Abundance quantification by independent component analysis of hyperspectral imagery for oil spill coverage calculation

The estimation of oil spill coverage is an important part of monitoring of oil spills at sea.The spatial resolution of images collected by airborne hyper-spectral remote sensing limits both the detection of oil spills and the accuracy of estimates of their size.We consider at-sea oil spills with zonal distribution in this paper and improve the traditional independent component analysis algorithm.For each independent component we added two constraint conditions:non-negativity and constant sum.We use priority weighting by higher-order statistics,and then the spectral angle match method to overcome the order nondeterminacy.By these steps,endmembers can be extracted and abundance quantified simultaneously.To examine the coverage of a real oil spill and correct our estimate,a simulation experiment and a real experiment were designed using the algorithm described above.The result indicated that,for the simulation data,the abundance estimation error is 2.52% and minimum root mean square error of the reconstructed image is 0.030 6.We estimated the oil spill rate and area based on eight hyper-spectral remote sensing images collected by an airborne survey of Shandong Changdao in 2011.The total oil spill area was 0.224 km^2,and the oil spill rate was 22.89%.The method we demonstrate in this paper can be used for the automatic monitoring of oil spill coverage rates.It also allows the accurate estimation of the oil spill area.

Independent component analysis to physical-layer network coding over wireless fading channels

A new combinational technology is proposed,which is feasible to apply physical-layer network coding（PNC） to wireless fading channels by employing the harmful interference strategically.The key step of PNC is that sources broadcast signals simultaneously without orthogonal scheduling.Naturally,the signals overlap in the free space at the receivers.Since the signals from different sources are mutual independent,rooted on this rational assumption,an enhanced joint diagonalization separation named altering row diagonalization（ARD） algorithm is exploited to separate these signals by maximizing the cost function measuring independence among them.This ARD PNC（APNC） methodology provides an innovative way to implement signal-level network coding at the presence of interference and without any priori information about channels in fading environments.In conclusions,the proposed APNC performs well with higher bandwidth utility and lower error rate.

Two Dimensional Spatial Independent Component Analysis and Its Application in fMRI Data Process

One important application of independent component analysis （ICA） is in image processing. A two dimensional （2-D） composite ICA algorithm framework for 2-D image independent component analysis （2-D ICA） is proposed. The 2-D nature of the algorithm provides it an advantage of circumventing the roundabout transforming procedures between two dimensional （2-D） image deta and one-dimensional （l-D） signal. Moreover the combination of the Newton （fixed-point algorithm） and natural gradient algorithms in this composite algorithm increases its efficiency and robustness. The convincing results of a successful example in functional magnetic resonance imaging （fMRI） show the potential application of composite 2-D ICA in the brain activity detection.

SIGNAL FEATURE EXTRACTION BASED UPON INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS AND WAVELET TRANSFORM

It is an important precondition for machine fault diagnosis that vibrationsignal can be extracted effectively. Based on the characteristic of noise interfused during thecourse of sampling vibration signal, independent component analysis (ICA) method is combined withwavelet to de-noise. Firstly, The sampled signal can be separated with ICA, then the function offrequency band chosen with multi-resolution wavelet transform can be used to judge whether thestochastic disturbance singular signal is interfused. By these ways, the vibration signals can beextracted effectively, which provides favorable condition for subsequent feature detection ofvibration signal and fault diagnosis.

Independent component analysis approach for fault diagnosis of condenser system in thermal power plant

A statistical signal processing technique was proposed and verified as independent component analysis(ICA) for fault detection and diagnosis of industrial systems without exact and detailed model.Actually,the aim is to utilize system as a black box.The system studied is condenser system of one of MAPNA's power plants.At first,principal component analysis(PCA) approach was applied to reduce the dimensionality of the real acquired data set and to identify the essential and useful ones.Then,the fault sources were diagnosed by ICA technique.The results show that ICA approach is valid and effective for faults detection and diagnosis even in noisy states,and it can distinguish main factors of abnormality among many diverse parts of a power plant's condenser system.This selectivity problem is left unsolved in many plants,because the main factors often become unnoticed by fault expansion through other parts of the plants.

Independent Component Analysis Based Blind Adaptive Interference Reduction and Symbol Recovery for OFDM Systems

To overcome the inter-carrier interference （ICI） of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） systems subject to unknown carrier frequency offset （CFO） and multipath, this paper develops a blind adaptive interference suppression scheme based on independent component analysis （ICA）. Taking into account statistical independence of subcarriers＇ signals of OFDM, the signal recovery mechanism is investigated to achieve the goal of blind equalization. The received OFDM signals can be considered as the mixed observation signals. The effect of CFO and multipath corresponds to the mixing matrix in the problem of blind source separation （BSS） framework. In this paper, the ICA- based OFDM system model is built, and the proposed ICA-based detector is exploited to extract source signals from the observation of a received mixture based on the assumption of statistical independence between the sources. The blind separation technique can increase spectral efficiency and provide robustness performance against erroneous parameter estimation problem. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that compared with the conventional pilot-based scheme, the improved performance of OFDM systems is obtained by the proposed ICA-based detection technique.

Online Batch Process Monitoring Based on Just-in-Time Learning and Independent Component Analysis

A new method was developed for batch process monitoring in this paper. In the devdopad method, just-in-time learning （ JITL ） and independent component analysis （ICA） were integrated to build JITL-ICA monitoring scheme. JITL was employed to tackle with the characteristics of batch process such as inherent time- varying dynamics, multiple operating phases, and especially the case of uneven length stage. According to new coming test data, the most correlated segmentation was obtained from batch-wise unfolded training data by JITL. Then, ICA served as the principal components extraction approach. Therefore, the non.Gaussian distributed data can also be addressed under this modeling framework. The effectiveness and superiority of JITL-ICA based monitoring method was demonstrated by fed-batch penicillin fermentation.

Underdetermined Blind Mixing Matrix Estimation Using STWP Analysis for Speech Source Signals

Wavelet packets decompose signals in to broader components using linear spectral bisecting. Mixing matrix is the key issue in the Blind Source Separation (BSS) literature especially in under-determined cases. In this paper, we propose a simple and novel method in Short Time Wavelet Packet (STWP) analysis to estimate blindly the mixing matrix of speech signals from noise free linear mixtures in over-complete cases. In this paper, the Laplacian model is considered in short time-wavelet packets and is applied to each histogram of packets. Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is used to train the model and calculate the model parameters. In our simulations, comparison with the other recent results will be computed and it is shown that our results are better than others. It is shown that complexity of computation of model is decreased and consequently the speed of convergence is increased.

Fault diagnosis method for an Aeroengine Based on Independent Component Analysis and the Discrete Hidden Markov Model

The vibration signals of an aeroengine are a very important information source for fault diagnosis and condition monitoring. Considering the nonstationarity and low repeatability of the vibration signals, it is necessary to find a corresponding method for feature extraction and fault recognition. In this paper, based on Independent Component Analysis （ICA） and the Discrete Hidden Markov Model （DHMM）, a new fault diagnosis approach named ICA-DHMM is proposed. In this method, ICA separates the source signals from the mixed vibration signals and then extracts features from them, DHMM works as a classifier to recognize the conditions of the aeroengine. Compared with the DHMM, which use the amplitude spectrum of mixed signals as feature parameters, experimental results show this method has higher diagnosis accuracy.

Foreground Detection Based on Nonlinear Independent Component Analysis

Motionless foreground objects are key targets in applications of home care monitoring and abandoned object detection, and pose a great challenge to foreground detection. Most algorithms incorporate the motionless foreground objects into their background models because they have to adapt to environmental changes. To overcome this challenge, a foreground detection method based on nonlinear independent component analysis （ICA） was proposed. Considering that each video frame was actually a nonlinear mixture of the background image and the foreground image, the nonlinear ICA was employed to accurately separate the independent components from each frame. Then, the entropy of grayscale image was calculated to classify which resulting independent component was the foreground image. The proposed nonlinear ICA model was trained offiine and this model was not updated online, so the method can cope with the motionless foreground objects. Experimental results demonstrate that, the method achieves remarkable results and outperforms several advanced methods in dealing with the motionless foreground objects.

Simula- tion results demonstrate the proposed scheme appears as a very appealing solution for removal of jam- ming and an approximate lOdB signal to distortion ratio over traditional schemes is obtained.

Detection and Separation of Event-related Potentials from Multi-Artifacts Contaminated EEG by Means of Independent Component Analysis

Event-related potentials (ERP) is an important type of brain dynamics in human cognition research. However, ERP is often submerged by the spontaneous brain activity EEG, for its relatively tiny scale. Further more, the brain activities collected from scalp electrodes are often inevitably contaminated by several kinds of artifacts, such as blinks, eye movements, muscle noise and power line interference. A new approach to correct these disturbances is presented using independent component analysis (ICA). This technique can effectively detect and extract ERP components from the measured electrodes recordings even if they are heavily contaminated. The results compare favorably to those obtained by parametric modeling. Besides, auto-adaptive projection of decomposed results to ERP components was also given. Through experiments, ICA proves to be highly capable of ERP extraction and S/N ratio improving.
