MODIFIED LAPLACIAN EIGENMAP METHOD FOR FAULT DIAGNOSIS

Abstract

A novel method based on the improved Laplacian eigenmap algorithm for fault pattern classification is proposed.Via modifying the Laplacian eigenmap algorithm to replace Euclidean distance with kernel-based geometric distance in the neighbor graph construction,the method can preserve the consistency of local neighbor information and effectively extract the low-dimensional manifold features embedded in the high-dimensional nonlinear data sets.A nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithm based on the improved Laplacian eigenmap is to directly learn high-dimensional fault signals and extract the intrinsic manifold features from them.The method greatly preserves the global geometry structure information embedded in the signals,and obviously improves the classification performance of fault pattern recognition.The experimental results on both simulation and engineering indicate the feasibility and effectiveness of the new method.
