This paper proposes a model which uses the greedy algorithm to select the optimal intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), namely the greedy empirical mode decomposition (GEMD) model. The optimal IMFs can more sufficiently represent the characteristics of damage bearings since the proposed GEMD model effectively selects some IMFs not affected by noise. To validate the superiority of the proposed GEMD model, various damage types of motor bearings were shaped by electrical discharge machining (EDM) in this experiment. The measured motor current signals of various types were decomposed to IMFs by using EMD. Then the optimal IMFs can be obtained by using the proposed GEMD model. The results show that the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) spectrums when using the optimal IMFs become easier in the detection system than when using all IMFs. Simultaneously, the detection accuracy of motor bearing damages is increased by using the features extracted from the lower complexity HHT spectrum. The average detection accuracy can be also improved from 69.5% to 74.6% by using the features extracted from the GEMD-HHT spectrum even in a noise interference 10dB

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.

The analysis of nonlinear and nonstationary time series is still a challenge, as most classical time series analysis techniques are restricted to data that is, at least, stationary. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in combination with a Hilbert spectral transform, together called Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), alleviates this problem in a purely data-driven manner. EMD adaptively and locally decomposes such time series into a sum of oscillatory modes, called Intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and a nonstationary component called residuum. In this contribution, we propose an EMD-based method, called Sliding empirical mode decomposition (SEMD), which, with a reasonable computational effort, extends the application area of EMD to a true on-line analysis of time series comprising a huge amount of data if recorded with a high sampling rate. Using nonlinear and nonstationary toy data, we demonstrate the good performance of the proposed algorithm. We also show that the new method extracts component signals that fulfill all criteria of an IMF very well and that it exhibits excellent reconstruction quality. The method itself will be refined further by a weighted version, called weighted sliding empirical mode decomposition (wSEMD), which reduces the computational effort even more while preserving the reconstruction quality.

Empirical Mode Decomposition Method

Corrosion in pipeline is a significant problem in the oil industry and there is also much interest in reducing leak due to corrosion. Correlation techniques are widely used in leak detection, and these have been extremely effective when attempting to locate leaks in metal pipes. Acoustic emission is a new non-destructive pipeline inspection technology which can be used to monitor crucial part of pipelines and detect pipe corrosion or leak in real time. However, AE signals causing by corrosion and leak are liable to noise interference on field. Aiming at solving the noise interference problems and increase the detection sensitivity and location accuracy of the leak, advanced signal analysis method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition were researched. Empirical Mode Decomposition is a great breakthrough in non-stable signal analysis and it decomposes the signals into a sum of finite intrinsic mode functions (IMF), which have real physical meaning. In the experiment, the leak signals from a 30 m pipeline were decomposed into 9 intrinsic mode functions by EMD, among which some IMF components containing typical AE characteristic can be selected to reconstruct the signal, and thus intrinsic characteristic of leak signal could be extracted and noise interference would be eliminated. Location accuracy of the leaking hole calculated with the reconstructed signals based on EMD algorithm was increased 64%.

Local faults in a gearbox cause impacts and the collected vibration signal is often non-stationary. Identification of impulses within the non-stationary vibration signal is key to fault detection. Recently, the technique of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) was proposed as a new tool for analysis of non-stationary signal. EMD is a time series analysis method that extracts a custom set of bases that reflects the characteristic response of a system. The Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) within the original data can be obtained through EMD. We expect that the change in the amplitude of the special IMF’s envelope spectrum will become larger when fault impulses are present. Based on this idea, we propose a new fault detection method that combines EMD with Hilbert transform. The proposed method is compared with both the Hilbert-Huang transform and the wavelet transform using simulated signal and real signal collected from a gearbox. The results obtained show that the proposed method is effective in capturing the hidden fault impulses.

A new pitch detection method is designed by the recurrence analysis in this paper, which is combined of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Elliptic Filter (EF). The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) of Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) are utilized tosolve the problem, and a noisy voice is first filtered on the elliptic band filter. The two Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) are synthesized by EMD with maximum correlation of voice, and then the pitch be easily divided. The results show that the new method performance is better than the conventional autocorrelation algorithm and cepstrum method, especially in the part that the surd and the sonant are not evident, and get a high robustness in noisy environment.

Study Results

Information extraction from time series has traditionally been done with Fourier analysis, which use stationary sines and cosines as basis functions. However, data that come from most natural phenomena are mostly nonstationary. A totally adaptive alternative method has been developed called the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT), which involves generating basis functions called the intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) via the empirical mode decomposition (EMD). The EMD is a numerical procedure that is prone to numerical errors that may persist in the decomposition as extra IMFs. In this study, results of numerical experiments are presented, which would establish a stringent threshold by which relevant IMFs are distinguished from IMFs that may have been generated by numerical errors. The threshold is dependent on the correlation coefficient between the IMFs and the original signal. Finally, the threshold is applied to IMFs of earthquake signals from five accelerometers located in a building.

One of the most important problems in the design of earthquake resistance structures at sites with no strong ground motion data is the generation and simulation of earthquake records. In this paper, an effective method based on Hilbert–Huang transform for the simulation of earthquake time histories is presented. The Hilbert–Huang transform consists of the empirical mode decomposition and Hilbert spectral analysis. Earthquake time histories decompose via empirical mode decomposition to obtain the intrinsic mode functions of earthquake time history. Any of intrinsic mode functions is simulated based on the proposed method for simulation. The ground frequency function of the presented model is estimated using Hilbert spectral analysis for the simulation of earthquake accelerograms. The proposed method has been applied to three earthquake records to demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the approach. The obtained results of simulating method by comparison between pseudo-acceleration and pseudo-velocity response spectra of actual and the average of simulated time histories for these three earthquakes reveal that the simulated earthquake time histories well preserve the significant properties and the nonstationary characteristics of the actual earthquake records. The results indicated that there is a good accord between the response spectra of simulated and genuine time histories.

AbstractThis work presents a new automated system to detect circinate exudates in retina digital images. It operates as follows: the true color image is converted to gray levels, and contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) is applied to it before undergoing empirical mode decomposition (EMD) as intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The entropies and uniformities of the first two IMFs are then computed to form a feature vector that is fed to a support vector machine (SVM) for classification. The experimental results using a set of 45 images (23 normal images and 22 images with circinate exudates taken from the STARE database) and tenfold cross-validation indicate that the proposed approach outperforms previous works found in the literature, with perfect classification. In addition, the image processing time was <4 min, making the presented circinate exudate detection system fit for use in a clinical environment.

Emd Method

The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is the core of the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT). In HHT, the EMD is responsible for decomposing a signal into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) for calculating the instantaneous frequency and eventually the Hilbert spectrum. The EMD method as originally proposed, however, has an annoying mode mixing problem caused by the signal intermittency, making the physical interpretation of each IMF component unclear. To resolve this problem, the ensemble EMD (EEMD) was subsequently developed. Unlike the conventional EMD, the EEMD defines the true IMF components as the mean of an ensemble of trials, each consisting of the signal with added white noise of finite, not infinitesimal, amplitude. In this study, we further proposed an extension and alternative to EEMD designated as the noise-modulated EMD (NEMD). NEMD does not eliminate mode but intensify and amplify mixing by suppressing the small amplitude signal but the larger signals would be preserved without waveform deformation. Thus, NEMD may serve as a new adaptive threshold amplitude filtering. The principle, algorithm, simulations, and applications are presented in this paper. Some limitations and additional considerations of using the NEMD are also discussed.
