Fault degradation processes are, in general,slowly varying and can be modeled by autoregressive models. However, industrial processes always show typical nonstationary nature, which may bring two challenges: how to capture fault degradation information and how to model nonstationary processes. To address the critical issues, a novel fault degradation modeling and online fault prognostic strategy is developed in this paper. First, a fault degradation-oriented slow feature analysis(FDSFA) algorithm is proposed to extract fault degradation directions along which candidate fault degradation features are extracted. The trend ability assessment is then applied to select major fault degradation features. Second, a key fault degradation factor(KFDF) is calculated to characterize the fault degradation tendency by combining major fault degradation features and their stability weighting factors. After that, a time-varying regression model with temporal smoothness regularization is established considering nonstationary characteristics. On the basis of updating strategy, an online fault prognostic model is further developed by analyzing and modeling the prediction errors. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated with a real industrial process.展开更多

Firstly, by fuzzy C-means clustering, some samples are selected from the training sample set to constitute a sample subset. Then, the obtained samples subset is used to execute SKPCA for extracting basic features of the training samples. Finally, using the extracted basic features, the AWNN aerodynamic model is established. The experimental results show that, in 50 times repetitive modeling, the modeling ability of the method proposed is better than that of other six methods. It only needs about half the modeling time of KPCA-AWNN under a close prediction accuracy, and can easily determine the model parameters. This enables it to be effective and feasible to construct the aerodynamic modeling for flight vehicles.展开更多

A blind separation method for space-time block code （STBC） systems is proposed by using the ordinary independent component analysis （ICA）. This method cannot work when specific complex modulations are employed since the assumption of mutual independence cannot be satisfied. The analysis shows that source signals, which are group-wise independent and use multi-dimensional ICA （MICA） instead of ordinary ICA, can be applied in this case. Utilizing the block-diagonal structure of the cumulant matrices, the JADE algorithm is generalized to the multidimensional case to separate the received data into mutually independent groups. Compared with ordinary ICA algorithms, the proposed method does not introduce additional ambiguities. Simulations show that the proposed method overcomes the drawback and achieves a better performance without utilizing coding information than channel estimation based algorithms.展开更多

However there is some redundancy among the high dimensions of the original samples and the main features of the samples may be picked up first to improve the performance of SVC. A principal component analysis （PCA） is employed to reduce the feature dimensions of the original samples and the pre-selected main features efficiently, and an SVC is constructed in the selected feature space to improve the learning speed and identification rate of SVC. Furthermore, a heuristic genetic algorithm-based automatic model selection is proposed to determine the hyperparameters of SVC to evaluate the performance of the learning machines. Experiments performed on the Heart and Adult benchmark data sets demonstrate that the proposed PCA-based SVC not only reduces the test time drastically, but also improves the identify rates effectively.展开更多

A method based on the Gabor filter is proposed to estimate the direction navigability of the geomagnetic field. First,the DSMFs are extracted based on the Gabor filter’s responses.Second, in the view of pattern recognition, the classification accuracy in fault diagnosis is introduced as the objective function of the hybrid particle swarm optimization(HPSO) algorithm to optimize the Gabor filter’s parameters. With its guidance, the DSMFs are extracted. Finally, a direction navigability analysis model is established with the support vector machine(SVM), and the performances of the models under different objective functions are discussed. Simulation results show the parameters of the Gabor filter have a significant influence on the DSMFs, which, in turn, affects the analysis results of direction navigability. Moreover, the risk of misclassification can be effectively reduced by using the analysis model with optimal Gabor filter parameters. The proposed method is not restricted in geomagnetic navigation, and it also can be used in other fields such as terrain matching and gravity navigation.展开更多
