This paper shows an algorithm for identifying track irregularities using wavelet transfer function along the railway. An equivalent SISO wavelet transfer function is defined using continuous wavelet transform by the measured track geometry and acceleration at a bogie of a train. The estimated track geometry is made by inverse continuous wavelet transform from the regressed signals of measured acceleration signal and the pre-defined wavelet transfer function. The estimated rail irregularity geometry is evaluated by the coherence function and comparison of FRF(Frequency Response Function). As a result of evaluated outcome, This algorithm is regarded as appropriate for estimation of rail irregularity.

The purpose of the work is to present successful applications of a modified wavelet shrinkage method for the accurate and fast estimation of a transfer function. Although the experimental process of determining a transfer function introduces not only Gaussian but also non-Gaussian noises, most existing estimation methods are based only on a Gaussian noise model. To overcome this limitation, we propose to employ a modified wavelet shrinkage method in which L1 -based median filtering and L2 -based wavelet shrinkage are applied repeatedly. The underlying theory behind this approach is briefly explained and the superior performance of this modified wavelet shrinkage technique is demonstrated by a numerical example.

One of the most advanced classes of techniques for ground response analysis is based on the use of Transfer Functions. They represent the ratio of Fourier spectrum of amplitude motion at the free surface to the corresponding spectrum of the bedrock motion and they are applied in frequency domain usually by FFT method. However, Fourier spectrum only shows the dominant frequency in each time step and is unable to represent all frequency contents in every time step and this drawback leads to inaccurate results. In this research, this process is optimized by decomposing the input motion into different frequency sub-bands using Wavelet Multi-level Decomposition. Each component is then processed with transfer Function relating to the corresponding component frequency. Taking inverse FFT from all components, the ground motion can be recovered by summing up the results. The nonlinear behavior is approximated using an iterative procedure with nonlinear soil properties. The results of this procedure show better accuracy with respect to field observations than does the Conventional method. The proposed method can also be applied to other engineering disciplines with similar procedure.

Based on their shift and scale orthogonality properties, scaling and wavelet functions may be used as signaling functions having good frequency localization as determined by the fractional-out-of-band power (FOOBP). In this paper, application of Daubechies' wavelet and scaling functions as baseband signaling functions is described, with a focus on finding discretely realizable pulse-shaping transfer function circuits whose outputs approximate scaling and wavelet functions when driven by more conventional digital signaling waveforms. It is also shown that the inter-symbol interference (ISI) introduced by the approximation has negligible effect on the performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Moreover, the approximations are often more bandwidth efficient than the original wavelet functions. These waveforms thus illustrate an example solution of a tradeoff between residual ISI and bandwidth efficiency as a signal design problem.

Electricity price forecasting has become an integral part of power system operation and control. In this paper, a wavelet transform (WT) based neural network (NN) model to forecast price profile in a deregulated electricity market has been presented. The historical price data has been decomposed into wavelet domain constitutive sub series using WT and then combined with the other time domain variables to form the set of input variables for the proposed forecasting model. The behavior of the wavelet domain constitutive series has been studied based on statistical analysis. It has been observed that forecasting accuracy can be improved by the use of WT in a forecasting model. Multi-scale analysis from one to seven levels of decomposition has been performed and the empirical evidence suggests that accuracy improvement is highest at third level of decomposition. Forecasting performance of the proposed model has been compared with (i) a heuristic technique, (ii) a simulation model used by Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), (iii) a Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) model, (iv) NN model, (v) Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, (vi) Dynamic Regression (DR) model, and (vii) Transfer Function (TF) model. Forecasting results show that the performance of the proposed WT based NN model is satisfactory and it can be used by the participants to respond properly as it predicts price before closing of window for submission of initial bids.

This paper describes shock waveform synthesis methods for a shock response spectnlm over a short time interval with which intereference between parts within a test item is increased to perform a sufficient shock test for damage or malfunction which may be caused by the interference between parts, and a digital filter for obtaining a shock response history required for the shock waveform synthesis and a digital inverse filter for restoration by inversely using the digital filter. The time at which the maximax value occurs in the response history is detected in order to establish a delay time which is one of the parameters in the wavelet, on the condition that the natural frequency of SDOF system with a Q (quality factor) of 10 equals to the wavelet frequency of the zero delay wavelet input. A shock response spectrum over a short time interval and an abrupt change in the acceleration for an instant are illustrated as features of the synthesized waveform.

AVI (Automatic Vision Inspection) systems automatically detect defect features and measure their sizes via camera vision. Defect detection is not an easy process because of noises from various sources and optical distortion. In this paper the acquired images from a TFT panel are enhanced with the adoption of an HVS (Human Visual System). A human visual system is more sensitive on the defect area than the illumination components because it has greater sensitivity to variations of intensity. In this paper we modified an MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) in the Wavelet domain and utilized the characteristics of an HVS. The proposed algorithm flattens the inner illumination components while preserving the defect information intact.

전리층 지연은 보정위성항법시스템(DGPS), 위성항법시스템(GPS)을 이용한 시각동기화 및 광역보정위성항법시스템(WADGPS)의 주요한 오차원인이다. 이러한 전리층 지연은 위성 신호가 통과하는 전리층의 환경에 따라 달라지므로 일반적인 보정위성항법시스템의 기준국이 보정할 수 있는 사용자와의 거리는 약 100km로 제한된다. 따라서 광역보정위성항법의 경우 여러 기준국의 측정치를 이용하여 보정구간 전리층 전체를 모델링하여 보정정보를 단일 주파수 수신기 사용자들에게 보내주게 된다. 이를 위해 이미 기존의 격자 알고리즘이 구현되어 있으나 기존의 격자 알고리즘에서는 전리층에 자기폭풍현상이 일어났을 경우에 대한 대처와 정확도가 고려되지 않고 있다. 자기폭풍이 일어나면 수직전리층 값이 공간적으로 noisy한 분포를 나타내게 되기 때문에 격자 알고리즘으로의 경우 모델링의 정확도가 낮아지게 된다. 또한 정확도를 높이기 위한 다른 함수 기반 전리층 모델의 경우 자기 폭풍이 일어났을 때 보정정보 값의 연속성이 보장되지 않는다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 wavelet을 이용한 알고리즘은 보정정보의 개수가 같을 때 기존의 격자 알고리즘보다 더 높은 정확도를 보이며, 특히 자기폭풍이 왔을 때도 비교모델인 spherical harmonics 기반 알고리즘에 비해서도 정확도가 향상됨을 볼 수 있다. 또한 다른 함수기반 알고리즘의 경우 정확도는 높지만 전송해야하는 보정정보 값이 자기폭풍시에 불연속이 되는데 반해 본 알고리즘은 연속성이 보장된다. 따라서 본 알고리즘을 이용하면 자기폭풍시에도 적용가능함으로서 기존의 알고리즘들의 문제를 개선할 수 있다.

Comparing to active damage monitoring, impact localization on composite by using time reversal focusing method has several difficulties. First, the transfer function of the actuator-sensor path is difficult to be obtained because of the limitation that no impact experiment is permitted to perform on the real structure and the difficulty to model it because the performance of real aircraft composite is much more complicated comparing to metal structure. Second, the position of impact is unknown and can not be controlled as the excitation signal used in the active monitoring. This makes it not applicable to compare the difference between the excitation and the focused signal. Another difficulty is that impact signal is frequency broadband, giving rise to the difficulty to process virtual synthesis because of the highly dispersion nature of frequency broadband Lamb wave in plate-like structure. Aiming at developing a practical method for on-line localization of impact on aircraft composite structure which can take advantage of time reversal focusing and does not rely on the transfer function, a PZT sensor array based phase synthesis time reversal impact imaging method is proposed. The complex Shannon wavelet transform is presented to extract the frequency narrow-band signals from the impact responded signals of PZT sensors. A phase synthesis process of the frequency narrow-band signals is implemented to search the time reversal focusing position on the structure which represents the impact position. Evaluation experiments on a carbon fiber composite structure show that the proposed method realizes the impact imaging and localization with an error less than 1.5 cm. Discussion of the influence of velocity errors and measurement noise is also given in detail.
