[0024] The specific process of empirical mode decomposition of the present application is as follows:
[0025] Firstly, cubic spline interpolation is performed on the maximum value points and the minimum value points of the reflected signal respectively to obtain the envelope function of the maximum value points and the envelope function of the minimum value points . The cubic spline interpolation of the present application is used to construct a smooth piecewise cubic function

[0037] make Repeat the above search The process, for Then perform intrinsic mode decomposition, and we have The intrinsic mode functions after mode decomposition are obtained. until the residual component function If it becomes a monotonic function, the decomposition stops.
