However, end effect occurs in HHT, which leads to a series of problems such as modal aliasing and false IMF （Intrinsic Mode Func- tion）. To counter such problems in HHT, a new method is put forward to process signal by combining the general- ized regression neural network （GRNN） with the bound- ary local characteristic-scale continuation （BLCC）. Firstly, the improved EMD （Empirical Mode Decompo- sition） method is used to inhibit the end effect problem that appeared in conventional EMD. Secondly, the gen- erated IMF components are used in HHT. Simulation and measurement experiment for the cases of time domain, frequency domain and related parameters of Hilbert- Huang spectrum show that the method described here can restrain the end effect compared with the results obtained through mirror continuation, as the absolute percentage of the maximum mean of the beginning end point offset and the terminal point offset are reduced from 30.113% and 27.603% to 0.510% and 6.039% respectively, thus reducing the modal aliasing, and eliminating the false IMF components of HHT. The proposed method caneffectively inhibit end effect, reduce modal aliasing and false IMF components, and show the real structure of signal components accuratelX.展开更多

Enclosed within this region are different wave modes associated with classes of boundaries which have been determined by different methods. The efficacy of Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is based on the conditionality of allowing for the local analysis of frequencies, which presents the physical meaning of the original signal at that instant. The observed data have been taken from Cluster II Fluxgate Magnetometer (FGM) instrument that provides advantage for the analysis in three dimensions. The result compares favourably with instantaneous frequencies computed using simple Hilbert transform (SHT) with electric field measurements of Cluster II mission already carried out in literatures. The result of this study has shown that HHT provides the best applicability in the magnetosheath data analysis than the wavelet and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The application of HHT based on its advantages over other methods is viewed to be very critical in the analysis of multi-frequency signals where different frequencies could be determined distinctively at a point.展开更多

The empirical mode decomposition is the key part of HHT, while its algorithm was protected by NASA as a US patent, which limits the wide application among the scientific community. Two approaches, mirror periodic and extrema extending methods, have been developed for handling the end effects of empirical mode decomposition. The implementation of the HHT is realized in detail to widen the application. The detailed comparison of the results from two methods with that from Huang et al. (1998, 1999), and the comparison between two methods are presented. Generally, both methods reproduce faithful results as those of Huang et al. For mirror periodic method (MPM), the data are extended once forever. Ideally, it is a way for handling the end effects of the HHT, especially for the signal that has symmetric waveform. The extrema extending method (EEM) behaves as good as MPM, and it is better than MPM for the signal that has strong asymmetric waveform. However, it has to perform extrema envelope extending in every shifting process.展开更多

Methods: By using the pulse detection system, pulse graphs in CHD patients, patients without CHD and "health" adults were collected and compared. Then characters of the pulse signal were analyzed with Hilbert-Huang transformation routine (HHT) and time-domain method respectively. Results: There existed characteristic change in pulse graph in CHD. ① h1,h3,h4,h3/h1,t,t5/t4 in time domain parameters of pulse graph increased and w1 was widened. ② 44% of C2 wave in HHT display showed chaotic and disorderly wave and irregularly wave amplitude in CHD. And 72% of C5 Wave exhibited in irregular wave with average wave amplitude over 10 gram-forces. These changes were significantly different from health adults. Conclusion: Characteristic wave of pulse graph extracted with methods of time domain or HHT routine might be considered as proofs for diagnosis and differentiation in CHD. Our researches prognosticate that pulse diagnosis can be used as an ancillary determination in occurrence of CHD for reasons of the advantage of convenient operation and non-invasion.展开更多
