Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

It is well known that an engineering surface is composed of a large number of wavelengths of roughness that are superimposed on each other. Because these multi-scale features are related to different aspects of the processes the surface has undergone and closely related to the friction and wear properties of a surface, the analysis and characterization of these features becomes an important aspect of manufacture. The challenge is how to use them for acquiring knowledge and for aid to analysis. In this paper, a method for surface topography analysis is proposed based on bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD), which can provide good adaptive separation of surface texture into multiple hierarchical components known as bidimensional intrinsic mode functions (BIMFs). Applications are conducted by using a simulated surfaces to demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of using the bidimensional empirical mode decomposition method in the analysis of engineering surfaces.

In this paper, we propose a variant of the Empirical Mode Decomposition method to decompose multiscale data into their intrinsic mode functions. Under the assumption that the multiscale data satisfy certain scale separation property, we show that the proposed method can extract the intrinsic mode functions accurately and uniquely.

Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

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.

This paper investigates the identification of mechanisms of disc brake squeal by the application of a recently developed Empirical Mode Decomposition method (EMD). A known strength of the EMD is its adaptive nature in analyzing nonstationary data, with success in its original application to ocean mechanics. The EMD decomposes an original signal into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), with each IMF often containing distinct physical significance. Several sets of disc brake squeal data were obtained and processed by EMD. A typical set data is presented in this paper for discussion. Employing a sifting process in the EMD, four prominent squeal-related IMFs are identified in this set of data. The Hilbert transform is then used to analyze the frequency and amplitude contents of the four IMFs, and it is shown that the first IMF is dominant. The spectrogram method is applied to analyze the time-evolution of the frequency components of the IMFs in the squeal process. This analysis procedure confirms an important squeal mechanism, i.e., the squeal condition is governed by the coupling of in-plane and out-of-plane vibration modes of the rotor and the coalescence of their natural frequencies. The inverse approach outlined in this paper is shown to be useful for providing new insights and confirming established hypotheses of disc brake squeal.

Empirical Mode Decomposition Method

Corrosion in pipeline is a significant problem in the oil industry and there is also much interest in reducing leak due to corrosion. Correlation techniques are widely used in leak detection, and these have been extremely effective when attempting to locate leaks in metal pipes. Acoustic emission is a new non-destructive pipeline inspection technology which can be used to monitor crucial part of pipelines and detect pipe corrosion or leak in real time. However, AE signals causing by corrosion and leak are liable to noise interference on field. Aiming at solving the noise interference problems and increase the detection sensitivity and location accuracy of the leak, advanced signal analysis method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition were researched. Empirical Mode Decomposition is a great breakthrough in non-stable signal analysis and it decomposes the signals into a sum of finite intrinsic mode functions (IMF), which have real physical meaning. In the experiment, the leak signals from a 30 m pipeline were decomposed into 9 intrinsic mode functions by EMD, among which some IMF components containing typical AE characteristic can be selected to reconstruct the signal, and thus intrinsic characteristic of leak signal could be extracted and noise interference would be eliminated. Location accuracy of the leaking hole calculated with the reconstructed signals based on EMD algorithm was increased 64%.

Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition

In order to suppress the multiplicative specular noise in side-scan sonar images, a denoising method combining bidimensional empirical mode decomposition and non-local means algorithm is proposed. First, the sonar image is decomposed into intrinsic mode functions(IMF) and residual component, then the high frequency IMF is denoised by non-local mean filtering method, and finally the processed intrinsic mode functions and residual component are reconstructed to obtain the de-noised side-scan sonar image. The paper’s method is compared with the conventional filtering algorithm for experimental quantitative analysis. The results show that this method can suppress the sonar image noise and retain the detailed information of the image, which is beneficial to the later image processing.
