However, the lack of explainability makes DL-based fault diagnosis methods difficult to be trusted and understood by industrial users. In addition, the extraction of weak fault features from signals with heavy noise is imperative in industrial applications. To address these limitations, inspired by the Filterbank-Feature-Decision methodology, we propose a new Signal Processing Informed Neural Network(SPINN) framework by embedding SP knowledge into the DL model. As one of the practical implementations for SPINN, a denoising fault-aware wavelet network(DFAWNet) is developed, which consists of fused wavelet convolution(FWConv), dynamic hard thresholding(DHT),index-based soft filtering(ISF), and a classifier. Taking advantage of wavelet transform, FWConv extracts multiscale features while learning wavelet scales and selecting important wavelet bases automatically;DHT dynamically eliminates noise-related components via point-wise hard thresholding;inspired by index-based filtering, ISF optimizes and selects optimal filters for diagnostic feature extraction. It’s worth noting that SPINN may be readily applied to different deep learning networks by simply adding filterbank and feature modules in front. Experiments results demonstrate a significant diagnostic performance improvement over other explainable or denoising deep learning networks.

However, in noisy situations, existing resolution enhancement methods are difficult to yield satisfactory processing outcomes for reservoir characterization. To solve this problem, we develop a new approach for simultaneous denoising and resolution enhancement of seismic data based on convolution dictionary learning. First, an elastic convolution dictionary learning algorithm is presented to efficiently learn a convolution dictionary with stronger representation capability from the noisy data to be processed. Specifically, the algorithm introduces the elastic L1/2 norm as a sparsity constraint and employs a steepest gradient descent strategy to efficiently solve the frequency-domain linear system with substantial computational cost in a half-quadratic splitting framework. Then, based on the learned convolution dictionary, a weighted convolutional sparse representation paradigm is designed to encode the noisy data to acquire an optimal sparse approximation of the effective signal. Subsequently, a high-resolution dictionary with a broadband spectrum is constructed by the proposed parameter scaling strategy and matched filtering technique on the basis of atomic spectrum modeling. Finally, the optimal sparse approximation of the effective signal and the constructed high-resolution dictionary are used for data reconstruction to obtain the seismic signal with high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. Synthetic and field dataset examples are executed to check the effectiveness and reliability of the developed method. The results indicate that this method has a more competitive performance in seismic applications compared with the conventional deconvolution and spectral whitening methods.展开更多

That is disadvantage for seismic data interpretation. So it is important to remove the noise of seismic data. Independent component analysis (ICA) can remove most of the noise interference. However, ICA has some defects in noise reduction, because it needs some conditions that seismic data is independent reciprocally for denoising. To solve these defects, this paper proposes an improved ICA algorithm to noise reduction. Through simulation experiments, it can be obtained that the best decomposition levels of the new algorithm is 3. At last, the proposed improved ICA is applied to deal with the actual seismic data. The results show that it can effectively eliminate most of seismic noise such as random noise, linear interference, surface waves, and so on. The improved ICA is not only easy to denoising, but also has excellent mathematical theoretical properties.展开更多

文摘Due to strong learning ability,convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have been developed in image denoising.However,convolutional operations may change original distributions of noise in corrupted images,which may increase training difficulty in image denoising.Using relations of surrounding pixels can effectively resolve this problem.Inspired by that,we propose a robust deformed denoising CNN(RDDCNN)in this paper.The proposed RDDCNN contains three blocks:a deformable block(DB),an enhanced block(EB)and a residual block(RB).The DB can extract more representative noise features via a deformable learnable kernel and stacked convolutional architecture,according to relations of surrounding pixels.The EB can facilitate contextual interaction through a dilated convolution and a novel combination of convolutional layers,batch normalisation(BN)and ReLU,which can enhance the learning ability of the proposed RDDCNN.To address long-term dependency problem,the RB is used to enhance the memory ability of shallow layer on deep layers and construct a clean image.Besides,we implement a blind denoising model.Experimental results demonstrate that our denoising model outperforms popular denoising methods in terms of qualitative and quantitative analysis.Codes can be obtained at https://github.com/hellloxiaotian/RDDCNN.

文摘Deep learning(DL) is progressively popular as a viable alternative to traditional signal processing(SP) based methods for fault diagnosis. However, the lack of explainability makes DL-based fault diagnosis methods difficult to be trusted and understood by industrial users. In addition, the extraction of weak fault features from signals with heavy noise is imperative in industrial applications. To address these limitations, inspired by the Filterbank-Feature-Decision methodology, we propose a new Signal Processing Informed Neural Network(SPINN) framework by embedding SP knowledge into the DL model. As one of the practical implementations for SPINN, a denoising fault-aware wavelet network(DFAWNet) is developed, which consists of fused wavelet convolution(FWConv), dynamic hard thresholding(DHT),index-based soft filtering(ISF), and a classifier. Taking advantage of wavelet transform, FWConv extracts multiscale features while learning wavelet scales and selecting important wavelet bases automatically;DHT dynamically eliminates noise-related components via point-wise hard thresholding;inspired by index-based filtering, ISF optimizes and selects optimal filters for diagnostic feature extraction. It’s worth noting that SPINN may be readily applied to different deep learning networks by simply adding filterbank and feature modules in front. Experiments results demonstrate a significant diagnostic performance improvement over other explainable or denoising deep learning networks. The corresponding code is available at https://github. com/alber tszg/DFAWn et.
文摘This work presents a novel wavelet-based denoising technique for improving the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of nonsteady vibration signals in hardware redundant systems.The proposed method utilizes the relationship between redundant hardware components to effectively separate fault-related components from the vibration signature,thus enhancing fault detection accuracy.The study evaluates the proposed technique on two mechanically identical subsystems that are simultaneously controlled under the same speed and load inputs,with and without the proposed denoising step.The results demonstrate an increase in detection accuracy when incorporating the proposed denoising method into a fault detection system designed for hardware redundant machinery.This work is original in its application of a new method for improving performance when using residual analysis for fault detection in hardware redundant machinery configurations.Moreover,the proposed methodology is applicable to nonstationary equipment that experiences changes in both speed and load.
文摘Computed Tomography(CT)images have been extensively employed in disease diagnosis and treatment,causing a huge concern over the dose of radiation to which patients are exposed.Increasing the radiation dose to get a better image may lead to the development of genetic disorders and cancer in the patients;on the other hand,decreasing it by using a Low-Dose CT(LDCT)image may cause more noise and increased artifacts,which can compromise the diagnosis.So,image reconstruction from LDCT image data is necessary to improve radiologists’judgment and confidence.This study proposed three novel models for denoising LDCT images based on Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network(WGAN).They were incorporated with different loss functions,including Visual Geometry Group(VGG),Structural Similarity Loss(SSIM),and Structurally Sensitive Loss(SSL),to reduce noise and preserve important information on LDCT images and investigate the effect of different types of loss functions.Furthermore,experiments have been conducted on the Graphical Processing Unit(GPU)and Central Processing Unit(CPU)to compare the performance of the proposed models.The results demonstrated that images from the proposed WGAN-SSIM,WGAN-VGG-SSIM,and WGAN-VGG-SSL were denoised better than those from state-of-the-art models(WGAN,WGAN-VGG,and SMGAN)and converged to a stable equilibrium compared with WGAN and WGAN-VGG.The proposed models are effective in reducing noise,suppressing artifacts,and maintaining informative structure and texture details,especially WGAN-VGG-SSL which achieved a high peak-signalto-noise ratio(PNSR)on both GPU(26.1336)and CPU(25.8270).The average accuracy of WGAN-VGG-SSL outperformed that of the state-ofthe-art methods by 1 percent.Experiments prove that theWGAN-VGG-SSL is more stable than the other models on both GPU and CPU.

文摘Object detection,one of the core research topics in computer vision,is extensively used in various industrial activities.Although there have been many studies of daytime images where objects can be easily detected,there is relatively little research on nighttime images.In the case of nighttime,various types of noises,such as darkness,haze,and light blur,deteriorate image quality.Thus,an appropriate process for removing noise must precede to improve object detection performance.Although there are many studies on removing individual noise,only a few studies handle multiple noises simultaneously.In this paper,we pro-pose a convolutional denoising autoencoder(CDAE)-based architecture trained on various types of noises.We also present various composing modules for each noise to improve object detection performance for night images.Using the exclusively dark(ExDark)Image dataset,experimental results show that the Sequentialfiltering architecture showed superior mean average precision(mAP)compared to other architectures.

文摘Enhancing seismic resolution is a key component in seismic data processing, which plays a valuable role in raising the prospecting accuracy of oil reservoirs. However, in noisy situations, existing resolution enhancement methods are difficult to yield satisfactory processing outcomes for reservoir characterization. To solve this problem, we develop a new approach for simultaneous denoising and resolution enhancement of seismic data based on convolution dictionary learning. First, an elastic convolution dictionary learning algorithm is presented to efficiently learn a convolution dictionary with stronger representation capability from the noisy data to be processed. Specifically, the algorithm introduces the elastic L1/2 norm as a sparsity constraint and employs a steepest gradient descent strategy to efficiently solve the frequency-domain linear system with substantial computational cost in a half-quadratic splitting framework. Then, based on the learned convolution dictionary, a weighted convolutional sparse representation paradigm is designed to encode the noisy data to acquire an optimal sparse approximation of the effective signal. Subsequently, a high-resolution dictionary with a broadband spectrum is constructed by the proposed parameter scaling strategy and matched filtering technique on the basis of atomic spectrum modeling. Finally, the optimal sparse approximation of the effective signal and the constructed high-resolution dictionary are used for data reconstruction to obtain the seismic signal with high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. Synthetic and field dataset examples are executed to check the effectiveness and reliability of the developed method. The results indicate that this method has a more competitive performance in seismic applications compared with the conventional deconvolution and spectral whitening methods.

文摘Due to the complexity of marine environment,underwater acoustic signal will be affected by complex background noise during transmission.Underwater acoustic signal denoising is always a difficult problem in underwater acoustic signal processing.To obtain a better denoising effect,a new denoising method of underwater acoustic signal based on optimized variational mode decomposition by black widow optimization algorithm(BVMD),fluctuation-based dispersion entropy threshold improved by Otsu method(OFDE),cosine similarity stationary threshold(CSST),BVMD,fluctuation-based dispersion entropy(FDE),named BVMD-OFDE-CSST-BVMD-FDE,is proposed.In the first place,decompose the original signal into a series of intrinsic mode functions(IMFs)by BVMD.Afterwards,distinguish pure IMFs,mixed IMFs and noise IMFs by OFDE and CSST,and reconstruct pure IMFs and mixed IMFs to obtain primary denoised signal.In the end,decompose primary denoising signal into IMFs by BVMD again,use the FDE value to distinguish noise IMFs and pure IMFs,and reconstruct pure IMFs to obtain the final denoised signal.The proposed mothod has three advantages:(i)BVMD can adaptively select the decomposition layer and penalty factor of VMD.(ii)FDE and CS are used as double criteria to distinguish noise IMFs from useful IMFs,and Otsu algorithm and CSST algorithm can effectively avoid the error caused by manually selecting thresholds.(iii)Secondary decomposition can make up for the deficiency of primary decomposition and further remove a small amount of noise.The chaotic signal and real ship signal are denoised.The experiment result shows that the proposed method can effectively denoise.It improves the denoising effect after primary decomposition,and has good practical value.
文摘In signal processing and communication systems,digital filters are widely employed.In some circumstances,the reliability of those systems is crucial,necessitating the use of fault tolerant filter implementations.Many strategies have been presented throughout the years to achieve fault tolerance by utilising the structure and properties of the filters.As technology advances,more complicated systems with several filters become possible.Some of the filters in those complicated systems frequently function in parallel,for example,by applying the same filter to various input signals.Recently,a simple strategy for achieving fault tolerance that takes advantage of the availability of parallel filters was given.Many fault-tolerant ways that take advantage of the filter’s structure and properties have been proposed throughout the years.The primary idea is to use structured authentication scan chains to study the internal states of finite impulse response(FIR)components in order to detect and recover the exact state of faulty modules through the state of non-faulty modules.Finally,a simple solution of Double modular redundancy(DMR)based fault tolerance was developed that takes advantage of the availability of parallel filters for image denoising.This approach is expanded in this short to display how parallel filters can be protected using error correction codes(ECCs)in which each filter is comparable to a bit in a standard ECC.“Advanced error recovery for parallel systems,”the suggested technique,can find and eliminate hidden defects in FIR modules,and also restore the system from multiple failures impacting two FIR modules.From the implementation,Xilinx ISE 14.7 was found to have given significant error reduction capability in the fault calculations and reduction in the area which reduces the cost of implementation.Faults were introduced in all the outputs of the functional filters and found that the fault in every output is corrected.
文摘Intrusion detection systems(IDS)are one of the most promising ways for securing data and networks;In recent decades,IDS has used a variety of categorization algorithms.These classifiers,on the other hand,do not work effectively unless they are combined with additional algorithms that can alter the classifier’s parameters or select the optimal sub-set of features for the problem.Optimizers are used in tandem with classifiers to increase the stability and with efficiency of the classifiers in detecting invasion.These algorithms,on the other hand,have a number of limitations,particularly when used to detect new types of threats.In this paper,the NSL KDD dataset and KDD Cup 99 is used to find the performance of the proposed classifier model and compared;These two IDS dataset is preprocessed,then Auto Cryptographic Denoising(ACD)adopted to remove noise in the feature of the IDS dataset;the classifier algorithms,K-Means and Neural network classifies the dataset with adam optimizer.IDS classifier is evaluated by measuring performance measures like f-measure,recall,precision,detection rate and accuracy.The neural network obtained the highest classifying accuracy as 91.12%with drop-out function that shows the efficiency of the classifier model with drop-out function for KDD Cup99 dataset.Explaining their power and limitations in the proposed methodology that could be used in future works in the IDS area.

文摘The field seismic data is disturbed by the interferential information, which has low signal to noise ratio (SNR). That is disadvantage for seismic data interpretation. So it is important to remove the noise of seismic data. Independent component analysis (ICA) can remove most of the noise interference. However, ICA has some defects in noise reduction, because it needs some conditions that seismic data is independent reciprocally for denoising. To solve these defects, this paper proposes an improved ICA algorithm to noise reduction. Through simulation experiments, it can be obtained that the best decomposition levels of the new algorithm is 3. At last, the proposed improved ICA is applied to deal with the actual seismic data. The results show that it can effectively eliminate most of seismic noise such as random noise, linear interference, surface waves, and so on. The improved ICA is not only easy to denoising, but also has excellent mathematical theoretical properties.
文摘A translation-invariant based adaptive threshold denoising method formechanical impact signal is proposed. Compared with traditional wavelet denoising methods, itsuppresses pseudo-Gibbs phenomena in the neighborhood of signal discontinuities. To remedy thedrawbacks of conventional threshold functions, a new improved threshold function is introduced. Itpossesses more advantages than others. Moreover, based on utilizing characteristics of signal, aadaptive threshold selection procedure for impact signal is proposed. It is data-driven andlevel-dependent, therefore, it is more rational than other threshold estimation methods. Theproposed method is compared to alternative existing methods, and its superiority is revealed bysimulation and real data examples.
