Blind fault detection and source identification using higher order statistics for impacting systems

Blind fault detection and source identification using higher order statistics for impacting systems
Blind fault detection and source identification using higher order statistics for impacting systems

Classical deconvolution methods for source identification can only be used if the transfer function of the system is known. For many practical situations, however, this information is not accessible and/or is time varying. The problem addressed is that of reconstruction of the original input from only the measured signal. This is known as 'blind deconvolution'. By using Higher Order Statistics (HOS), the restoration of the input signal is established through the maximisation of higher order moments (cumulants) with respect to the characteristics of the signals concerned.

This paper demonstrates the restoration of input signals that have a pulse-like form. From only the measured signal (an output of the unknown system), its normalised cumulant is constructed and employed to calculate the coefficients of the inverse filter through both a Wiener approach and global optimisation. This filter is then convolved with the measured signal to give the restored signal.

The inverse filter is determined iteratively and aspects affecting convergence and performance that are investigated include: The choice of the initial inverse filter and, order determination of the filter for both nonrecursive and recursive deconvolution operators. An experimental verification is carried out for the restoration of our impacting signal arising in the response of a cantilever beam with an end stop when randomly excited.

Techniques for the detection of non-Gaussian impacting signal from the observed signal through the higher order (>2) cumulant tensor (known as 'Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition, HOSVD') are introduced and discussed.

Abstract

Classical deconvolution methods for source identification can only be used if the transfer function of the system is known. For many practical situations, however, this information is not accessible and/or is time varying. The problem addressed is that of reconstruction of the original input from only the measured signal. This is known as 'blind deconvolution'. By using Higher Order Statistics (HOS), the restoration of the input signal is established through the maximisation of higher order moments (cumulants) with respect to the characteristics of the signals concerned.

This paper demonstrates the restoration of input signals that have a pulse-like form. From only the measured signal (an output of the unknown system), its normalised cumulant is constructed and employed to calculate the coefficients of the inverse filter through both a Wiener approach and global optimisation. This filter is then convolved with the measured signal to give the restored signal.

The inverse filter is determined iteratively and aspects affecting convergence and performance that are investigated include: The choice of the initial inverse filter and, order determination of the filter for both nonrecursive and recursive deconvolution operators. An experimental verification is carried out for the restoration of our impacting signal arising in the response of a cantilever beam with an end stop when randomly excited.

Techniques for the detection of non-Gaussian impacting signal from the observed signal through the higher order (>2) cumulant tensor (known as 'Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition, HOSVD') are introduced and discussed.
