SEMG-Based Identification of Hand Motion Commands Using Wavelet Neural Network Combined With Discrete Wavelet Transform

Surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals can be applied in medical, rehabilitation, robotic, and industrial fields. As a typical application, a myoelectric prosthetic hand is controlled by the sEMG signals of the amputee’s residual muscles. To improve the dexterity of the myoelectric prosthetic hand, additional hand motion commands need to be classified. The more sEMG sensors are used, the more hand motion commands can be classified. However, the amputee’s residual muscles are limited. In order to improve the practicability of the myoelectric prosthetic hand, it is critical to investigate the effective pattern recognition algorithms to deal with the sEMG signals detected by fewer sensors, while identifying as many hand motion commands as possible. Current pattern recognition algorithms for sEMG signals are challenged by limited recognition patterns and unsteady classification accuracy rates. To solve these dilemmas, we employed discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and wavelet neural network (WNN) algorithms to improve the pattern recognition effects of sEMG signals. In addition, the back propagation and gradient descent algorithms were utilized to train WNN. In this work, we only used three sEMG sensors to classify and recognize six kinds of hand motion commands. The maximum identification accuracy rate is 100%, and an average classification accuracy rate of the proposed WNN is 94.67%, which is substantially better than the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm.

Rolling Bearing Fault Diagnosis based on Time-frequency Feature Parameters and Wavelet Neural Network

In this paper, we present a novel method in fault diagnosis of rolling bearing based on time-frequency feature parameters and wavelet neural network. First, the time feature parameters are extracted from the vibration signal. Then the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is used to decompose the signals of rolling bearings into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then the IMF energy-torques could be calculated through the vibration signal. Finally, those time-frequency feature parameters are taken as fault samples to train wavelet neural network (WNN)．The analysis results from the experimental show that the time- frequency feature parameters and WNN is effective in rolling bearing fault diagnosis. This paper provides the theoretical foundation for fault diagnosis in rotary machines.

Design of an Intelligent Controller Based on Wavelet Neural Network to Improve the Stability of Power Systems

To damp the oscillations in a power system, a new intelligent controller is proposed. This controller is an online trained wavelet neural network controller (OTWNNC) in which adaptive learning rates derived by the Lyapunov stability are employed to guarantee the convergence of the proposed controller. During the online control process, the identification of system is not necessary, because of learning ability of the proposed controller. One of the proposed controller features is robustness to different operating conditions and disturbances. Moreover, the Prony method is used to obtain the exponential damping of power system oscillations in this paper. The test power system is a two-area four-machine system power. The simulation results show that the oscillations are satisfactorily damped out by the OTWNNC.

Accurate modeling of switched reluctance machine based on hybrid trained WNN

According to the strong nonlinear electromagnetic characteristics of switched reluctance machine (SRM), a novel accurate modeling method is proposed based on hybrid trained wavelet neural network (WNN) which combines improved genetic algorithm (GA) with gradient descent (GD) method to train the network. In the novel method, WNN is trained by GD method based on the initial weights obtained per improved GA optimization, and the global parallel searching capability of stochastic algorithm and local convergence speed of deterministic algorithm are combined to enhance the training accuracy, stability and speed. Based on the measured electromagnetic characteristics of a 3-phase 12/8-pole SRM, the nonlinear simulation model is built by hybrid trained WNN in Matlab. The phase current and mechanical characteristics from simulation under different working conditions meet well with those from experiments, which indicates the accuracy of the model for dynamic and static performance evaluation of SRM and verifies the effectiveness of the proposed modeling method.

Bacterial foraging trained wavelet neural networks: application to bankruptcy prediction in banks

This paper proposes a modified bacterial foraging technique (BFT) to train wavelet neural network (WNN) in order to predict bankruptcy in banks. The BFT is modified in that the swarming step that implements cell-to-cell interaction is deleted. The parameters translation, dilation and the weights connecting different layers in WNN are updated using the BFT. The resulting neural network is called BFTWNN. The effectiveness of BFTWNN is tested on bankruptcy prediction as well as benchmark datasets. We employed ten-fold cross validation in the study. Numerical experiments suggested that the BFTWNN outperformed threshold accepting trained wavelet neural network (TAWNN) (Vinaykumar et al., 2008) and WNN in benchmark datasets by wide margin while it yielded results comparable to that of differential evolution wavelet neural network (DEWNN) (Chauhan et al., 2009) in terms of area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). Of particular significance is the superiority of the BFTWNN over the original WNN on all but one datasets.

In this paper, we propose differential evolution (DE) to train the supervised part of the radial basis function (RBF) network in the soft computing paradigm. Here the unsupervised part of the RBF is taken care of by K-means clustering. The new network is named as differential evolution trained radial basis function (DERBF) network. The efficacy of DERBF is tested on bank bankruptcy datasets viz. Spanish banks, Turkish banks, US banks and UK banks as well as benchmark datasets such as iris, wine and Wisconsin breast cancer. The performance of DERBF is compared with that of differential evolution trained wavelet neural networks (DEWNN) (Chauhan et al., 2009), threshold accepting trained wavelet neural network (TAWNN) (Vinaykumar et al., 2008) and wavelet neural network with respect to the criterion area under receiver operating characteristic curve. The results showed that DERBF is very good at generalisation in the ten-fold cross validation for all datasets.

In this paper, operational risk arising from the technological dimension is effectively modeled by efficiently forecasting software reliability. We propose the use of wavelet neural networks (WNN) to predict software reliability. Two kinds of wavelets were employed in WNN as transfer functions, viz. Morlet wavelet and Gaussian wavelet, thus giving rise to two variants of WNN. The effectiveness of WNN is demonstrated on a data set taken from literature. Its performance is compared with that of multiple linear regression, multivariate adaptive regression splines, back propagation trained neural network, threshold-accepting trained neural network, threshold accepting trained wavelet neural network, pi-sigma network, general regression neural network, dynamic evolving neuro-fuzzy inference system and TreeNet in terms of normalized root mean square error obtained on test data. Based on the experiments performed, it is observed that the WNN-based models outperformed all the other techniques.

A corresponding sequence of representations can be obtained through the trained wavelet neural network and the image sequence can be synthesized using the result of eigen space method. No a priori models of robot and camera or any calibrations are needed. The virtual motion of the robot UP6 is demonstrated.

Intelligent control of induction servo motor drive via wavelet neural network

Abstract This study presents an intelligent control system for an induction servo motor drive to track periodic commands using a wavelet neural network (WNN). With the field orientation mechanism, the dynamic behavior of the induction servo motor drive system is rather similar to a linear system. However, the uncertainties, such as mechanical parametric variation, external disturbance, unstructured uncertainty due to nonideal field orientation in transient state, and unmodelled dynamics in practical applications influence the control performance. Therefore, an intelligent control system that is an on-line trained WNN controller with adaptive learning rates is proposed to control the rotor position of the induction servo motor drive. The adaptive learning rates are derived in the sense of discrete-type Lyapunov stability theorem, so that the convergence of the tracking error can be guaranteed in the closed-loop system. In the whole design process, the strict constrained conditions and prior knowledge of the controlled plant are not necessary according to the powerful learning ability of the intelligent control system. With the proposed intelligent control system, the controlled induction servo motor drive possesses the advantages of good tracking control performance and robustness to uncertainties under wide operating ranges. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified by both simulated and experimental results.
