Weight is an important indicator of the growth and development of dairy cows. The traditional static weighing methods require considerable human and financial resources, and the existing dynamic weighing algorithms do not consider the influence of the cow motion state on the weight curve. In this paper, a dynamic weighing algorithm for cows based on a support vector machine (SVM) and empirical wavelet transform (EWT) is proposed for classification and analysis. First, the dynamic weight curve is obtained by using a weighing device placed along a cow travel corridor. Next, the data are preprocessed through valid signal acquisition, feature extraction, and normalization, and the results are divided into three active degrees during motion for low, medium, and high grade using the SVM algorithm. Finally, a mean filtering algorithm, the EWT algorithm, and a combined periodic continuation-EWT algorithm are used to obtain the dynamic weight values. Weight data were collected for 910 cows, and the experimental results displayed a classification accuracy of 98.6928%. The three algorithms were used to calculate the dynamic weight values for comparison with real values, and the average error rates were 0.1838%, 0.6724%, and 0.9462%. This method can be widely used at farms and expand the current knowledgebase regarding the dynamic weighing of cows.

Fault diagnosis of wind turbines is of great importance to reduce operating and maintenance costs of wind farms. At present, most wind turbine fault diagnosis methods are focused on single faults, and the methods for combined faults usually depend on inefficient manual analysis. Filling the gap, this paper proposes a low-pass filtering empirical wavelet transform (LPFEWT) machine learning based fault diagnosis method for combined fault of wind turbines, which can identify the fault type of wind turbines simply and efficiently without human experience and with low computation costs. In this method, low-pass filtering empirical wavelet transform is proposed to extract fault features from vibration signals, LPFEWT energies are selected to be the inputs of the fault diagnosis model, a grey wolf optimizer hyperparameter tuned support vector machine (SVM) is employed for fault diagnosis. The method is verified on a wind turbine test rig that can simulate shaft misalignment and broken gear tooth faulty conditions. Compared with other models, the proposed model has superiority for this classification problem.

In this study, DNA microarray data is analyzed from a signal processing perspective for cancer classification. An adaptive wavelet transform named Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) is analyzed using block-by-block procedure to characterize microarray data. The EWT wavelet basis depends on the input data rather predetermined like in conventional wavelets. Thus, EWT gives more sparse representations than wavelets. The characterization of microarray data is made by block-by-block procedure with predefined block sizes in powers of 2 that starts from 128 to 2048. After characterization, a statistical hypothesis test is employed to select the informative EWT coefficients. Only the selected coefficients are used for Microarray Data Classification (MDC) by the Support Vector Machine (SVM). Computational experiments are employed on five microarray datasets; colon, breast, leukemia, CNS and ovarian to test the developed cancer classification system. The obtained results demonstrate that EWT coefficients with SVM emerged as an effective approach with no misclassification for MDC system.

Gear pump is the key component in hydraulic drive system, and it is very significant to fault diagnosis for gear pump. The combination of sparsity empirical wavelet transform and adaptive dynamic least squares support vector machine is proposed for fault diagnosis of gear pump in this article. Sparsity empirical wavelet transform is used to obtain the features of the vibrational signal of gear pump, the sparsity function is potential to make empirical wavelet transform adaptive, and adaptive dynamic least squares support vector machine is used to recognize the state of gear pump. The experimental results show that the diagnosis accuracies of sparsity empirical wavelet transform and adaptive dynamic least squares support vector machine are better than those of the empirical wavelet transform and adaptive dynamic least squares support vector machine method or the empirical wavelet transform and least squares support vector machine method.

With the growth of nonlinear electrical equipment, power quality disturbances (PQDs) often appear in electrical systems. To solve this, a practical heuristic methodology for PQD detection and classification based on empirical wavelet transform has been proposed. By using a multiresolution analysis tool, empirical wavelet transform, the voltage waveform signal is decomposed into several sub-signals, and some potential features are extracted in the statistical method. To reduce the feature vector dimensions, the ReliefF algorithm is used for feature selection and optimized for dimensionality reduction, which reduces the complexity of system calculation while ensuring accuracy. Finally, a classifier based on support vector machines (SVM) was built, and with the ranked feature vectors’ input, the PQD can be recognized. The experimental results verify that the classification results achieved high accuracy, which confirms the properties and robustness of the proposed approach in noisy environments.

In this study, an efficient Decision Support System (DSS) is presented to classify coronary artery disease using Intra-Vascular Ultra Sound (IVUS) images. IVUS images are commonly used to diagnose coronary artery diseases. Wavelet transform is a multiresolution texture analysis tool which is applied to various image analysis and classification systems. Unlike the wavelet transform, Empirical Wavelet Transform (EWT) is a dependent decomposition approach that provides superior temporal and frequency information. Hence, EWT is considered as a feature extraction approach in this study. Before extracting EWT features, an adaptive non-linear speckle reducing filter; Lee filter is used to remove the IVUS images’ noises. The accumulated energies of EWT sub-bands are computed and fed to four Support Vector Machine (SVM) for coronary plague classification into five different classes; normal, calcium, fibrous, necrotic (thrombus) and soft plague (fibro-fatty). A total number of 400 IVUS images and their corresponding labeling are obtained from Shifa hospitals, Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu, India. Results prove that the classification of coronary plague is done with higher accuracy by using the EWT-SVM approach.

AbstractArterial blood pressure (ABP) waveforms provide plenty of pathophysiological information about the cardiovascular system. ABP pulse analysis is a routine process used to investigate the health status of the cardiovascular system. ABP pulses correspond to the contraction and relaxation phenomena of the human heart. The contracting or pumping phase of the cardiac chamber corresponds to systolic pressure, whereas the resting or filling phase of the cardiac chamber corresponds to diastolic pressure. An ABP waveform commonly comprises systolic peak, diastolic onset, dicrotic notch, and dicrotic peak. Automatic ABP delineation is extremely important for various biomedical applications. In this paper, a delineator for onset and systolic peak detection in ABP signals is presented. The algorithm uses a recently developed empirical wavelet transform (EWT) for the delineation of arterial blood pulses. EWT is a new mathematical tool used to decompose a given signal into different modes and is based on the design of an adaptive wavelet filter bank. The performance of the proposed delineator is evaluated and validated over ABP waveforms of standard databases, such as the MIT-BIH Polysomnoghaphic Database, Fantasia Database, and Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care Database. In terms of pulse onset detection, the proposed delineator achieved an average error rate of 0.11%, sensitivity of 99.95%, and positive predictivity of 99.92%. In a similar manner for systolic peak detection, the proposed delineator achieved an average error rate of 0.10%, sensitivity of 99.96%, and positive predictivity of 99.92%.
