EEG epileptic seizure detection and classification based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform and machine learning algorithms

The visual analysis of common neurological disorders such as epileptic seizures in electroencephalography(EEG) is an oversensitive operation and prone to errors,which has motivated the researchers to develop effective automated seizure detection methods.This paper proposes a robust automatic seizure detection method that can establish a veritable diagnosis of these diseases.The proposed method consists of three steps:(i) remove artifact from EEG data using Savitzky-Golay filter and multi-scale principal component analysis(MSPCA),(ii) extract features from EEG signals using signal decomposition representations based on empirical mode decomposition(EMD),discrete wavelet transform(DWT),and dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DTCWT) allowing to overcome the non-linearity and non-stationary of EEG signals,and(iii) allocate the feature vector to the relevant class(i.e.,seizure class "ictal" or free seizure class "interictal") using machine learning techniques such as support vector machine(SVM),k-nearest neighbor(k-NN),and linear discriminant analysis(LDA).The experimental results were based on two EEG datasets generated from the CHB-MIT database with and without overlapping process.The results obtained have shown the effectiveness of the proposed method that allows achieving a higher classification accuracy rate up to 100% and also outperforms similar state-of-the-art methods.

Monitoring of Wind Turbine Blades Based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform

Structural health monitoring(SHM)in-service is very important for wind turbine system.Because the central wavelength of a fiber Bragg grating(FBG)sensor changes linearly with strain or temperature,FBG-based sensors are easily applied to structural tests.Therefore,the monitoring of wind turbine blades by FBG sensors is proposed.The method is experimentally proved to be feasible.Five FBG sensors were set along the blade length in order to measure distributed strain.However,environmental or measurement noise may cover the structural signals.Dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DT-CWT)is suggested to wipe off the noise.The experimental studies indicate that the tested strain fluctuate distinctly as one of the blades is broken.The rotation period is about 1 s at the given working condition.However,the period is about 0.3 s if all the wind blades are in good conditions.Therefore,strain monitoring by FBG sensors could predict damage of a wind turbine blade system.Moreover,the studies indicate that monitoring of one blade is adequate to diagnose the status of a wind generator.

Numerical results illustrate the good performance of our algorithm.

Seismic signal analysis based on the dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform

We tried to apply the dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform in seismic signal analysis. The complex wavelet packet transform (CWPT) combine the merits of real wavelet packet transform with that of complex continuous wavelet transform (CCWT). It can not only pick up the phase information of signal, but also produce better ″focal- izing″ function if it matches the phase spectrum of signals analyzed. We here described the dual-tree CWPT algo- rithm, and gave the examples of simulation and actual seismic signals analysis. As shown by our results, the dual-tree CWPT is a very effective method in analyzing seismic signals with non-linear phase.

Defects Recognition of 3D Braided Composite Based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Packet Transform

Textile-reinforced composites,due to their excellent highstrength-to-low-mass ratio, provide promising alternatives to conventional structural materials in many high-tech sectors. 3D braided composites are a kind of advanced composites reinforced with 3D braided fabrics; the complex nature of 3D braided composites makes the evaluation of the quality of the product very difficult. In this investigation,a defect recognition platform for 3D braided composites evaluation was constructed based on dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform( DT-CWPT) and backpropagation( BP) neural networks. The defects in 3D braided composite materials were probed and detected by an ultrasonic sensing system. DT-CWPT method was used to analyze the ultrasonic scanning pulse signals,and the feature vectors of these signals were extracted into the BP neural networks as samples. The type of defects was identified and recognized with the characteristic ultrasonic wave spectra. The position of defects for the test samples can be determined at the same time. This method would have great potential to evaluate the quality of 3D braided composites.

NEW METHOD OF EXTRACTING WEAK FAILURE INFORMATION IN GEARBOX BY COMPLEX WAVELET DENOISING

Because the extract of the weak failure information is always the difficulty and focus of fault detection. Aiming for specific statistical properties of complex wavelet coefficients of gearbox vibration signals, a new signal-denoising method which uses local adaptive algorithm based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform （DT-CWT） is introduced to extract weak failure information in gear, especially to extract impulse components. By taking into account the non-Gaussian probability distribution and the statistical dependencies among wavelet coefficients of some signals, and by taking the advantage of near shift-invariance of DT-CWT, the higher signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） than common wavelet denoising methods can be obtained. Experiments of extracting periodic impulses in gearbox vibration signals indicate that the method can extract incipient fault feature and hidden information from heavy noise, and it has an excellent effect on identifying weak feature signals in gearbox vibration signals.

The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Low-light image enhancement based on Retinex theory and dual-tree complex wavelet transform

In order to enhance the contrast of low-light images and reduce noise in them, we propose an image enhancement method based on Retinex theory and dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DT-CWT). The method first converts an image from the RGB color space to the HSV color space and decomposes the V-channel by dual-tree complex wavelet transform. Next, an improved local adaptive tone mapping method is applied to process the low frequency components of the image, and a soft threshold denoising algorithm is used to denoise the high frequency components of the image. Then, the V-channel is rebuilt and the contrast is adjusted using white balance method. Finally, the processed image is converted back into the RGB color space as the enhanced result. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the performance in terms of contrast enhancement, noise reduction and color reproduction.

A Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform-Based Model for Low-Illumination Image Enhancement

Image enhancement is a monumental task in the field of computer vision and image processing.Existing methods are insufficient for preserving naturalness and minimizing noise in images.This article discusses a technique that is based on wavelets for optimizing images taken in low-light.First,the V channel is created by mapping an image’s RGB channel to the HSV color space.Second,the acquired V channel is decomposed using the dual-tree complex wavelet transform(DT-CWT)in order to recover the concentrated information within its high and low-frequency subbands.Thirdly,an adaptive illumination boost technique is used to enhance the visibility of a low-frequency component.Simultaneously,anisotropic diffusion is used to mitigate the high-frequency component’s noise impact.To improve the results,the image is reconstructed using an inverse DT-CWT and then converted to RGB space using the newly calculated V.Additionally,images are white-balanced to remove color casts.Experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves outcomes and outperforms previously reported methods in general.

Underwater Gas Leakage Flow Detection and Classification Based on Multibeam Forward-Looking Sonar

The risk of gas leakage due to geological flaws in offshore carbon capture, utilization, and storage, as well as leakage from underwater oil or gas pipelines, highlights the need for underwater gas leakage monitoring technology. Remotely operated vehicles(ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs) are equipped with high-resolution imaging sonar systems that have broad application potential in underwater gas and target detection tasks. However, some bubble clusters are relatively weak scatterers, so detecting and distinguishing them against the seabed reverberation in forward-looking sonar images are challenging. This study uses the dual-tree complex wavelet transform to extract the image features of multibeam forward-looking sonar. Underwater gas leakages with different flows are classified by combining deep learning theory. A pool experiment is designed to simulate gas leakage, where sonar images are obtained for further processing. Results demonstrate that this method can detect and classify underwater gas leakage streams with high classification accuracy. This performance indicates that the method can detect gas leakage from multibeam forward-looking sonar images and has the potential to predict gas leakage flow.
