Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of signal processing technology, and more specifically, relates to an acoustic emission signal denoising method based on multi-method fusion. Background Art

[0002] Acoustic emission (AE) technology is an important method for structural health monitoring. It detects defects such as cracks and cavitation by detecting ultrasonic signals generated by materials or equipment during operation. However, AE signals are often interfered with by various noises during acquisition, including environmental noise, electromagnetic noise, and mechanical vibration noise. This noise degrades signal quality and affects the accuracy of fault detection. Therefore, how to effectively remove noise while retaining the useful signal is a key issue in AE signal processing.

[0003] Existing denoising methods mainly include frequency domain filtering, wavelet transform, singular value decomposition (SVD), independent component analysis (ICA), etc. However, a single method often has limitations and is difficult to guarantee denoising effects in complex environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the defects of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide an acoustic emission signal denoising method based on multi-method fusion, aiming to solve the problem that a single method in the existing technology often has limitations and is difficult to ensure denoising effect in complex environments.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present application provides an acoustic emission signal denoising method based on multi-method fusion, the method comprising: Acquiring acoustic emission signals through an acoustic emission sensor; The collected acoustic emission signal is filtered through a bandpass filter to obtain a filtered signal, wherein the bandpass frequency range of the bandpass filter is determined by adjusting the frequency range based on multiple evaluation indicators, and the evaluation indicators are determined by analyzing the difference between a first signal sample and a second signal sample, wherein the first signal sample is an acoustic emission signal sample collected when there is no cavitation phenomenon, and the second signal sample is an acoustic emission signal sample collected when there is cavitation phenomenon; Based on the filtered signal, wavelet threshold denoising is performed to obtain the signal after removing the background noise; Based on the signal after removing the background noise, the target signal and the interference signal are separated through independent component analysis.

[0006] It can be understood that band-pass filtering can remove low-frequency and high-frequency irrelevant signals. Since the components of most frequency bands in the mixed signal are suppressed or removed, and the energy of the removed components accounts for a large proportion, the crack signal is enhanced and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved; then the wavelet threshold method can be used to remove background random noise. In the wavelet domain, the coefficient corresponding to the effective signal is large, while the coefficient corresponding to the noise is small. The coefficient corresponding to the noise in the wavelet domain still satisfies the Gaussian white noise distribution, so by processing the coefficients, the denoising effect can be achieved; then independent component analysis (ICA) is used to perform signal blind source separation (separating the target signal from the interference signal). The ICA method is not affected by the aliasing of frequency bands between source signals, nor is it affected by the interference of different source signal strengths.

[0007] Therefore, this application combines multiple denoising techniques, including frequency-domain filtering, wavelet threshold denoising, and independent component analysis (ICA), to achieve precise suppression of different noise types. This approach ensures effective denoising even in complex environments, effectively improving the signal-to-noise ratio of acoustic emission signals and ensuring signal quality and reliability.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the energy threshold is determined by the following formula: ; in, represents the energy threshold, is the preset coefficient, represents the energy of each independent component, Indicates the mean.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0020] In the specification and claims of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order of objects. For example, the terms "first signal sample" and "second signal sample" are used to distinguish different signal samples, rather than to describe a specific order of signal samples.

[0021] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more, for example, multiple processing units means two or more processing units, etc.; multiple elements means two or more elements, etc.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the acoustic emission signal denoising method based on multi-method fusion provided in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps (1) to (4).

[0025] Step (1): Use acoustic emission sensors to collect signals.

[0026] In this application, the acoustic emission sensor used has a sampling frequency of 1 MHz, so it will collect acoustic emission signals with a wide frequency band. In addition to crack signals and cavitation signals, there are also water flow impact noise, vibration noise, unit rotation noise, etc.

[0027] Step (2): Remove low-frequency and high-frequency irrelevant signals through bandpass filtering.

[0028] To filter out "clutter," frequency domain filtering and bandpass filtering are used. Signals in the frequency bands where non-crack and cavitation signals reside are removed, and "point-clearing" of irrelevant signal frequencies is performed. By suppressing or removing components in most frequency bands of the mixed signal, and since the removed components have a large energy share, the crack signal is enhanced, improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0029] Step (3): Use the wavelet threshold method to remove background random noise.

[0030] Filter out background noise. Since signals have a certain degree of continuity in space (or time domain), the modulus of the wavelet coefficients generated by the effective signal in the wavelet domain is often large. However, Gaussian white noise has no continuity in space (or time domain). Therefore, after the wavelet transform, the noise still appears highly random in the wavelet domain and is generally still considered Gaussian white noise. Therefore, in the wavelet domain, the coefficients corresponding to the effective signal are large, while the coefficients corresponding to the noise are small. The coefficients corresponding to the noise in the wavelet domain still satisfy the Gaussian white noise distribution, so by processing the coefficients, the denoising effect can be achieved.

[0031] Step (4): Use independent component analysis (ICA) to separate the target signal from the interference signal.

[0032] Blind source separation of signals occurs because crack and cavitation frequency bands contain components that are close to or overlap with their own signal frequencies, thus interfering with the desired signal. Frequency domain filtering cannot be used to prevent crack signal removal. Therefore, to address the issues of overlapping signal bands and the low energy content of the signal to be extracted, ICA analysis is employed. This method is immune to the effects of inter-band aliasing between source signals and interference from varying source signal strengths.

[0033] The basic principle is: assume that the independent component ,in As a useful independent component, is the noise variable, that is, the number of mixed signals is k+l. is a set of observation signals (where ), Each component is composed of The independent signal sources in are linearly combined through the mixing matrix A, that is: ; The basic idea of ICA is to separate the source signals from the observation signal X by unmixing the coefficient matrix W when the coefficient matrix A and the source matrix S are unknown, so that the output Y is the optimal approximation of S, that is: ; Therefore, ICA is actually an optimization calculation under a certain independence criterion. Here A is a mixing matrix that combines the true independent components and the noise covariance structure. Therefore, find m (where ) directions with extreme non-Gaussianity can be used to estimate the true independent components. The remaining independent components cannot be estimated because they are noise variables and, in practice, do not need to be estimated. Finally, a (pseudo) inverse transform is performed on each independent component to obtain a signal containing only that component.

[0034] The following is an example to illustrate the acoustic emission signal denoising method based on multi-method fusion provided by this application.

[0035] Step (1): Use an acoustic emission sensor to collect the acoustic emission signal of the turbine unit. The sampling frequency of the acoustic emission sensor is The following relationship must be satisfied: ; in is the acoustic emission frequency generated when a fault occurs in the turbine unit. Generally between 20kHz~400kHZ At least 1000kHZ.

[0036] Step (2), removing irrelevant frequency band signals by bandpass filtering, includes the following sub-steps: step (2-1) to step (2-9).

[0037] Step (2-1): Collect the signal when the turbine is operating normally (without cavitation) and the signal when cavitation occurs , and record the sampling frequency .

[0038] Step (2-2): Fourier transform is performed to obtain spectrum information. Fourier transform is performed on the two types of signals to obtain spectrum information: ; in, represents the Fourier transform.

[0039] Steps (2-3): Manually select the initial upper and lower bandpass limits.

[0040] Select the widest range: Based on the Fourier transformed spectrum, manually select the widest initial bandpass range to cover all frequency bands that may contain cavitation differences. This range should be as wide as possible to avoid missing any potential difference frequency bands.

[0041] For example, based on the spectrum comparison difference: by visually observing the spectrum graph of the two types of signals, select a frequency band so that the spectrum difference within the frequency band is more obvious. For example, if the energy of the cavitation signal in a certain frequency band is significantly higher than that of the normal signal, or the frequency distribution is significantly different, then this frequency band can be used as the initial bandpass range. Assuming that the spectrum difference is mainly concentrated between 200Hz and 800Hz, you can choose and as the initial range.

[0042] Steps (2-4): Calculate evaluation indicators.

[0043] The following four evaluation indicators are calculated, dimensionlessized and standardized.

[0044] (1) Spectrum overlap: ; The smaller the spectrum overlap, the more significant the signal difference.

[0045] (2) Frequency center of gravity difference : Calculate the frequency centroid: ; Frequency center of gravity difference: .

[0046] (3) Mutual Information I: ; in, is the joint probability density, and is the marginal probability density, given by , Normalized. The smaller the mutual information I, the more significant the signal difference.

[0047] (4) Spectral energy difference : Calculate the spectrum energy: ; Energy Difference: .

[0048] Steps (2-5): Dimensionless processing and standardization.

[0049] Normalize the four indicator values to the range [0,1]: ; in, Represents any indicator, and are the minimum and maximum values of the indicator respectively.

[0050] Step (2-6): Calculate comprehensive evaluation indicators.

[0051] The weight of each indicator is 0.25, and the comprehensive evaluation index is calculated: ; Steps (2-7): Iteratively adjust the upper and lower limits of the frequency domain.

[0052] (1) Adjustment upper limit: From the initial upper limit Initially, gradually reduce the upper limit by one step each time (e.g., △f = 10 Hz) and calculate the comprehensive evaluation index S. If S increases, continue to reduce the upper limit; otherwise, stop reducing the upper limit and record the current optimal upper limit.

[0053] (2) Adjust the lower limit: From the initial lower limit Initially, gradually increase the lower limit by one step each time (e.g., △f = 10 Hz) and calculate the comprehensive evaluation index S. If S increases, continue increasing the lower limit; otherwise, stop increasing the lower limit and record the current optimal lower limit.

[0054] (3) Adjustment strategy: When adjusting the upper and lower limits, alternate between decreasing the upper limit and increasing the lower limit to ensure the optimal range is not missed. For example, first decrease the upper limit, then increase the lower limit, alternating between them. Since S changes linearly, the adjustment is considered appropriate when S no longer increases significantly. After each adjustment, recalculate the spectrum information and evaluation index until S no longer changes significantly.

[0055] Steps (2-8): Repeat the optimization process.

[0056] Reduce the step size: After finding a better upper and lower limit range, reduce the step size (for example, from △f=10Hz to △f=5Hz) to further optimize the upper and lower limits.

[0057] Steps (2-9): Repeat the optimization process.

[0058] When the comprehensive evaluation index S no longer increases significantly, that is, the change of the comprehensive evaluation index S is within a preset range, it can be understood that the comprehensive evaluation index S tends to be stable at this time, and the final upper and lower limits are recorded. and , is the lower limit of the bandpass frequency range allowed to pass by the bandpass filter, The upper limit of the bandpass frequency range that the bandpass filter allows to pass.

[0059] Step (3): Perform wavelet threshold denoising on the signal finally obtained in step (2), including the following sub-steps, step (3-1) to step (3-3).

[0060] Step (3-1): Perform discrete wavelet transform (DWT) on the noisy signal f(t) (the signal obtained after filtering in step (2)) to decompose it into low-frequency information (approximate components) and high-frequency information (detail components) of different scales.

[0061] Step (3-2): Threshold processing, threshold processing is performed on the high-frequency wavelet coefficients (D, or detail coefficients), and the coefficients greater than the threshold are selected. To remove noise.

[0062] This application adopts an effective improvement method, in which different thresholds are set for each layer of wavelet coefficients to improve signal fidelity. The threshold function uses the Garrote threshold function, and the calculation formula is: ; Where: is the threshold, is the number of decomposition layers, is the root mean square error of the wavelet decomposition coefficients, and N is the length of the wavelet decomposition coefficients.

[0063] ; Where: is a symbolic function; is the regulating factor, is the detail coefficient (high-frequency wavelet coefficient) of wavelet decomposition, specifically The first decomposition layer The detail coefficient, Represents the detail coefficient after threshold processing.

[0064] Step (3-3): Inverse wavelet transform.

[0065] The high-frequency wavelet coefficients after threshold processing Perform inverse wavelet transform (IDWT) on the unprocessed low-frequency wavelet coefficient A to reconstruct the denoised signal or image: .

[0066] Step (4): For the signal after wavelet threshold denoising, ICA is performed to separate the target signal (clean signal) and the noise signal to eliminate the influence of frequency band overlap, including the following sub-steps, step (4-1) to step (4-3).

[0067] Step (4-1): Assume that the signal processed in step (3) is the input signal, and the input signal matrix is: .

[0068] Step (4-2): Perform independent component analysis (ICA) and use the FastICA algorithm to decompose the signal into independent components. The steps of this method are as follows.

[0069] (1) Establishing ICA model: ICA assumes that the observed signal is a linear mixture of multiple independent signals: ; in is the observed noisy signal matrix, is the source signal matrix (target signal + noise), is the unknown mixing matrix.

[0070] The goal of ICA is to find a separation matrix W (or unmixing coefficient matrix) such that: ; Make the portion The statistical independence between them is maximized. The separation matrix W is iteratively estimated by the ICA algorithm according to the independence maximization criterion (negative entropy).

[0071] (2) Optimization of independence: Independent components are separated by maximizing non-Gaussianity or minimizing mutual information. FastICA uses negentropy as the independence measure: ; where represents a hypothesized Gaussian distributed source signal, which is used to measure and compare the non-Gaussianity of the true source signal S. H(S) is the entropy of the signal, and the entropy of a Gaussian signal is the largest. Therefore, the goal is to find independent signals far from the Gaussian distribution.

[0072] Step (4-3): Select useful independent components and perform denoising using the energy threshold method. The steps of this method are as follows.

[0073] After ICA decomposition, each independent component has different energies: ; where represents the total energy of the i-th independent component is the amplitude of this component at time t.

[0074] Assume that: Signal components usually have higher energies because they carry the main useful information, and noise components usually have lower energies because the randomness of noise makes its power lower.

[0075] (1) Calculate the energy of each independent component: .

[0076] (2) Set the energy threshold T: The threshold can be set according to the mean or percentile of the energy distribution: ; where is an empirical coefficient (such as 0.1 - 0.3). It can also take a certain percentile (such as 20%) of all ; If < T, then this component is considered noise.

[0077] (3) Screen independent components: Only retain the components with ≥ T, and set the components with energy lower than the threshold to zero to remove noise.
