Borehole Radar (BHR) uses ultra-wideband electromagnetic (EM) waves to image discontinuities in formations. It has been a major bottleneck to extend BHR applications to obtain a clear and high-resolution radar profile in a complex and noisy environment, which increases ambiguity in the geology interpretation. To avoid this increased ambiguity in the geology interpretation, we proposed a scheme based on the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and complex signal analysis theory to process the BHR data with low signal to noise ratio (SNR). The scheme includes four steps. First, the original radar profile is pre-processed to avoid mode confusion and noise interference to the radar echo. Next, the EMD method is used to process a single-channel radar dataset and to analyze the frequency components of the radar signal. Various intrinsic modes of the pre-processing radar profile are also obtained by using EMD. Finally, we reconstruct the intrinsic mode profile, which contains information about the formation, calculate the complex signals of the reconstructed radar profile using the Hilbert transform, extract the three instantaneous attributes (instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, and instantaneous frequency), and draw the separate instantaneous attributes profiles. This processing scheme provides both the conventional time-distance profile also in addition to the three instantaneous attributes. The additional attributes reduce ambiguity when evaluating the original radar profile and avoid the deviation relying solely on a conventional time-distance profile. An actual radar profile, which was obtained by a BHR system in a limestone fracture zone, is used to verify the effectiveness of instantaneous attributes for improving interpretation accuracy. The results demonstrate that the EMD method is superior in processing the BHR signal under a low SNR and has the capability to separate the high-low components of the radar echo effectively.

Hilbert-Huang transform is widely used in signal analysis. However, due to its inadequacy in estimating both the maximum and the minimum values of the signals at both ends of the border, traditional HHT is easy to produce boundary error in empirical mode decomposition (EMD) process. To overcome this deficiency, this paper proposes an enhanced empirical mode decomposition algorithm for processing complex signal. Our work mainly focuses on two aspects. On one hand, we develop a technique to obtain the extreme points of observation interval boundary by introducing the linear extrapolation into EMD. This technique is simple but effective in suppressing the error-prone effects of decomposition. On the other hand, a novel envelope fitting method is proposed for processing complex signal, which employs a technique of nonuniform rational B-splines curve. This method can accurately measure the average value of instantaneous signal, which helps to achieve the accurate signal decomposition. Simulation experiments show that our proposed methods outperform their rivals in processing complex signals for time frequency analysis.

ABSTRACT. Seismic processing aims to provide an adequate image of the subsurface geology. During seismic processing, the filtering of signals considered noise is of utmost importance. Among these signals is the surface rolling noise, better known as ground-roll. Ground-roll occurs mainly in land seismic data, masking reflections, and this roll has the following main features: high amplitude, low frequency and low speed. The attenuation of this noise is generally performed through so-called conventional methods using 1-D or 2-D frequency filters in the fk domain. This study uses the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method for ground-roll attenuation. The EMD method was implemented in the programming language FORTRAN 90 and applied in the time and frequency domains. The application of this method to the processing of land seismic line 204-RL-247 in Tacutu Basin resulted in stacked seismic sections that were of similar or sometimes better quality compared with those obtained using the fk and high-pass filtering methods.Keywords: seismic processing, empirical mode decomposition, seismic data filtering, ground-roll. RESUMO. O processamento sísmico tem como principal objetivo fornecer uma imagem adequada da geologia da subsuperfície. Nas etapas do processamento sísmico a filtragem de sinais considerados como ruídos é de fundamental importância. Dentre esses ruídos encontramos o ruído de rolamento superficial, mais conhecido como ground-roll . O ground-roll ocorre principalmente em dados sísmicos terrestres, mascarando as reflexões e possui como principais características: alta amplitude, baixa frequência e baixa velocidade. A atenuação desse ruído é geralmente realizada através de métodos de filtragem ditos convencionais, que utilizam filtros de frequência 1D ou filtro 2D no domínio fk. Este trabalho utiliza o método de Decomposição em Modos Empíricos (DME) para a atenuação do ground-roll. O método DME foi implementado em linguagem de programação FORTRAN 90, e foi aplicado no domínio do tempo e da frequência. Sua aplicação no processamento da linha sísmica terrestre 204-RL-247 da Bacia do Tacutu gerou como resultados, seções sísmicas empilhadas de qualidade semelhante e por vezes melhor, quando comparadas as obtidas com os métodos de filtragem fk e passa-alta.Palavras-chave: processamento sísmico, decomposição em modos empíricos, filtragem dados sísmicos, atenuação do ground-roll.

The output-only modal analysis for bridge structures based on improved empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is investigated in this study. First, a bandwidth restricted EMD is proposed for decomposing nonstationary output measurements with close frequency components. The advantage of bandwidth restricted EMD to standard EMD is illustrated by a numerical simulation. Next, the modal parameters are extracted from intrinsic mode function obtained from the improved EMD by both random decrement technique and stochastic subspace identification. Finally, output-only modal analysis of a railway bridge is presented. The study demonstrates the mode mixing issues of standard EMD can be restrained by introducing bandwidth restricted signal. Further, with the improved EMD method, band-pass filter is no longer needed for separating the closely spaced frequency components. The modal parameters extracted based on the improved EMD method show good agreement with those extracted by conventional modal identification algorithms.

Using a combination of the pole placement and online empirical mode decomposition (EMD) methods, a new algorithm is proposed for adaptive active control of structural vibration. The EMD method is a time-frequency domain analysis method that can be used for nonstationary and nonlinear problems. Combining the EMD method and Hilbert transform, which is called Hilbert–Huang transform, achieves a method that can be implemented to extract instantaneous properties of signals such as structural response dominant instantaneous frequencies. In the proposed algorithm, these estimated instantaneous properties are utilized to improve the pole-placement method as an adaptive active control technique. The required active control gains are obtained using a genetic algorithm scheme, and optimal gains are calculated corresponding to preselected excitation frequencies. An algorithm is also introduced to choose excitation frequencies based on online EMD method resolution. In order to investigate the efficiency of the proposed method, some case studies that include a discrete model, continuous samples of beam and plate structures, and experimental cantilevered beam are carried out, and the results of the proposed method are compared with the preset (nonadaptive) optimal gains conditions.

Identification of aircraft flight dynamic modes has been implemented by adopting highly nonlinear flight test data. This paper presents a new algorithm for identification of the flight dynamic modes based on Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) due to its superior potential capabilities in nonlinear and nonstationary signal analysis. Empirical mode decomposition and ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) are the two common methods that apply the HHT transform for decomposition of the complex signals into instantaneous mode frequencies; however, experimentally, the EMD faces the problem of “mode mixing,” and EEMD faces with the signal precise reconstruction, which leads to imprecise results in the estimation of flight dynamic modes. In order to overcome (handle) this deficiency, an improved EEMD (IEEMD) algorithm for processing of the complex signals that originate from flight data record was introduced. This algorithm disturbing the original signal using white Gaussian noise, IEEMD, is capable of making a precise reconstruction of the original signal. The second improvement is that IEEMD performs signal decomposition with fewer number of iterations and less complexity order rather than EEMD. This algorithm has been applied to aircraft spin maneuvers flight test data. The results show that implication of IEEMD algorithm on the test data obtained more precise signal extractions with fewer iterations in comparison to EEMD method. The signal is reconstructed by summing the flight modes with more accuracy respect to the EEMD. The IEEMD requires a smaller ensemble size, which results in saving of a significant computational cost.

Food is one of the most important resources for staying alive. This paper analyzes grain output fluctuations and their driving forces in China from 1978 to 2014, based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method. These results show that there are two type cycles of cyclical fluctuation, one is 3-yearterm, and another is 8-year term. These results show that the 8-year cyclical fluctuation is the major term. Grain production’s cyclical fluctuation in 3 years was mainly influenced by yield of grain per unit area from 1978-2004 and 2007-2014, and by the area sown from 2004 to 2007. On the other hand, the longer cyclical fluctuation of 8 years is mainly affected by the yield of grain per unit area. The grain output is predicted for the next three years through the RBF neural network optimized by PSO. These results show that China’s annul grain output in the next three years will be stabilized at about 600 million tons, which may grow slowly though.

ABSTRACTEmpirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and its approaches are powerful techniques in signal processing especially for the diagnosis of rotating machinery running in non-stationary regime. We are interested in this paper to the dynamic behavior of a defected one stage gearbox equipped with an elastic coupling and loaded under acyclism regime generated by a combustion engine. Actually, we adopt an approach to the EMD method called Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) as a technique to perform the diagnosis of the studied system. Since the obtained signals are modulated, all obtained Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) are modulated and are processed and shown by the Wigner-Ville distributions (WVD) as well as the spectrum of their envelope in order to detect defects such as cracked tooth defect in the wheel of the spur gearbox and eccentricity defect in the gear.
