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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In process of seismic exploration,the noise of seismic signals produces serious interference. Conventional methods of wavelet threshold denoising cannot fully use the characteristics of seismic signals due to its limitations. There is always a certain degree of deviation between estimated value and actual value. In this study,a method of seismic data denoising is proposed,the authors use the current coefficients,the parent coefficients and the neighborhood coefficients based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform( DTCWT) and related sub-band denoising model( TrivaS hrink) to achieve the optimal estimation of shrinking factor and get the noise reduction of seismic records. It is found that the method is better than conventional methods of wavelet threshold denoising in removing random noise.

Insect recognition based on integrated region matching and dual tree complex wavelet transform

To provide pest technicians with a convenient way to recognize insects,a novel method is proposed to classify insect images by integrated region matching (IRM) and dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT).The wing image of the lepidopteran insect is preprocessed to obtain the region of interest (ROI) whose position is then calibrated.The ROI is first segmented with the k-means algorithm into regions according to the color features,properties of all the segmented regions being used as a coarse level feature.The color image is then converted to a grayscale image,where DTCWT features are extracted as a fine level feature.The IRM scheme is undertaken to find K nearest neighbors (KNNs),out of which the nearest neighbor is searched by computing the Canberra distance of DTCWT features.The method was tested with a database including 100 lepidopteran insect species from 18 families and the recognition accuracy was 84.47%.For the forewing subset,a recognition accuracy of 92.38% was achieved.The results showed that the proposed method can effectively solve the problem of automatic species identification of lepidopteran specimens.

Adaptive multiscale wavelet-guided periodic sparse representation for bearing incipient fault feature extraction

Currently, accurately extracting early-stage bearing incipient fault features is urgent and challenging. This paper introduces a novel method called adaptive multiscale wavelet-guided periodic sparse representation(AMWPSR) to address this issue. For the first time, the dual-tree complex wavelet transform is applied to construct the linear transformation for the AMWPSR model.This transform offers superior shift invariance and minimizes spectrum aliasing. By integrating this linear transformation with the generalized minimax concave penalty term, a new sparse representation model is developed to recover faulty impulse components from heavily disturbed vibration signals. During each iteration of the AMWPSR process, the impulse periods of sparse signals are adaptively estimated, and the periodicity of the latest sparse signal is augmented using the final estimated period. Simulation studies demonstrate that AMWPSR can effectively estimate periodic impulses even in noisy environments, demonstrating greater accuracy and robustness in recovering faulty impulse components than existing techniques.Further validation through research on two sets of bearing life cycle data shows that AMWPSR delivers superior fault diagnosis results.
