基于LabVIEW的超声信号小波阈值去噪方法

图形化编程软件LabVIEW具有强大的信号采集功能,但对于需要进行大量数据运算处理的复杂应用就显得力不从心。数学工具软件MATLAB强大的计算功能及较高的编程效率可以弥补LabVIEW开发的不足。文中结合两者软件的优点,采用混合编程的方法进行实际工程的去噪处理,同时针对超声缺陷回波信号信噪比低、易于被噪声淹没的特点,选取小波阈值去噪的方法,通过调用LabVIEW里的MATLAB Script节点对信号进行仿真实验,仿真结果表明采用stein的无偏风险阈值去噪的方法消噪效果最为明显,得到较高的信噪比。

Vivid image projection system using e‐Paper active screen

Projected image on a screen is not always vivid enough when it is projected in a bright room. We generally have to choose either vivid image in a dark room or dull image in a bright room. We have suggested a new projection system which can realize high contrast image projection in a bright room. It is consisted of electronic paper screen, projector, and light‐emitting diode room light. The electronic paper (e‐Paper) screen alternates its whole surface white/black with 120 Hz. Room lights are controlled with the same frequency of 120 Hz with the opposite phase as that of the e‐Paper screen. We have confirmed that our new system has achieved higher contrast than the conventional projection system and also enough readability of paper documents in the room simultaneously. We have thus confirmed that our new system can bring an ideal condition, for audience, which can realize a vivid image projection in a bright room.     

Blind estimation of the PN sequence in lower SNR DS-SS signals with residual carrier

This paper presents a method of singular value decomposition (SVD) plus digital phase lock loop (DPLL) to solve the difficult problem of blind pseudo-noise (PN) sequence estimation in low signal to noise ratios (SNR) direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS, DS) signals with residual carrier. Of course, the method needs to know the parameters of DS signal, such as the period and code rate of PN sequence. Firstly, the received signal is sampled and divided into non-overlapping signal vectors according to a temporal window, whose duration is two periods of PN sequence. Then, an autocorrelation matrix is computed and accumulated by the signal vectors one by one. The PN sequence with residual carrier can be estimated by the principal eigenvector of this autocorrelation matrix. Furthermore, a DPLL is used to deal with the estimated PN sequence with residual carrier, it estimates and tracks the residual carrier, removes the residual carrier in the end. Theory analysis and computer simulation results show that this method can effectively realize the PN sequence estimation from the input DS signals with residual carrier in lower SNR.     

A novel adaptive cooperative location algorithm for wireless sensor networks

To overcome the disadvantages of the location algorithm based on received signal strength indication(RSSI) in the existing wireless sensor networks(WSNs),a novel adaptive cooperative location algorithm is proposed.To tolerate some minor errors in the information of node position,a reference anchor node is employed.On the other hand,Dixon method is used to remove the outliers of RSSI,the standard deviation threshold of RSSI and the learning model are put forward to reduce the ranging error of RSSI and improve the positioning precision effectively.Simulations are run to evaluate the performance of the algorithm.The results show that the proposed algorithm offers more precise location and better stability and robustness.     

Characterization of acoustic signals due to surface discharges on H.V. glass insulators using wavelet radial basis function neural networks

A hybrid model incorporating wavelet and radial basis function neural network is presented which is used to detect, identify and characterize the acoustic signals due to surface discharge activity and hence differentiate abnormal operating conditions from the normal ones. The tests were carried out on cleaned and polluted high voltage glass insulators by using surface tracking and erosion test procedure of international electrotechnical commission 60587. A laboratory experiment was conducted by preparing the prototypes of the discharges. This study suggests a feature extraction and classification algorithm for surface discharge classification, which when combined together reduced the dimensionality of the feature space to a manageable dimension, by “marrying” the wavelet to radial basis function neural network very high levels of classification are achieved. Wavelet signal treatment toolbox is used to recover the surface discharge acoustic signals by eliminating the noisy portion and to reduce the dimension of the feature input vector. A radial basis function neural network classifier was used to classify the surface discharge and assess the suitability of this feature vector in classification. This learning method is proved to be effective by applying the wavelet radial basis function neural network in the classification of surface discharge fault data set. The test results show that the proposed approach is efficient and reliable.     

CLP(ℜ) and some electrical engineering problems

The Constraint Logic Programming Scheme defines a class of languages designed for programming with constraints using a logic programming approach. These languages are soundly based on a unified framework of formal semantics. In particular, as an instance of this scheme with real arithmetic constraints, the CLP() language facilitates and encourages a concise and declarative style of programming for problems involving a mix of numeric and non-numeric computation.In this paper we illustrate the practical applicability of CLP() with examples of programs to solve electrical engineering problems. This field is particularly rich in problems that are complex and largely numeric, enabling us to demonstrate a number of the unique features of CLP(). A detailed look at some of the more important programming techniques highlights the ability of CLP() to support well-known, powerful techniques from constraint programming. Our thesis is that CLP() is an embodiment of these techniques in a language that is more general, elegant and versatile than the earlier languages, and yet is practical.An earlier version of this paper appeared in the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Logic Programming, Melbourne, May 1987. Much of this work was carried out while the authors were at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.
