AMicroseismic Signal Denoising Algorithm Combining VMD and Wavelet Threshold Denoising Optimized by BWOA

The denoising of microseismic signals is a prerequisite for subsequent analysis and research.In this research,a new microseismic signal denoising algorithm called the Black Widow Optimization Algorithm(BWOA)optimized VariationalMode Decomposition(VMD)jointWavelet Threshold Denoising(WTD)algorithm(BVW)is proposed.The BVW algorithm integrates VMD and WTD,both of which are optimized by BWOA.Specifically,this algorithm utilizes VMD to decompose the microseismic signal to be denoised into several Band-Limited IntrinsicMode Functions(BLIMFs).Subsequently,these BLIMFs whose correlation coefficients with the microseismic signal to be denoised are higher than a threshold are selected as the effective mode functions,and the effective mode functions are denoised using WTD to filter out the residual low-and intermediate-frequency noise.Finally,the denoised microseismic signal is obtained through reconstruction.The ideal values of VMD parameters and WTD parameters are acquired by searching with BWOA to achieve the best VMD decomposition performance and solve the problem of relying on experience and requiring a large workload in the application of the WTD algorithm.The outcomes of simulated experiments indicate that this algorithm is capable of achieving good denoising performance under noise of different intensities,and the denoising performance is significantly better than the commonly used VMD and Empirical Mode Decomposition(EMD)algorithms.The BVW algorithm is more efficient in filtering noise,the waveform after denoising is smoother,the amplitude of the waveform is the closest to the original signal,and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and the root mean square error after denoising are more satisfying.The case based on Fankou Lead-Zinc Mine shows that for microseismic signals with different intensities of noise monitored on-site,compared with VMD and EMD,the BVW algorithm ismore efficient in filtering noise,and the SNR after denoising is higher.

New Wavelet Threshold Denoising Method in Noisy Blind Source Separation

In general conditions, most blind source separation algorithms are established on noisy-free model and ignore the noise that affects the quality of separated sources. Firstly, this paper introduces an improved natural gradient algorithm based on bias removal technology to estimate the demixing matrix under noisy environment. Then the discrete wavelet transform technology is applied to the separated signals to further remove noise. In order to improve the separation effect, this paper analyzes the deficiency of hard threshold and soft threshold, and proposes a new wavelet threshold function based on the wavelet decomposition and reconfiguration. The simulations have verified that this method improves the signal noise ratio （SNR） of the separation results and the separation precision.

Range-spread target detector via coherent energy accumulation and block thresholding denoising

A range-spread target(RST)detector is proposed for wideband radar.The detector,referred to as a conjugate multiplication and block thresholding(CMBT)detector,is simple for implementation in existing radar systems and has the advantage of minor calculation.First,the target energy of adjacent stretched echoes is coherently accumulated via conjugate multiplication and Fourier transform operations.It is noted that conjugate multiplication of two complex Gaussian distributed noise is complex double Gaussian distributed,leading to a signal to noise ratio(SNR)loss.Subsequently,considering the sparsity and clustering characteristics of the conjugate multiplication amplitude spectrum(CMAS),the block thresholding method is adopted for denoising,where the noise and cross-terms are adaptively smoothed,and the signal terms can be basically preserved.Finally,numerical simulation results for both synthetic and real radar data validate the effectiveness of the proposed detector,comparing with the conventional integration detector(ID),the spatial scattering density(SSD)detector,and waveform entropy(WE)and waveform contrast(WC)based detectors.

Fault diagnosis method of rolling bearing based onthreshold denoising synchrosqueezing transform and CNN

The rolling bearing vibration signal is non-stationary and is easily disturbed by background noise,so it is difficult to accurately diagnose bearing faults.A fault diagnosis method of rolling bearing based on the time-frequency threshold denoising synchrosqueezing transform(TDSST)and convolutional neural network(CNN)is proposed.Since the traditional methods of wavelet threshold denoising and wavelet adjacent coefficient denoising are greatly affected by the estimation accuracy of noise variance,a time-frequency denoising method based on the STFT spectral correlation coefficient threshold optimization is adopted,which is combined with a synchrosqueezing transform.The ability of the TDSST to reduce noise and improve time-frequency resolution was verified by simulated impact fault signals of rolling bearings.Finally,the CNN is utilized to diagnose the time-frequency diagrams obtained by the TDSST.The diagnostic results of the rolling bearing experimental data show that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of diagnosis.When the SNR of the bearing signal is larger than 0 dB,the accuracy is over 95%,even when the SNR reduces to-4 dB,the accuracy is still around 80%.Moreover,the standard deviation of multiple test results is small,which means that the method has good robustness.

Denoising of X-ray pulsar observed profile using biorthogonal lifting wavelet transform

In X-ray pulsar-based navigation, strong X-ray background noise leads to a low signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） of the observed profile, which consequently makes it very difficult to obtain an accurate pulse phase that directly determines the navigation precision. This signifies the necessity of denoising of the observed profile. Considering that the ultimate goal of denoising is to enhance the pulse phase estimation, a profile denoising algorithm is proposed by fusing the biorthogonal lifting wavelet transform of the linear phase characteristic with the thresholding technique. The statistical properties of X-ray background noise after epoch folding are studied. Then a wavelet-scale dependent threshold is introduced to overcome correlations between wavelet coefficients. Moreover, a modified hyperbola shrinking function is presented to remove the impulsive oscillations of the observed profile. The results of numerical simulations and real data experiments indicate that the proposed method can effectively improve SNR of the observed profile and pulse phase estimation accuracy, especially in short observation durations. And it also outperforms the Donoho thresholding strategy normally used in combination with the orthogonal discrete wavelet transform.

Smooth pulse recovery based on hybrid wavelet threshold denoising and first derivative adaptive smoothing filter

Based on the pulse-shaping unit in the front end of high-power laser facilities,we propose a new hybrid scheme in a closed-loop control system including wavelet threshold denoising for pretreatment and a first derivative adaptive smoothing filter for smooth pulse recovery,so as to effectively restrain the influence of electrical noise and FM-to-AM modulation in the time–power curve,and enhance the calibration accuracy of the pulse shape in the feedback control system.The related simulation and experiment results show that the proposed scheme can obtain a better shaping effect on the high-contrast temporal shape in comparison with the cumulative average algorithm and orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm combined with a traditional smoothing filter.The implementation of the hybrid scheme mechanism increased the signal-to-noise ratio of the laser pulse from about 11 dB to 30 dB,and the filtered pulse is smooth without modulation,with smoothness of about 98.8%.

Application of a novel constrained wavelet threshold denoising method in ensemble-based background-error variance

A more efficiem noise filtering technique is needed in ensemble data assimilation, to improve traditional spectral filtering methods that cannot reflect the local characteristics of spatial scales. In this paper, we present the design of a novel constrained wavelet threshold denoising method （CWTDNM） by introducing an improved threshold value and a new constraining parameter. The proposed method aims to filter noise swamped over different scales. We prepared an ideal experiment object based on the two-dimensional barotropic vorticity equation. A suitable wavelet basis function （i.e., Dbl 1） and the optimal number of decomposition levels （i.e., five） were first selected. The results show that, given the wavelet coefficients are constrained by the parameter, the CWTDNM can produce better filtering results with the smallest root mean square error （RMSE） compared to similar methods. In addition, the filtering accuracy of 10 ensemble sample variances using the CWTDNM is equivalent to that estimated directly from 80 ensemble samples, but with the runtime reduced to approximately one-seventh. Furthermore, a large peak signal-to-noise ratio, which implies a low RMSE, suggests that the proposed method suitably preserves most of the information after denoising.

Wavelet denoising and nonlinear analysis of solids concentration signal in circulating fluidized bed riser

Particles,particle aggregates,and reactor walls complicate the dynamic microstructures of circulating fluidized beds(CFBs).Using local solids concentration data from a 10-m-high and 76.2-mm-inner-diameter riser with FCC(Fluid Catalytic Cracking)particles(dp=67μm,ρp=1500 kg/m^3),this paper presents an improved denoising process for use before nonlinear chaos analysis.Using the soft-threshold denoising method in the wavelet domain with experimental empty bed signals as base data to estimate the denoising threshold,an efficient denoising algorithm was proposed and used for the dynamic signals in CFBs.Analysis shows that for the local solids concentration time series,high-frequency fluctuations may be one of the system properties,while noise interference can also make a low-frequency contribution.An exact denoising method is needed in such cases.The correlation dimension and Kolmogorov entropy were calculated using denoised data and the results showed that the particle behavior in the CFB is highly complex.Generally,two correlation dimensions coexist in a low-flux CFB.The first correlation dimension is low and corresponds to small-scale fluctuations that reveal a high-frequency pseudo-periodic movement,but the second correlation dimension is high and corresponds to large-scale fluctuations that indicate multi-frequency movements,including particle aggregation and breakage.At the same axial level,the first correlation dimensions change slightly with radial position,and the main tendency is high at the center but slightly lower near the wall.However,the second correlation dimensions show large changes along the radial direction,are again high in the core region,and after r/R≥0.6(r as radial position,R as radius of the riser),the dimensions clearly drop down.This indicates that the particle behavior is more complex and has higher degrees of freedom at the center,but clusters near the wall are restrained to some degree because of wall effects.

Fault diagnosis of railway point machines based on wavelet transform and artificial immune algorithm

Aiming at the current problems of high failure rate and low diagnostic efficiency of railway point machines(RPMs)in the railway industry,a short-time method of fault diagnosis is proposed.Considering the effect of noise on power signals in the data acquisition process of the railway centralized signaling monitoring(CSM)system,this study utilizes wavelet threshold denoising to eliminate interference.The results show that the accuracy of fault diagnosis can be improved by 4.4% after denoising the power signals.Then in order to attain a lighter weight and shorten the running time of the diagnosis model,Mallat wavelet decomposition and artificial immune algorithm are applied to RPM fault diagnosis.Finally,voluminous experiments using veritable power signals collected from CSM are introduced,which show that combining these methods can procure higher precision of RPMs and curtail fault diagnosis time.This substantiates the validity and feasibility of the presented approach.
