In order to improve the efficiency of feature extraction of wind turbine rolling bearings and to strengthen the feature information, a new structural element and an adaptive algorithm based on the peak energy are proposed,which are combined with spectral correlation analysis to form a fault diagnosis algorithm for wind turbine rolling bearings. The proposed method firstly addresses the problem of impulsive signal omissions that are prone to occur in the process of fault feature extraction of traditional structural elements and proposes a "W" structural element to capture more characteristic information. Then, the proposed method selects the scale of multi-scale mathematical morphology, aiming at the problem of multi-scale mathematical morphology scale selection and structural element expansion law. An adaptive algorithm based on peak energy is proposed to carry out morphological scale selection and structural element expansion by improving the computing efficiency and enhancing the feature extraction effect.Finally, the proposed method performs spectral correlation analysis in the frequency domain for an unknown signal of the extracted feature and identifies the fault based on the correlation coefficient. The method is verified by numerical examples using experimental rig bearing data and actual wind field acquisition data and compared with traditional triangular and flat structural elements. The experimental results show that the new structural elements can more effectively extract the pulses in the signal and reduce noise interference,and the fault-diagnosis algorithm can accurately identify the fault category and improve the reliability of the results.展开更多

Based on the Walsh-MM method, a scheme for power quality disturbances detection and classification is developed, which involves three steps: denoising, feature extraction and morphological clustering. First, various evolution rules of Walsh function are used to generate groups of SEs for the multiscale Walsh-ordered morphological operation, so the original signal can be denoised. Next, the fundamental wave of the denoised signal is suppressed by Hadamard matrix;thus, disturbances can be extracted. Finally, the Walsh power spectrum of the waveform extracted in the previous step is calculated, and the parameters of which are taken by morphological clustering to classify the disturbances. Simulation results reveal the proposed scheme can effectively detect and classify disturbances, and the Walsh-MM method is less affected by noise and only involves simple calculation, which has a potential to be implemented in hardware and more suitable for real-time application.展开更多

But in the low-frequency component, the coefficients around the zero value are very few, so we cannot sparsely represent low-frequency image information. The low-frequency component contains the main energy of the image and depicts the profile of the image. Direct fusion of the low-frequency component will not be conducive to obtain highly accurate fusion result. Therefore, this paper presents an infrared and visible image fusion method combining the multi-scale and top-hat transforms. On one hand, the new top-hat-transform can effectively extract the salient features of the low-frequency component. On the other hand, the multi-scale transform can extract highfrequency detailed information in multiple scales and from diverse directions. The combination of the two methods is conducive to the acquisition of more characteristics and more accurate fusion results. Among them, for the low-frequency component, a new type of top-hat transform is used to extract low-frequency features, and then different fusion rules are applied to fuse the low-frequency features and low-frequency background; for high-frequency components, the product of characteristics method is used to integrate the detailed information in high-frequency. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain more detailed information and clearer infrared target fusion results than the traditional multiscale transform methods. Compared with the state-of-the-art fusion methods based on sparse representation, the proposed algorithm is simple and efficacious, and the time consumption is significantly reduced.展开更多

文摘In this paper, a novel signal processing method combining mathematical morphology (MM) and Walsh theory is proposed, which uses Walsh functions to control the structuring element (SE) and MM operators. Based on the Walsh-MM method, a scheme for power quality disturbances detection and classification is developed, which involves three steps: denoising, feature extraction and morphological clustering. First, various evolution rules of Walsh function are used to generate groups of SEs for the multiscale Walsh-ordered morphological operation, so the original signal can be denoised. Next, the fundamental wave of the denoised signal is suppressed by Hadamard matrix;thus, disturbances can be extracted. Finally, the Walsh power spectrum of the waveform extracted in the previous step is calculated, and the parameters of which are taken by morphological clustering to classify the disturbances. Simulation results reveal the proposed scheme can effectively detect and classify disturbances, and the Walsh-MM method is less affected by noise and only involves simple calculation, which has a potential to be implemented in hardware and more suitable for real-time application.

Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain more detailed information and clearer infrared target fusion results than the traditional multiscale transform methods. Compared with the state-of-the-art fusion methods based on sparse representation, the proposed algorithm is simple and efficacious, and the time consumption is significantly reduced.

文摘We introduce first a sort of gray-scale morphological dilations and erosions, which might have some further applications in image analysis. Then we show that the dilation and the erosion defined here form adjunctive pairs. The duality between the dilation and the erosion and some other properties, such as the commuting property with translation and homothety, of these operators are discussed as well.

文摘Chinese tamarisk(saltcedar)is a deciduous shrub that occurs widely across the Yellow River Delta in China.The spatial structure of Chinese tamarisk is believed to have an influence on the landscape and habitats of rare birds.In this study,first,Chinese tamarisk is detected using Canny edge detector and mathematical morphological operators based on SPOT 5 fusion-ready imagery.Then the numbers,areas,locations,and patch spacing of Chinese tamarisk patches are calculated.The experiments show that the detection accuracy of Chinese tamarisk patches is about 93.4%after the disconnection of connected patches.The distribution orientation of about 70%of the patches is approximately south-north.About 91%of the minimum distances among the patches are between 12.5 and 57.5 m.The rose graph indicates that the main azimuth between patches is north--northwest,and the second is northeast and southeast.The present study indicates that the integrating Canny edge detector with the algorithms for extracting circular and elliptical objects based on mathematical morphology is simple and effective for detecting Chinese tamarisk patches and is easy to identify the spatial structure of Chinese tamarisk patches,which reduces the time and labor for the visual interpretation of Chinese tamarisk patches.

文摘The harmonic components of stator winding current in induction motor will change under the condition of stator inter-turn short circuit.According to these characteristics,in this paper,a novel technique based on morphological maxlifting scheme is proposed for identification of induction motor stator inter-turn short circuit.A max-lifting scheme is applied to process stator winding currents to extract these characteristics.An indicator,r,is computed to identify the short circuit.The transient model of induction motor is employed to simulate oneturn to six-turn stator inter-turn short circuits in an induction motor.Extensive simulation work has been conducted under normal conditions,abnormal conditions(voltage imbalance and varying load),stator inter-turn short circuit conditions,and conditions of any combinations of the above.The results have shown that the scheme proposed in this paper has a high identification rate for induction motor stator inter-turn short circuit.
文摘This paper presents the results of the application of mathematical morphology for the automatic quantification of the number of tents and the detection of changes in the Menik Farm IDP camp in Sri Lanka.The tents were retrieved using an area-constraint top-hat opening applied to WorldView-1 data.The counting of tents was based on the centroids of the automatically detected structures indicating an overall number of 25,150 tents on the 26 June 2009.The comparison with a visual interpretation produced an R2 of 0.97 with an error of 1.25%.In addition,an automated detection of changes inside a camp area was conducted.The comparison of the satellite image of 26 June 2009(WorldView-1)and an image of 28 February 2010(GeoEye-1)is based on mutual(mixed)information metric,after using morphological image processing techniques and previously specified criterion.Changes are observed on a terrain of around 15.2%of the total camp area and 3813 of previously detected structures disappeared in a period of 8 months.
文摘The ongoing transformation of electrical power systems highlights the weaknesses of the protection schemes of traditional devices because they are designed and configured according to traditional characteristics of the system.Therefore,this work proposes a new methodology to study the fault-generated high frequency transient signals in transmission lines through multiresolution analysis.The high frequency components are determined by a new digital filtering technique based on mathematical morphology theory and a spectral energy index.Consequently,wide spectra of signals in the time–frequency domain are obtained.The performance of this method is verified on an electrical power system modeled in ATP-Draw,where simulation and test signals are developed for different locations,fault resistances,inception angles,high frequency noises,sampling frequencies,types of faults,and shapes of the structuring element.The results show the characteristics of the fault such as the traveling wave frequency,location,and starting time.
