Burst-Type Acoustic Emission Source Localization Based on Multi-Scale and Multi-Sensors

For the burst-type acoustic emission signal, time delay estimation of two sensors calculated by signal cross-correlation is not accurate, and it leads the source localization results is not also accurate. A new method is proposed to improve accuracy of source localization results based on multi-scale analysis and multi-sensors. Acoustic emission signal multi-scale analysis using wavelet transform, then the most accurate time delay is selected in sub-band of signal multi-scale analysis by multi-sensors time delay vector close rule. Finally, the simulation acoustic emission source localization experiment has high accuracy.
