Speech endpoint detection plays an important role in speech signal processing. In this paper, a method of speech endpoint detection based on empirical mode decomposition is introduced for accurately detecting the speech endpoint. This method used in speech signal decomposition gets a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMF). An IMF which contained a lot of noise must be filtered, and the rest of IMFs can be reconstructed to a new speech signal. The speech endpoint is detected by average magnitude difference function precisely. Simulation experiments show that the method proposed in this paper can eliminate the impact of noise effectively and detect the speech signal endpoint accurately.

Speech endpoint detection is one of the key problems in the practical application of speech recognition system. In this paper, speech signal contained chirp is decomposed into several intrinsic mode function (IMF) with the method of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD). At the same time, it eliminates the modal mix superposition phenomenon which usually comes out in processing speech signal with the algorithm of empirical mode decomposition (EMD). After that, selects IMFs contained major noise through the adaptive algorithm. Finally, the IMFs and speech signal contained chirp are input into the independent component analysis (ICA) and pure voice signal is separated out. The accuracy of speech endpoint detection can be improved in this way. The result shows that the new speech endpoint detection method proposed above is effective, and has strong anti-noises ability, especially suitable for the speech endpoint detection in low SNR.

In the previous work, the cyclostationarity process, which is one of signal processing methods, has been used in health monitoring of the rotating machinery because of the superior detecting property of hidden periodicity. However, it is often difficult to acquire the information about the hidden periodicity due to the fault of the rotating machinery when the impact signal is low. Therefore, a certain preprocessing tool to extract the information about the impact signal due to the fault is required. This article presents the new detection process of tooth faults in a gearbox system based on the empirical mode decomposition algorithm which adaptively decomposes the signal into a set of intrinsic mode functions and the cyclostationarity process which identifies the hidden periodicity clearly in bi-frequency domain. The proposed method was demonstrated with a simulated signal and was applied to the detection of four types of conditions of tooth fault successfully.

Accurate endpoint detection is crucial for speech recognition accuracy. A novel approach that finds robust features for endpoint detection based on the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm and spectral entropy in a noisy environment is proposed. With the EMD, the noise signals can be decomposed into different numbers of sub-signals called intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), which is a zero-mean AM-FM component. Then spectral entropy can be used to extract the desired feature for IMF components. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we present examples showing that the new measure is more effective than traditional measures. The experiments show that the proposed algorithm can suppress different noise types with different SNR, and the algorithm is robust in the real signal tests.

A novel multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis based on improved empirical mode decomposition for the non-linear and non-stationary vibration signal of machinery is proposed. As the intrinsic mode functions selection and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test are utilized in the detrending procedure, the present approach is quite available for contaminated data sets. The intrinsic mode functions selection is employed to deal with the undesired intrinsic mode functions named pseudocomponents, and the two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test works on each intrinsic mode function and Gaussian noise to detect the noise-like intrinsic mode functions. The proposed method is adaptive to the signal and weakens the effect of noise, which makes this approach work well for vibration signals collected from poor working conditions. We assess the performance of the proposed procedure through the classic multiplicative cascading process. For the pure simulation signal, our results agree with the theoretical results, and for the contaminated time series, the proposed method outperforms the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis methods. In addition, we analyze the vibration signals of rolling bearing with different fault types, and the presence of multifractality is confirmed.

Abstract. In the last few years, wind power forecasting has established itself as an essential tool in the energy industry due to the increase of wind power penetration in the electric grid. This paper presents a wind power forecasting method based on ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and deep learning. EEMD is employed to decompose wind power time series data into several intrinsic mode functions and a residual component. Afterwards, every intrinsic mode function is trained by means of a CNN-LSTM architecture. Finally, wind power forecast is obtained by adding the prediction of every component. Compared to the benchmark model, the proposed approach provides more accurate predictions for several time horizons. Furthermore, prediction intervals are modelled using quantile regression.

Abstract This study explores the data-driven properties of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) for signal denoising. EMD is an acknowledged procedure which has been widely used for non-stationary and nonlinear signal processing. The main idea of the EMD method is to decompose the analyzed signal into components without using expansion functions. This is a signal dependent representation and provides intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) as components. These are analyzed, through their Hurst exponent and if they are found being noisy components they will be partially or integrally eliminated. This study presents an EMD decomposition-based filtering procedure applied to test signals, the results are evaluated through signal to noise ratio (SNR) and mean square error (MSE). The obtained results are compared with discrete wavelet transform based filtering results.

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.

<p>Abstract</p><p>Most of the time series in nature are nonlinear and nonstationary affected by climate change particularly. It is inevitable that Taiwan has also experienced frequent drought events in recent years. However, drought events are natural disasters with no clear warnings and their influences are cumulative. The difficulty of detecting and analyzing the drought phenomenon remains. To deal with the above-mentioned problem, Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD) is introduced to analyze the temperature and rainfall data from 1975~2018 in this study, which is a powerful method developed for the time-frequency analysis of nonlinear, nonstationary time series. This method can not only analyze the spatial locality and temporal locality of signals but also decompose the multiple-dimensional time series into several Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs). By the set of IMFs, the meaningful instantaneous frequency and the trend of the signals can be observed. Considering stochastic and deterministic influences, to enhance the accuracy this study also reconstruct IMFs into two components, stochastic and deterministic, by the coefficient of auto-correlation.</p><p>In this study, the influences of temperature and precipitation on the drought events will be discussed. Furthermore, to decrease the significant impact of drought events, this study also attempts to forecast the occurrences of drought events in the short-term via the Artificial Neural Network technique. And, based on the CMIP5 model, this study also investigates the trend and variability of drought events and warming in different climatic scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: Multi-dimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (MEEMD), Intrinsic Mode Function(IMF), Drought</p>
