonstrated. Improvement of raw-segmentation in the automatic diagnostic process between a tissue and a mesh implant is shown.

Despite the increased attention that has been given to the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based magnetic survey systems in the past decade, the processing of UAV magnetic data is still a tough task. In this paper, we propose a novel noise reduction method of UAV magnetic data based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN), permutation entropy (PE), correlation coefficient and wavelet threshold denoising. The original signal is first decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) by CEEMDAN, and the PE of each IMF is calculated. Second, IMFs are divided into four categories according to the quartiles of PE, namely, noise IMFs, noise-dominant IMFs, signal-dominant IMFs, and signal IMFs. Then the noise IMFs are removed, and correlation coefficients are used to identify the real signal-dominant IMFs. Finally, the wavelet threshold denoising is applied to the real signal-dominant IMFs, the denoised signal can be obtained by combining the signal IMFs and the denoised IMFs. Both synthetic and field experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method can eliminate the interference to a great extent, which lays a foundation for the further interpretation of UAV magnetic data.

Abstract We have proposed a new denoising method for the simultaneous noise reduction and preservation of seismic signals based on variational mode decomposition (VMD). VMD is a recently developed adaptive signal decomposition method and an advance in non-stationary signal analysis. It solves the mode-mixing and non-optimal reconstruction performance problems of empirical mode decomposition that have existed for a long time. By using VMD, a multi-component signal can be non-recursively decomposed into a series of quasi-orthogonal intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), each of which has a relatively local frequency range. Meanwhile, the signal will focus on a smaller number of obtained IMFs after decomposition, and thus the denoised result is able to be obtained by reconstructing these signal-dominant IMFs. Synthetic examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and comparison is made with the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition, which demonstrates that the VMD algorithm has lower computational cost and better random noise elimination performance. The application of on field seismic data further illustrates the superior performance of our method in both random noise attenuation and the recovery of seismic events.

In light of the complex and non-stationary characteristics of misalignment vibration signal, this paper proposed a novel method to analyze in time-frequency domain under different working conditions. Firstly, decompose raw misalignment signal into different frequency bands by wavelet packet (WP) and reconstruct it in accordance with the band energy to remove noises. Secondly, employ empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to the reconstructed signal to obtain a certain number of stationary intrinsic mode functions (IMF). Finally, apply further spectrum analysis on the interested IMFs. In this way, weak signal is caught and dominant frequency is picked up for the diagnosis of misalignment fault. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to detect misalignment fault characteristic frequency effectively.

Side-channel attacks on cryptographic chips in embedded systems have been attracting considerable interest from the field of information security in recent years. Many research studies have contributed to improve the side-channel attack efficiency, in which most of the works assume the noise of the encryption signal has a linear stable Gaussian distribution. However, their performances of noise reduction were moderate. Thus, in this paper, we describe a highly effective data-preprocessing technique for noise reduction based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and demonstrate its application for a side-channel attack. EMD is a time-frequency analysis method for nonlinear unstable signal processing, which requires no prior knowledge about the cryptographic chip. During the procedure of data preprocessing, the collected traces will be self-adaptably decomposed into sum of several intrinsic mode functions (IMF) based on their own characteristics. And then, meaningful IMF will be reorganized to reduce its noise and increase the efficiency of key recovering through correlation power analysis attack. This technique decreases the total number of traces for key recovering by 17.7%, compared to traditional attack methods, which is verified by attack efficiency analysis of the SM4 block cipher algorithm on the FPGA power consumption analysis platform.
