Frequency domain analysis and the application for extracting electroencephalogram signal characteristic waves

A new quantitative analysis method to describe the dynamic variation of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals was proposed. Based on the Fourier transformation, the method is called Fourier multi resolution analysis (FMRA). FMRA decomposes the frequency domain with a binary system and can resolve EEG signals into the basic rhythms of the four waves to study the dynamic characteristics of EEG signal rhythms. FMRA has clear physical meaning, and can obtain more information than wavelet multi resolution analysis does. FMRA can extract perfectly the rhythmic characteristics of EEG signals in the time and frequency domains.

Application of the Wavelet Transform to the Pulse Signal Analysis of Druggers

According to the randomness of human pulse signals,the multiresolution analysis of the wavelet transform is used to analyze such signals.Its purpose is to extract the abnormal information from the pulse signals of heroin druggers and to obtain the primary judgment criterion which can be used to identify druggers from healthy persons.The scale spectrum based on the wavelet transform of pulse signals carries the important characteristic information of the health situation of human body.The pulse signals of 15 heroin druggers and 15 healthy persons are analyzed and the scale spectrum and the total signal energy of every signal are extracted.It is found that the ratio between the sum(i.e.,scale-wavelet energy) of the scale spectrum in a specific scale-time region and the total signal energy for heroin druggers is generally higher than that of healthy persons.Using the percentage of the ratio between the scale-wavelet energy in the specific scale-time region and the total signal energy as characteristic parameter,a critical parameter is determined that is used to classify heroin druggers and healthy persons.Thus,all of the 15 healthy persons are identified correctly from 30 subjects.Only two heroin persons are misjudged.The experiment results of classification show that the method presented is feasible and effective for detecting the pulse abnormalities of heroin druggers.     

Pulse Signal Analysis of Druggers with the Wavelet and Neural Network

The most significant difference between the human pulse signals collected from heroin druggers and healthy persons is at their amplitude waveforms as time functions. That is, the amplitude values and change rates of two types of signals, within a particular time range, appear different features. However, the partial components of the scaling and wavelet coefficients of the pulse signals obtained by using wavelet transform can reveal such key features. The pulse signals of 15 heroin druggers and 15 healthy persons are analyzed through using the muhiresolution analysis of wavelet transform. By using db2 orthogonal wavelet, every pulse signal is decomposed into three levels and the absolute values of the sixth component of scaling coefficients and the second component of the wavelet coefficients in the third level are combined to form a feature vector. A probabilistic neural network with good detection performance is successfully designed for automatically detecting 30 feature vectors. During the network design, 20 feature vectors are used as training samples. The remained 10 feature vectors are used as testing samples. Based on these steps, 15 heroin druggers and 15 healthy persons are all correctly identified. In other words, the detection rate arrives at 100%. druggers.

Wavelet Packet Decomposition Based on Entropy Threshold for White-noise Rejection in PD Signal

This paper analyzes the different characteristics of white-noise interference in the signals of partial discharge (PD) after wavelet transform. There is high value in lots of scales for PD and white-noise interference is to zero with increasing scale. The threshold is set for wavelet coefficient in all scales. If the coefficient of signal is higher than the threshold, it is PD signal. Otherwise it is noise interference. A threshold-based wavelet packet transform (WPT) algorithm is put forward to suppress white noise interference in PD signals. The results testifies that it has a favorable adaptability to extract PD signals using WPT.

With quadrature mirror filters (QMF) associated with popular wavelet bases, the fast wavelet decomposition and reconstruction for signals were implemented. Combined with virtual instrument technique, the FWT analysis system for signals was successfully developed. The system can break up signal not only into approximations, which are the high-scale and low-frequency components of the signal, but also into details which are the low-scale and high-frequency components. Especially it can identify singularity signal, which contain some important message of equipment condition and fault, and refine signal from noisy signal, which is corrupted by noise.

The wavelet transform has been proven to be a powerful and efficient tool for processing signal due to this character. This paper introduces the de-noising principles of the wavelet transform. It is proved to be an effective method by the simulating analysis.     

Application limitation of the Hilbert Huang transform to earthquake ground motion analysis

We presented herein detailed comparison between emulational and real earthquake signals. Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) were regarded as products of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) during Hilbert Huang transform (HHT) processing. This could be ascribed primarily to the failure of separating the correct frequency from mixed and similar frequency components. It was difficult to remove IMF signal from the earthquake record and to obtain correct earthquake energy distribution in frequency. Furthermore, The Hilbert transform sometimes induced erroneous instantaneous frequencies. Thus, care must be taken in the application of HHT in earthquake engineering. The combination of the Hilbert transform with wavelet transform could produce better analysis of earthquake record.

The authors first introduce the direct algorithm of the WT, which is numerical algorithm obtained from the original formula of the wavelet transform by directly numericalizing. Then some conclusions are drawn on the direct algorithm. The examples are the sampling principle and technology for the wavelets, the limitation of the scale range of the wavelets and the measures to solve the edge phenomenal in the direct algorithm of the discrete wavelet transform, and some conclusions in the direct algorithm of the continuous wavelet transform.

In the end, the authors give some typical examples for the application of the virtual analyzer. These examples show that the analyzer can be applied in many situations.

The Mexican hat mother wavelet used in optic realization is analysed. Its characteristics on time frequency domain localization, accurate reconstruction condition, regularity order and orthonormality are discussed. The error concept for the Mexican hat wavelet that the non tensor product two dimensional form of mother wavelet is obtained from the turning of its one dimensional form is corrected. The reason is explained for that the Mexican hat mother wavelet can't be used in conventional discrete wavelet transform for image data compression,but when it is used in 2 D image wavelet transform realized by optic way, it features excellent energy localization.
