The radar penetrating technique has aroused a keen interest in the research community, due to its superior abilities for through-the-wall indoor human motion monitoring. Micro-Doppler signatures in this situation play a significant role in recognition and classification for human activities. However, the live wire buried in the wall introduces additive clutters to the spectrograms. Such degraded spectrograms drastically affect the performance of behind-the-wall human activity detection. In this paper, an ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system is utilized in the through-the-wall scenario to get the feature enhanced micro-Doppler signature called range-max time-frequency representation (R-max TFR). Then, a recently introduced Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Network (Cycle GAN) is employed to realize the end-to-end de-wiring task. Cycle GAN can learn the mapping between spectrograms with and without the live wire effect. To minimize the wiring clutters, a loss function called identity loss is introduced in this work. Finally, the proposed de-wiring approach is evaluated through classification. The results show that the proposed Cycle GAN architecture outperforms other state-of-art de-wiring methods.

In the field of target classification, detecting a ground moving target that is easily covered in clutter has been a challenge. In addition, traditional feature extraction techniques and classification methods usually rely on strong subjective factors and prior knowledge, which affect their generalization capacity. Most existing deep-learning-based methods suffer from insufficient feature learning due to the lack of data samples, which makes it difficult for the training process to converge to a steady-state. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN) sample enhancement method for ground moving target classification (GMT-WGAN). First, the micro-Doppler characteristics of ground moving targets are analyzed. Next, a WGAN is constructed to generate effective time–frequency images of ground moving targets and thereby enrich the sample database used to train the classification network. Then, image quality evaluation indexes are introduced to evaluate the generated spectrogram samples, with an aim to verify the distribution similarity of generated and real samples. Afterward, by feeding augmented samples to the deep convolutional neural networks with good generalization capacity, the classification performance of the GMT-WGAN is improved. Finally, experiments conducted on different datasets validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

Detecting bearing faults in advance is critical for mechanical and electrical systems to prevent economic loss and safety hazards. As part of the recent interest in artificial intelligence, deep learning (DL)-based principles have gained much attention in intelligent fault diagnostics and have mainly been developed in a supervised manner. While these works have shown promising results, several technical setbacks are inherent in a supervised learning setting. Data imbalance is a critical problem as faulty data is scarce in many cases, data labeling is tedious, and unseen cases of faults cannot be detected in a supervised framework. Herein, a generative adversarial network (GAN) is proposed to achieve unsupervised bearing fault diagnostics by utilizing only the normal data. The proposed method first adopts the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to convert the 1-D vibration signals into 2-D time-frequency representations to use as the input to our (DL) framework. Subsequently, a GAN-based latent mapping is constructed using only the normal data, and faulty signals are detected using an anomaly metric comprised of a discriminator error and an image reconstruction error. The performance of our method is verified using a classic rotating machinery dataset (Case Western Reserve bearing dataset), and the experimental results demonstrate that our method can not only detect the faults but can also cluster the faults in the latent space with high accuracy.

Aiming at the problem of radar target recognition of High-Resolution Range Profile (HRRP) under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, a recognition method based on the Constrained Naive Least-Squares Generative Adversarial Network (CN-LSGAN), Short-time Fourier Transform (STFT), and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is proposed. Combining the Least-Squares Generative Adversarial Network (LSGAN) with the Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP), the CN-LSGAN is presented and applied to the HRRP denoise. The frequency domain and phase features of HRRP are gained by STFT in order to facilitate feature learning and also match the input data format of the CNN. These experimental results show that the CN-LSGAN has better data augmentation performance and can effectively avoid the model collapse compared to the generative adversarial network (GAN) and LSGAN. Also, the method has better recognition performance than the one-dimensional CNN method and the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network method.

Fault Severity

Condition monitoring and diagnosis of a bearing are very important for any rotating machine as it governs the safety while the machine is in operating condition. To construct a feature vector selection of suitable signal processing techniques is a challenge for vibration-based condition monitoring techniques. In the methodology proposed, Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Walsh Hadamard Transform (WHT) and Variable Mode Decomposition (VMD) are used to generate 2-D time-frequency spectrograms from the various fault conditions of bearing. When Deep learning techniques apply for fault diagnosis, a large amount of dataset is required for training of machine learning model. To overcome this issue single image Generative Adversarial Network (SinGAN) as a data augmentation technique, utilized for generating additional 2-D time-frequency spectrograms from various fault conditions of ball bearing. To detect fault severity, four deep learning algorithms, ResNet 34, ResNet50, VGG16, and MobileNetV2 are used as a classifier. Experiments are conducted on a rolling bearing dataset provided by the bearing data center of Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) for validating the utility of methodology proposed. Results show that the proposed methodology enables to detect fault severity level with high classification accuracy.
