The functional-series time-dependent auto regressive moving average (FS-TARMA) time series model is applied to the vibration signal observed in the time-varying system for estimating the TAR/TMA parameters and the innovation variance. These parameters are the functions of the time, represented by a group of projection coefficients on the certain functional subspace with specific basis functions. The estimated TAR/TMA parameters and the innovation variance are further used to calculate the latent components (LCs) as the more informative data for health monitoring evaluation, based on an eigenvalue decomposition technique. LCs are then combined and reduced to numerical values (NVs) as feature sets, which are input to a probabilistic neural network (PNN) for the damage classification. For the evaluation of the proposed method, numerical simulations of the damage classification for a tlme-varylng system are used, in which different classes of damage are modeled by the mass or stiffness reductions. It is demonstrated that the method can identify the damages in the course of operation and the change of parameters on the time-varying background of the system.展开更多

A new corner detection algorithm in planar curves is proposed. Firstly, from the human perception, two key characteristics are given as an amendment of the traditional corner properties. Based on the two properties, the concept of the fuzzy set is introduced into a detection. Secondly, the extracted-formulae of three groups including the features of the corner subject degree are derived. Through synthesizing the features of three groups, the judgments of the corner detection, location, and optimization are obtained. Finally, by using the algorithm the detection results of several examples and feature curves for some interested parts, as well as the detection results for the test images history in references are given. Results show that the algorithm is easily realized after adopting the fuzzy set, and the detection effect is very ideal.展开更多

The industrial CT slice image is preprocessed first with the combination of adaptive median filtering and adaptive weighted average filtering by analyzing the characteristics of the industrial CT slice images. Then an image segmentation algorithm based on gray change rate is used to segment low contrast information in industrial CT images, and the feature of workpiece defect is extracted by using Hu invariant moment. On this basis, the radial basis function (RBF) neural network model is established and the firefly algorithm is used for optimization, and the intelligent identification of the internal defects of the workpiece is completed. Simulation results show that this method can effectively improve the accuracy of defect identification and provide a theoretical basis for the detection of internal defects in industry.展开更多

This paper presents a method for this task by using boosted local pattern detector constructed from two local features including Haar-like and oriented gradient features. The whole process is composed of three stages. In the first stage, local appearance features of vehicles and non-vehicle objects are extracted. Haar-tike and oriented gradient features are extracted separately in this stage as local features. In the second stage, Adabeost algorithm is used to select the most discriminative features as weak detectors from the two local feature sets, and a strong local pattern detector is built by the weighted combination of these selected weak detectors. Finally, vehicle detection can be performed in still images by using the boosted strong local feature detector. Experiment results show that the local pattern detector constructed in this way combines the advantages of Haar-like and oriented gradient features, and can achieve better detection results than the detector by using single Haar-like features.展开更多

For measuring the feature sizes of grooves,a method based on line structured light is presented. Firstly,an adaptive algorithm to extract the subpixel centerline of structured light stripes is introduced to deal with the uneven width and grayscale distributions of laser stripes,which is based on the quadratic weighted grayscale centroid. By means of region-of-interest(ROI)division and image difference,an image preprocessing algorithm is developed for filtering noise and improving image quality. Furthermore,to acquire geometrical dimensions of various grooves and groove types precisely,the subpixel feature point extraction algorithm of grooves is designed. Finally, experimental results of feature size measuring show that the absolute error of measurement is 0.031—0.176 mm,and the relative error of measurement is 0.2%—3.6%.展开更多

First, strain response data of electronic components is filtered by empirical mode decomposition(EMD) method based on maximum spectrum kurtosis(SK), and fault symptom vector is developed by computing and reconstructing the envelope spectrum. Second, nonlinear fault symptom data is mapped and clustered in sparse Hilbert space using Gaussian radial basis kernel probabilistic distance clustering method. Finally, the current state of board level package is estimated by computing the membership probability of its envelope spectrum. The experimental results demonstrated that the method can detect and classify the latent failure mode of board level package effectively before it happened.展开更多

Traditional anti-virus systems based on signatures fail to classify unknown malware into their corresponding families and to detect new kinds of malware pro- grams. Therefore, we propose a machine learning based malware analysis system, which is composed of three modules: data processing, decision making, and new malware detection. The data processing module deals with gray-scale images, Opcode n-gram, and import fimctions, which are employed to extract the features of the malware. The decision-making module uses the features to classify the malware and to identify suspicious malware. Finally, the detection module uses the shared nearest neighbor (SNN) clustering algorithm to discover new malware families. Our approach is evaluated on more than 20 000 malware instances, which were collected by Kingsoft, ESET NOD32, and Anubis. The results show that our system can effectively classify the un- known malware with a best accuracy of 98.9%, and successfully detects 86.7% of the new malware.展开更多

However, early stage defect of rotating machiner- ies is difficult to identify because their incipient energy is interfered with background noises. Multiwavelet is a powerful tool used to conduct non-stationary fault feature extraction. However, the existing predetermined multiwavelet bases are independ- ent of the dynamic response signals. In this paper, a constructing technique of vibration data-driven maximal-overlap adaptive multiwavelet (MOAMW) is proposed for enhancing the extracting performance of fault symptom. It is able to derive an opti- mal multiwavelet basis that best matches the critical non-stationary and transient fault signatures via genetic algorithm. In this technique, two-scale similarity transform (TST) and symmetric lifting (SymLift) scheme are combined to gain high designing freedom for matching the critical faulty vibration contents in vibration signals based on the maximal fitness objective. TST and SymLift can add modifications to the initial multiwavelet by changing the approximation order and vanishing moment of mul- tiwavelet, respectively. Moreover, the beneficial feature of the MOAWM lies in that the maximal-overlap filterbank structure can enhance the periodic and transient characteristics of the sensor signals and preserve the time and frequency analyzing res- olution during the decomposition process. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is validated via a numerical simulation as well as a rolling element beating with an outer race scrape and a gearbox with rub fault.展开更多
