An improved joint method for onset picking of acoustic emission signals with noise

The onset times of acoustic signals with spikes,heavy bodies and unclear takeoffs are difficult to be picked accurately by the automatic method at present.To deal with this problem,an improved joint method based on the discrete wavelet transform(DWT),modified energy ratio(MER)and Akaike information criterion(AIC)pickers,has been proposed in this study.First,the DWT is used to decompose the signal into various components.Then,the joint application of MER and AIC pickers is carried out to pick the initial onset times of all selected components,where the minimum AIC position ahead of MER onset time is regarded as the initial onset time.Last,the average for initial onset times of all selected components is calculated as the final onset time of this signal.This improved joint method is tested and validated by the acoustic signals with different signal to noise ratios(SNRs)and waveforms.The results show that the improved joint method is not affected by the variations of SNR,and the onset times picked by this method are always accurate in different SNRs.Moreover,the onset times of all acoustic signals with spikes,heavy bodies and unclear takeoffs can be accurately picked by the improved joint method.Compared to some other methods including MER,AIC,DWT-MER and DWT-AIC,the improved joint method has better SNR stabilities and waveform adaptabilities.

Underwater acoustic signal extraction algorithm in a strong noise environment

In the exploration,tracking and positioning of underwater targets,it is necessary to perform frequency domain analysis and correlation calculation on the underwater acoustic signals of the target radiation.In a strong noise environment,the target signal may be overwhelmed by noise,resulting in an inability to effectively identify the target.Aiming at this problem,this paper presents a method of signal-noise separation by combining Fourier denoising with wavelet transform to realize underwater acoustic signal extraction in a strong noise environment.The combination algorithm of Fourier coefficient threshold adjustment and wavelet threshold transform is designed,and performance of the algorithm is tested.Simulation results show that the combination algorithm can effectively extract underwater acoustic signals when signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)is-15 dB,which can improve the SNR to 8.2 dB.

Denoising Method for Shear Probe Signal Based on Wavelet Thresholding

Shear probe works under a tough environment where the turbulence signals to be measured are very weak. The measured turbulence signals often contain a large amount of noise. Due to wide frequency band, noise signals cannot be effectively removed by traditional methods based on Fourier transform. In this paper, a wavelet thresholding denoising method is proposed for turbulence signal processing in that wavelet analysis can be used for multi-resolution analysis and can extract local characteristics of the signals in both time and frequency domains. Turbulence signal denoising process is modeled based on the wavelet theory and characteristics of the turbulence signal. The threshold and decomposition level, as well as the procedure of the turbulence signal denoising, are determined using the wavelet thresholding method. The proposed wavelet thresholding method was validated by turbulence signal denoising of the Western Pacific Ocean trial data. The results show that the propsed method can reduce the noise in the measured signals by shear probes, and the frequency spectrums of the denoised signal correspond well to the Nasmyth spectrum.

A New Approach Based on Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree Algorithm for Image Compression

In this paper, the authors propose a new approach to image compression based on the principle of Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree algorithm （SPIHT）. Our approach, the modified SPIHT （MSPIHT）, distributes entropy differently than SPIHT and also optimizes the coding. This approach can produce results that are a significant improvement on the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio （PSNR） and compression ratio obtained by SPIHT algorithm, without affecting the computing time. These results are also comparable with those obtained using the Embedded Zerotree Wavelet （EZW） and Joint Photographic Experts Group 2000 （JPG2） algorithms.

Buck converter stability techniques for secondary filters and adaptive voltage positioning

To reduce output voltage noise and improve dynamic response performance,this study designed a buck converter on the basis of secondary filters and adaptive voltage positioning(AVP).A hybrid control method was proposed for the compensation of the secondary filter.The introduction of a high-frequency feedback path,in addition to the traditional feedback path,effectively improved the influence of the secondary filter on the loop stability and direct current regulation performance.A small-signal model of the buck converter based on the proposed control method was derived,and the stability and selection of control parameters were analyzed.AVP is realized using an easy-to-implement and low-cost control method that was proposed to improve dynamic response performance by changing the low-frequency gain of the control loop and load regulation of the output voltage.The experimental results of the buck converter showed that the proposed method effectively reduced the output voltage noise by 50%and improved the dynamic response capability to meet the target requirements of mainstream electronic systems.

Seislet transform denoising based on total variation minimization

Attenuation of noise is a persistent problem in seismic exploration. The authors use conventional denoising method to remove noise which may cause vibration near the discontinuity called pseudo-Gibbs artifact.In order to remove the artifact,the study proposed a method combining the seislet transform and total variation minimization. Firstly,the data are converted into the seislet transform domain. Secondly,the hard threshold was used for eliminating the noise and keep useful signal,which is the initial input for the next step. Finally,total variation minimization dealed with denoised data to recover boundary information and further eliminated the noise. Synthetic data examples show that the method has feasibility in eliminating random noise and protecting detailed signal,and also shows better results than the classic f-x deconvolution. The field data example also shows effective in practice. It can remove the noise and preserve the discontinuity signal at the same time.
