Periodic narrowband signals and white noise are the main interferences in online detection and localization of cable partial discharge (PD), however, existing research has always focused on the white noise suppression only, which is not in line with the actual scene. A novel de-noising method for effectively extracting random PD pulse from complex and strong interferences is proposed in this paper and applied to PD localization. Firstly, an improved adaptive variational mode decomposition (AVMD) is used to decompose periodic narrowband interference, white noise, and PD signal into different intrinsic mode. According to the characteristic that the power of intrinsic mode component of periodic narrowband interference in the discrete Fourier transformation (DFT) power spectrum is much larger than that of PD and white noise, the periodic narrowband is removed out. In order to effectively filter out white noise, a scale adaptive wavelet packet decomposition method based on correlation coefficient is proposed, which decomposes the signal into high, middle, and low-frequency components. The components with low frequency, small amplitude are removed out as the white noise interference according to the threshold method, and the residual is the de-noising PD signal. Experimental results show that the proposed method can robustly suppress the interference of periodic narrowband signal and white noise, and effectively preserve the essential characteristics of the real PD signal. In the multi-sensor travelling wave based localization system of cable PD source using time-varying kurtosis, accurate estimation of first arrival time of PD pulse can be achieved by the de-noising results.

Partial discharge detection is an important means of insulation diagnosis of electrical equipment. To effectively suppress the periodic narrowband and white noise interferences in the process of partial discharge detection, a partial discharge interference suppression method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and improved empirical mode decomposition (IEMD) is proposed in this paper. First, the partial discharge signal with periodic narrowband interference and white noise interference x(t) is decomposed by SVD. According to the distribution characteristics of single values of periodic narrowband interference signals, the singular value corresponding to periodic narrowband interference is set to zero, and the signal is reconstructed to eliminate the periodic narrowband interference in x(t). IEMD is then performed on x(t). Intrinsic mode function (IMF) is obtained by EMD, and based on the improved 3σ criterion, the obtained IMF components are statistically processed and reconstructed to suppress the influence of white noise interference. The methods proposed in this paper, SVD and SVD + EMD, are applied to process the partial discharge simulation signal and partial discharge measurement signal, respectively. We calculated the signal-to-noise ratio, normalized correlation coefficient, and mean square error of the three methods, respectively, and the results show that the proposed method suppresses the periodic narrowband and white noise interference signals in partial discharge more effectively than the other two methods.

Seismic noise attenuation is an important step in seismic data processing. Most noise attenuation algorithms are based on the analysis of time-frequency characteristics of the seismic data and noise. We have aimed to attenuate white noise of seismic data using the convolutional neural network (CNN). Traditional CNN-based noise attenuation algorithms need prior information (the “clean” seismic data or the noise contained in the seismic) in the training process. However, it is difficult to obtain such prior information in practice. We assume that the white noise contained in the seismic data can be simulated by a sufficient number of user-generated white noise realizations. We then attenuate the seismic white noise using the modified denoising CNN (MDnCNN). The MDnCNN does not need prior clean seismic data nor pure noise in the training procedure. To accurately and efficiently learn the features of seismic data and band-limited noise at different frequency bandwidths, we first decomposed the seismic data into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using variational mode decomposition and then apply our denoising process to the IMFs. We use synthetic and field data examples to illustrate the robustness and superiority of our method over the traditional methods. The experiments demonstrate that our method can not only attenuate most of the white noise but it also rejects the migration artifacts.

While both periodic narrowband noise and white noise are significant sources of interference in the detection and localization of partial discharge (PD) signals in power cables, existing research has focused nearly exclusively on white noise suppression. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a new signal extraction method for effectively detecting random PD signals in power cables subject to complex noise environments involving both white noise and periodic narrowband noise. Firstly, the power cable signal was decomposed using complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN), and the periodic narrowband noise and frequency aliasing in the obtained signal components were suppressed using singular value decomposition. Then, signal components contributing significantly to the PD signal were determined according to the cross-correlation coefficient between each component and the original PD signal, and the PD signal was reconstructed solely from the obtained significant components. Finally, the wavelet packet threshold method was used to filter out residual white noise in the reconstructed PD signal. The performance of the proposed algorithm was demonstrated by its application to synthesized PD signals with complex noise environments composed of both Gaussian white noise and periodic narrowband noise. In addition, the time-varying kurtosis method was demonstrated to accurately determine the PD signal arrival time when applied to PD signals extracted by the proposed method from synthesized signals in complex noise environments with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values as low as −6 dB. When the SNR was reduced to −23 dB, the arrival time error of the PD signal was only one sampling point.

This paper presents a new approach for denoising Partial Discharge (PD) signals using a hybrid algorithm combining the adaptive decomposition technique with Entropy measures and Group-Sparse Total Variation (GSTV). Initially, the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) technique is applied to decompose a noisy sensor data into the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), Mutual Information (MI) analysis between IMFs is carried out to set the mode length K. Then, the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) technique decomposes a noisy sensor data into K number of Band Limited IMFs (BLIMFs). The BLIMFs are separated as noise, noise-dominant, and signal-dominant BLIMFs by calculating the MI between BLIMFs. Eventually, the noise BLIMFs are discarded from further processing, noise-dominant BLIMFs are denoised using GSTV, and the signal BLIMFs are added to reconstruct the output signal. The regularization parameter λ for GSTV is automatically selected based on the values of Dispersion Entropy of the noise-dominant BLIMFs. The effectiveness of the proposed denoising method is evaluated in terms of performance metrics such as Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Root Mean Square Error, and Correlation Coefficient, which are are compared to EMD variants, and the results demonstrated that the proposed approach is able to effectively denoise the synthetic Blocks, Bumps, Doppler, Heavy Sine, PD pulses and real PD signals.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a kind of biological signal that records muscle activity noninvasively, which is of great significance in advanced human-computer interaction, prosthetic control, clinical therapy, and biomechanics. However, the number of hand gestures that can be recognized is limited and the recognition accuracy needs to be further improved. These factors lead to the fact that sEMG products are not widely used in practice. The main contributions of this paper are as follows. Firstly, considering the increasing number of gestures to be recognized and the complexity of gestures, an extensible two-stage machine learning lightweight framework was innovatively proposed for multi-gesture task recognition. Secondly, the multivariate variational mode decomposition (MVMD) is applied to extract the spatial–temporal features from the multiple channels to the EMG signals, and the separable convolutional neural network is used for modelling. In this work, the experimental results for 52 hand gestures recognition task show that the average accuracy on each stage is about 90%. The potential movement information is mainly contained in the low-frequency oscillator of the sEMG signal, and the model performs better with the low-frequency oscillation from the MVMD algorithm on the second stage classification than that of other decomposition methods.

Vocal Signals

In Speech Enhancement (SE) techniques, the major challenging task is to suppress non-stationary noises including white noise in real-time application scenarios. Many techniques have been developed for enhancing the vocal signals; however, those were not effective for suppressing non-stationary noises very well. Also, those have high time and resource consumption. As a result, Sliding Window Empirical Mode Decomposition and Hurst (SWEMDH)-based SE method where the speech signal was decomposed into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) based on the sliding window and the noise factor in each IMF was chosen based on the Hurst exponent data. Also, the least corrupted IMFs were utilized to restore the vocal signal. However, this technique was not suitable for white noise scenarios. Therefore in this paper, a Variant of Variational Mode Decomposition (VVMD) with SWEMDH technique is proposed to reduce the complexity in real-time applications. The key objective of this proposed SWEMD-VVMDH technique is to decide the IMFs based on Hurst exponent and then apply the VVMD technique to suppress both low- and high-frequency noisy factors from the vocal signals. Originally, the noisy vocal signal is decomposed into many IMFs using SWEMDH technique. Then, Hurst exponent is computed to decide the IMFs with low-frequency noisy factors and Narrow-Band Components (NBC) is computed to decide the IMFs with high-frequency noisy factors. Moreover, VVMD is applied on the addition of all chosen IMF to remove both low- and high-frequency noisy factors. Thus, the speech signal quality is improved under non-stationary noises including additive white Gaussian noise. Finally, the experimental outcomes demonstrate the significant speech signal improvement under both non-stationary and white noise surroundings.

Abstract Noise suppression and effective signal recovery are very important for seismic signal processing. The random noise in desert areas has complex characteristics due to the complex geographical environment; noise characteristics such as non-stationary, non-linear and low frequency. These make it difficult for conventional denoising methods to remove random noise in desert seismic records. To address the problem, this paper proposes a two-dimensional compact variational mode decomposition (2D-CVMD) algorithm for desert seismic noise attenuation. This model decomposes the complex desert seismic data into an finite number of intrinsic mode functions with specific directions and vibration characteristics. The algorithm introduces binary support functions, which can detect the edge region of the signal in each mode by penalizing the support function through the L1 and total variation (TV) norm. Finally, the signal can be reconstructed by the support functions and the decomposed modes. We apply the 2D-CVMD algorithm to synthetic and real seismic data. The results show that the 2D-CVMD algorithm can not only suppress desert low-frequency noise, but also recover the weak effective signal.

Discharge Structure

Extraction of the vibration characteristics of a flood discharge structure under the influence of intensive background noise is one of the main challenges in vibration-based damage identification. A novel algorithm called normalized central frequency difference spectrum is proposed to improve the variational mode decomposition algorithm for high-frequency noise filtering. To eliminate the errors caused by end effect, the waveform matching extension algorithm is used to further improve the variational mode decomposition. However, the vibration signal is still coupled in low-frequency noise. Thereupon, the singular spectrum analysis algorithm is applied to filter the low-frequency noise. In this article, a simulated signal and the measured signals from a dam model are analyzed by the proposed algorithm. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is robust to noise and has high denoising precision. In addition, this algorithm can offer clues for damage identification and localization of a flood discharge structure.
