Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

A novel approach of edge detection is proposed that utilizes a bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) method as the primary tool. For this purpose, a recently developed fast and adaptive BEMD (FABEMD) is used to decompose the given image into several bidimensional intrinsic mode functions (BIMFs). In FABEMD, order statistics filters (OSFs) are employed to get the upper and lower envelopes in the decomposition process, instead of surface interpolation, which enables fast decomposition and well-characterized BIMFs. Binarization and morphological operations are applied to the first BIMF obtained from FABEMD to achieve the desired edges. The proposed approach is compared with several other edge detection methodologies, which include a combination of classical BEMD and morphological processing, the Canny and Sobel edge detectors, as well as combinations of BEMD/FABEMD and Canny/Sobel edge detectors. Simulation results with real images demonstrate the efficacy and potential of the proposed edge detection algorithm employing FABEMD.

Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

A Robert operator edge detection algorithm based on Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition (BEMD) to detect medical liquid opacity is proposed. This method can effectively resolve the problem that traditional Robert operator edge detection can be easily effected by noise, and it also has certain effects on restraining external environment influence. The simulation results show that, compare with traditional medical liquid opacity detection methods, the proposed method could achieve higher detection accuracy, and has a certain theory and application value.

Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

Abstract It is important to recognize the type of cloud for automatic observation by ground nephoscope. Although cloud shapes are protean, cloud textures are relatively stable and contain rich information. In this paper, a novel method is presented to extract the nephogram feature from the Hilbert spectrum of cloud images using bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD). Cloud images are first decomposed into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of textural features through BEMD. The IMFs are converted from two- to one-dimensional format, and then the Hilbert–Huang transform is performed to obtain the Hilbert spectrum and the Hilbert marginal spectrum. It is shown that the Hilbert spectrum and the Hilbert marginal spectrum of different types of cloud textural images can be divided into three different frequency bands. A recognition rate of 87.5%–96.97% is achieved through random cloud image testing using this algorithm, indicating the efficiency of the proposed method for cloud nephogram.

Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

In order to suppress the multiplicative specular noise in side-scan sonar images, a denoising method combining bidimensional empirical mode decomposition and non-local means algorithm is proposed. First, the sonar image is decomposed into intrinsic mode functions(IMF) and residual component, then the high frequency IMF is denoised by non-local mean filtering method, and finally the processed intrinsic mode functions and residual component are reconstructed to obtain the de-noised side-scan sonar image. The paper’s method is compared with the conventional filtering algorithm for experimental quantitative analysis. The results show that this method can suppress the sonar image noise and retain the detailed information of the image, which is beneficial to the later image processing.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Denoising is a key pre-processing step for many airborne LiDAR point cloud applications. However, the previous algorithms have a number of problems, which affect the quality of point cloud post-processing, such as DTM generation. In this paper, a novel automated denoising algorithm is proposed based on empirical mode decomposition to remove outliers from airborne LiDAR point cloud. Comparing with traditional point cloud denoising algorithms, the proposed method can detect outliers from a signal processing perspective. Firstly, airborne LiDAR point clouds are decomposed into a series of intrinsic mode functions with the help of morphological operations, which would significantly decrease the computational complexity. By applying OTSU algorithm to these intrinsic mode functions, noise-dominant components can be detected and filtered. Finally, outliers are detected automatically by comparing observed elevations and reconstructed elevations. Three datasets located at three different cities in China were used to verify the validity and robustness of the proposed method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method removes both high and low outliers effectively with various terrain features while preserving useful ground details.</p>

Mode Decomposition

Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a technique that converts the measured signal into a number of basic functions known as intrinsic mode functions. The EMD-based damage detection algorithm relies on the principle that a sudden loss of stiffness in a structural member will cause a discontinuity in the measured response that can be detected through a distinctive spike in the filtered intrinsic mode function. Recent studies have shown that applying EMD to the acceleration response, due to the crossing of a constant load over a beam finite element model, can be used to detect a single damaged location. In this paper, the technique is further tested using the response of a discretized finite element beam with multiple damaged sections modeled as localized losses of stiffness. The ability of the algorithm to detect more than one damaged section is analysed for a variety of scenarios including a range of bridge lengths, speeds of the moving load and noise levels. The use of a moving average filter on the acceleration response, prior to applying EMD, is shown to improve the sensitivity to damage. The influence of the number of measurement points and their distance to the damaged sections on the accuracy of the predicted damage is also discussed.

Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

A target recognition method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image based on complex bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (C-BEMD) is proposed. C-BEMD is used to decompose the original SAR image to obtain multilevel complex bidimensional intrinsic mode functions (BIMF), which reflect the two-dimensional time-frequency characteristics of the target. In the classification stage, the decomposed multilevel BIMFs are represented using the multitask sparse representation. Finally, the target category of the test sample is determined according to the reconstruction errors related to different training classes. In the experiment, the standard operating condition (SOC) and extended operating conditions (EOC) are designed based on the MSTAR dataset to test and verify the proposed method. The results confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the method.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a cardiovascular disease related to autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction and fragmented patterns. There is a growing demand for assessing CHF accurately. In this work, 24-h RR interval signals (the time elapsed between two successive R waves of the QRS signal on the electrocardiogram) of 98 subjects (54 healthy and 44 CHF subjects) were analyzed. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was chosen to decompose RR interval signals into four intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Then transfer entropy (TE) was employed to study the information transaction among four IMFs. Compared with the normal group, significant decrease in TE (*→1; information transferring from other IMFs to IMF1, p < 0.001) and TE (3→*; information transferring from IMF3 to other IMFs, p < 0.05) was observed. Moreover, the combination of TE (*→1), TE (3→*) and LF/HF reached the highest CHF screening accuracy (85.7%) in IBM SPSS Statistics discriminant analysis, while LF/HF only achieved 79.6%. This novel method and indices could serve as a new way to assessing CHF and studying the interaction of the physiological phenomena. Simulation examples and transfer entropy applications are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed EMD decomposition method in assessing CHF.
