Pipelines are one of the most efficient and economical methods of transporting fluids, such as oil, natural gas, and water. However, pipelines are often subject to leakage due to pipe corrosion, pipe aging, pipe weld defects, or damage by a third-party, resulting in huge economic losses and environmental degradation. Therefore, effective pipeline leak detection methods are important research issues to ensure pipeline integrity management and accident prevention. The conventional methods for pipeline leak detection generally need to extract the features of leak signal to establish a leak detection model. However, it is difficult to obtain actual leakage signal data samples in most applications. In addition, the operating modes of pipeline fluid transportation process often have frequent changes, such as regulating valves and pump operation. Aiming at these issues, this paper proposes a hybrid intelligent method that integrates kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and cascade support vector data description (Cas-SVDD) for pipeline leak detection with multiple operating modes, using data samples that are leak-free during pipeline operation. Firstly, the local mean decomposition method is used to denoise and reconstruct the measured signal to obtain the feature variables. Then, the feature dimension is reduced and the nonlinear principal component is extracted by the KPCA algorithm. Secondly, the K-means clustering algorithm is used to identify multiple operating modes and then obtain multiple support vector data description models to obtain the decision boundaries of the corresponding hyperspheres. Finally, pipeline leak is detected based on the Cas-SVDD method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect small leaks and improve leak detection accuracy.

Batch process generally has varying dynamic characteristic that causes low fault detection rate and high false alarm rate, and it is necessary and urgent to monitor batch process. This paper proposes a global enhanced multiple neighborhoods preserving embedding based fault detection strategy for dynamic batch process. Firstly, the angle neighbor is defined and selected to compensate for the insufficient expression for the spatial similarity of samples only by using the distance neighbor, and the time neighbor is introduced to describe the time correlations between samples. These three types of neighbors can fully characterize the similarity of the samples in time and space. Secondly, considering the minimum reconstruction error and the order information of three types of neighbors, an enhanced objective function is constructed to prevent the loss of order information when neighborhood preserving embedding (NPE) calculates the reconstruction weights. Furthermore, the enhanced objective function and a global objective function are organically combined to extract both global and local features, to describe process dynamics and visualize process data in a low-dimensional space. Finally, a monitoring index based on support vector data description is constructed to eliminate adverse effects of non-Gaussian data for monitoring performance. The advantages of the proposed method over principal component analysis, neighborhood preserving embedding, dynamic principal component analysis and time NPE are demonstrated by a numerical example and the penicillin fermentation process simulation.

In view of the nonlinear characteristics of electroencephalography (EEG) signals collected in the driving fatigue state recognition research and the issue that the recognition accuracy of the driving fatigue state recognition method based on EEG is still unsatisfactory, this paper proposes a driving fatigue recognition method based on sample entropy (SE) and kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), which combines the advantage of the high recognition accuracy of sample entropy and the advantages of KPCA in dimensionality reduction for nonlinear principal components and the strong non-linear processing capability. By using support vector machine (SVM) classifier, the proposed method (called SE_KPCA) is tested on the EEG data, and compared with those based on fuzzy entropy (FE), combination entropy (CE), three kinds of entropies including SE, FE and CE that merged with KPCA. Experiment results show that the method is effective.
