The Relationship

Pulse palpation is an effective method for diagnosing arterial diseases. However, most pulse measurement devices use preconfigured pressures to collect pulse signals, and most pulse tactile simulators can only display standard or predefined pulse waveforms. Here, a portable interactive human pulse measurement and reproduction system was developed that allows users to take arbitrary pulses and experience realistic simulated pulse tactile feedback in real time by using their natural pulse-taking behaviors. The system includes a pulse tactile recorder and a pulse tactile player. Pulse palpation forces and vibrations can be recorded and realistically replayed for later tactile exploration and examination. To retain subtle but vital pulse information, empirical mode decomposition was used to decompose pulse waveforms into several intrinsic mode functions. Artificial neural networks were then trained based on intrinsic mode functions to determine the relationship between the driving signals of the pulse tactile player and the resulting vibration waveforms. Experimental results indicate that the average normalized root mean square error and the average R-squared values between the reproduced and original pulses were 0.0654 and 0.958 respectively, which indicate that the system can reproduce high-fidelity pulse tactile vibrations.

In this paper, a novel electrocardiogram (ECG) denoising method based on the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) is proposed by introducing a modified customized thresholding function. The basic principle of this method is to decompose the noisy ECG signal into a series of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) using the EEMD algorithm. Moreover, a modified customized thresholding function was adopted for reducing the noise from the ECG signal and preserve the QRS complexes. The denoised signal was reconstructed using all thresholded IMFs. Real ECG signals having different Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) levels were employed from the MIT-BIH database to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. For this purpose, output SNR (SNRout), Mean Square Error (MSE), and Percentage Root mean square Difference (PRD) parameters were used at different input SNRs (SNRin). The simulation results showed that the proposed method provided significant improvements over existing denoising methods.

Geomagnetic Anomaly

Non-contact geomagnetic anomaly detection, as one of passive non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, can be used to locate pipeline defects, while its accuracy is affected by random noise and detection orientation. In order to extract effective geomagnetic anomaly signals of pipeline defects, a method based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and magnetic gradient tensor was studied. In order to filter random noise, EMD was performed to self-adaptively decompose magnetic field signals into a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then Hurst exponent was implemented to exclude false modes; The calculation method of magnetic gradient tensor modulus (MGTM) was proposed to obtain precise defect locations according to tensor symmetry; Subsequently, the remote pipeline defect model was built based on the magnetic dipole theory, and the relationship between detection orientation and MGTM was discussed. The experimental results showed that the proposed method could realize high precision and reliable non-contact geomagnetic localization of pipeline defects.

Flux Leakage

The internal detector in a pipeline needs to use the ground marker to record the elapsed time for accurate positioning. Most existing ground markers use the magnetic flux leakage testing principle to detect whether the internal detector passes. However, this paper uses the method of detecting vibration signals to track and locate the internal detector. The Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) algorithm is used to extract features, which solves the defect of large noise and many disturbances of vibration signals. In this way, the detection range is expanded, and some non-magnetic flux leakage internal detectors can also be located. Firstly, the extracted vibration signals are denoised by the VMD algorithm, then kurtosis value and power value are extracted from the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) to form feature vectors, and finally the feature vectors are input into random forest and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) for classification. Experimental research shows that the method designed in this paper, which combines VMD with a machine learning classifier, can effectively use vibration signals to locate the internal detector and has the characteristics of high accuracy and good adaptability.

AbstractEpilepsy is a persistent neurological disorder impacting over 50 million people around the world. It is characterized by repeated seizures defined as brief episodes of involuntary movement that might entail the human body. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are usually used for the detection of epileptic seizures. This paper introduces a new feature extraction method for the classification of seizure and seizure-free EEG time segments. The proposed method relies on the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), statistics and autoregressive (AR) parameters. The EMD method decomposes an EEG time segment into a finite set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) from which statistical coefficients and autoregressive parameters are computed. Nevertheless, the calculated features could be of high dimension as the number of IMFs increases, the Student’s t-test and the Mann–Whitney U test were thus employed for features ranking in order to withdraw lower significant features. The obtained features have been used for the classification of seizure and seizure-free EEG signals by the application of a feed-forward multilayer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) classifier. Experimental results carried out on the EEG database provided by the University of Bonn, Germany, demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method which performance assessed by the classification accuracy (CA) is compared to other existing performances reported in the literature.

A novel multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis based on improved empirical mode decomposition for the non-linear and non-stationary vibration signal of machinery is proposed. As the intrinsic mode functions selection and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test are utilized in the detrending procedure, the present approach is quite available for contaminated data sets. The intrinsic mode functions selection is employed to deal with the undesired intrinsic mode functions named pseudocomponents, and the two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test works on each intrinsic mode function and Gaussian noise to detect the noise-like intrinsic mode functions. The proposed method is adaptive to the signal and weakens the effect of noise, which makes this approach work well for vibration signals collected from poor working conditions. We assess the performance of the proposed procedure through the classic multiplicative cascading process. For the pure simulation signal, our results agree with the theoretical results, and for the contaminated time series, the proposed method outperforms the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis methods. In addition, we analyze the vibration signals of rolling bearing with different fault types, and the presence of multifractality is confirmed.

Abstract In this study, we propose a method for detecting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on the features extracted from empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and the neural networks trained by particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the classification phase. After extracting the features from the intrinsic mode functions (IMF) of each heart rate variability (HRV) signal of each segment, these features were applied to the input of popular classifiers such as multi-layer perceptron neural networks (MLPNN), Naïve Bayes, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), k-nearest neighborhood (KNN), and support vector machines (SVM) were applied. The results show that the MLPNN learned with back propagation (BP) algorithm has a diagnostic accuracy of less than 90%, and this may be due to being derivative based property of the BP algorithm, which causes trapping in the local minima. For Improving MLPNN’s performance, we used the PSO algorithm instead of the BP method in training part. Therefore, the MLPNN’s accuracy improved from 89.36 to 97.66% after the application of the PSO algorithm. The proposed method has also reached to 97.78 and 97.96% in sensitivity and specificity, respectively. So, it can be concluded that the proposed method achieves better or comparable results when compared with the previous works in this field.

Abstract. In the last few years, wind power forecasting has established itself as an essential tool in the energy industry due to the increase of wind power penetration in the electric grid. This paper presents a wind power forecasting method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and deep learning. EEMD is employed to decompose wind power time series data into several intrinsic mode functions and a residual component. Afterwards, every intrinsic mode function is trained by means of a CNN-LSTM architecture. Finally, wind power forecast is obtained by adding the prediction of every component. Compared to the benchmark model, the proposed approach provides more accurate predictions for several time horizons. Furthermore, prediction intervals are modelled using quantile regression.

Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) can decompose signals into multiple intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). In recent years, VMD has been widely used in fault diagnosis. However, it requires a preset number of decomposition layers K and is sensitive to background noise. Therefore, in order to determine K adaptively, Permutation Entroy Optimization (PEO) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm can adaptively determine the optimal number of decomposition layers K according to the characteristics of the signal to be decomposed. At the same time, in order to solve the sensitivity of VMD to noise, this paper proposes a Modified VMD (MVMD) based on the idea of Noise Aided Data Analysis (NADA). The algorithm first adds the positive and negative white noise to the original signal, and then uses the VMD to decompose it. After repeated cycles, the noise in the original signal will be offset to each other. Then each layer of IMF is integrated with each layer, and the signal is reconstructed according to the results of the integrated mean. MVMD is used for the final decomposition of the reconstructed signal. The algorithm is used to deal with the simulation signals and measured signals of gearbox with multiple fault characteristics. Compared with the decomposition results of EEMD and VMD, it shows that the algorithm can not only improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the signal effectively, but can also extract the multiple fault features of the gear box in the strong noise environment. The effectiveness of this method is verified.
