摘要

In the feature extraction of mechanical fault detection field, manifold learning is one of the effective nonlinear techniques. In this paper, aiming for the situations of noise sensitivity to manifold learning algorithms, an improved Laplacian Eigenmap (I-LapEig) algorithm is proposed and applied to the process of fault feature extraction. The new method takes advantage of local principal component analysis to eliminate the influence of noise points by reconstructing the neighborhood relation amongst the samples, and maintain the global intrinsic manifold structure, which enhances the performance of the feature extraction. To determine the parameters of I-LapEig algorithm, an adaptive neighborhood choose approach is presented. The K-nearest neighbor classifier is also adopted to implement feature classification and recognition. The experimental results on S-curve, rotor bed data, and compressor fault data show that the new method can effectively improve the performance of noise reduction in the feature extraction process when compared with the conventional local linear embedding and Laplacian Eigenmaps.
