Abstract
The wayside acoustic defective bearing detector system (TADS) is located on both sides of the railway, so that the acoustic signals recorded by the microphone not only include the sound from the train bearings but also include it from the other disturbance sources. The heavy noise and multisource acoustic signals would badly reduce the reliability and accuracy of the detection result of the TADS. In order to extract the useful information from the recorded signal exactly and efficiently, a novel denoising method based on the Short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and improved Crazy Climber algorithm was improved in this paper. Firstly, the STFT was performed on the recorded acoustic signals in order to obtain the time-frequency distribution matrix. Based on the original algorithm, the novel movement rule and the fitting process of the ridge lines were presented which could extract the time-frequency ridge lines of the acoustic signal accurately and rapidly. In this way, the important information from the train bearings could be divided from the heavy noise and other signals. Finally, the simulation and experimental verifications were carried out, and the denoising method based on the STFT and improved Crazy Climber algorithm has proved to be effective in extracting ridge lines of the time-frequency distribution matrix and dividing the useful information form the recorded acoustic signals.
