Enhanced partial discharge signal denoising using dispersion entropy optimized variational mode decomposition

This paper presents a new approach for denoising Partial Discharge (PD) signals using a hybrid algorithm combining the adaptive decomposition technique with Entropy measures and Group-Sparse Total Variation (GSTV). Initially, the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) technique is applied to decompose a noisy sensor data into the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), Mutual Information (MI) analysis between IMFs is carried out to set the mode length K. Then, the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) technique decomposes a noisy sensor data into K number of Band Limited IMFs (BLIMFs). The BLIMFs are separated as noise, noise-dominant, and signal-dominant BLIMFs by calculating the MI between BLIMFs. Eventually, the noise BLIMFs are discarded from further processing, noise-dominant BLIMFs are denoised using GSTV, and the signal BLIMFs are added to reconstruct the output signal. The regularization parameter [Formula: see text] for GSTV is automatically selected based on the values of Dispersion Entropy of the noise-dominant BLIMFs. The effectiveness of the proposed denoising method is evaluated in terms of performance metrics such as Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Root Mean Square Error, and Correlation Coefficient, which are are compared to EMD variants, and the results demonstrated that the proposed approach is able to effectively denoise the synthetic Blocks, Bumps, Doppler, Heavy Sine, PD pulses and real PD signals

A New Underwater Acoustic Signal Denoising Technique Based on CEEMDAN, Mutual Information, Permutation Entropy, and Wavelet Threshold Denoising

Owing to the complexity of the ocean background noise, underwater acoustic signal denoising is one of the hotspot problems in the field of underwater acoustic signal processing. In this paper, we propose a new technique for underwater acoustic signal denoising based on complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN), mutual information (MI), permutation entropy (PE), and wavelet threshold denoising. CEEMDAN is an improved algorithm of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and ensemble EMD (EEMD). First, CEEMDAN is employed to decompose noisy signals into many intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). IMFs can be divided into three parts: noise IMFs, noise-dominant IMFs, and real IMFs. Then, the noise IMFs can be identified on the basis of MIs of adjacent IMFs; the other two parts of IMFs can be distinguished based on the values of PE. Finally, noise IMFs were removed, and wavelet threshold denoising is applied to noise-dominant IMFs; we can obtain the final denoised signal by combining real IMFs and denoised noise-dominant IMFs. Simulation experiments were conducted by using simulated data, chaotic signals, and real underwater acoustic signals; the proposed denoising technique performs better than other existing denoising techniques, which is beneficial to the feature extraction of underwater acoustic signal
