Transient signals generally have short duration and variable length with time-varying and non-stationary characteristics. Thus frame-based pattern matching method is useful for classification of transient signals. In this paper, we propose a new method for classification of underwater transient signals using a Gaussian mixture model(GMM). We carried out classification experiments for various underwater transient signals depending upon the types of noise, signal-to-noise ratio, and number of mixtures in the GMM. Experimental results have verified that the proposed method works quite well for classification of underwater transient signals.

This Paper Presents new transient signal classification algorithms for underwater transient signals. In general. the ambient noise has small spectral deviation and energy variation. while a transient signal has large fluctuation. Hence to detect the transient signal, we use the spectral deviation and power variation. To classify the detected transient signal. the feature Parameters are obtained by using the Wigner-Ville distribution based eigenvalue decomposition. The correlation is then calculated between the feature vector of the detected signal and all the feature vectors of the reference templates frame-by-frame basis, and the detected transient signal is classified by the frame mapping rate among the class database.

This paper proposes a fault detection system to detect the strip rupture in six-high stand Cold Rolling Mills based on transient current signal of an electrical motor. For this work, signal smoothing technique is used to highlight precise feature between normal and fault condition. Subtracting the smoothed signal from the original signal gives the residuals that contains the information related to the normal or faulty condition. Using residual signal, discrete wavelet transform is performed and acquire the signal presenting fault feature well. Also, feature extraction and classification are executed by using PCA, KPCA and SVM. The actual data is acquired from POSCO for validating the proposed method.

This paper presents a new method for classification of underwater transient signals, which employs frame-based decision with Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients(MFCC). The MFCC feature vector is extracted frame-by-frame basis for an input signal that is detected as a transient signal, and Euclidean distances are calculated between this and all MFCC feature. vectors in the reference database. Then each frame of the detected input signal is mapped to the class having minimum Euclidean distance in the reference database. Finally the input signal is classified as the class that has maximum mapping rate in the reference database. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is very promising for classification of underwater transient signals.

In this paper, a Bayesian classifier based on PCA (principle component analysis) is proposed to classify underwater transient signals using $16^{th}$ order LPC (linear predictive coding) coefficients as feature vector. The proposed classifier is composed of two steps. The mechanical signals were separated from biological signals in the first step, and then each type of the mechanical signal was recognized in the second step. Three biological transient signals and two mechanical signals were used to conduct experiments. The classification ratios for the feature vectors of biological signals and mechanical signals were 94.75% and 97.23%, respectively, when all 16 order LPC vector were used. In order to determine the effect of underwater noise on the classification performance, underwater ambient noise was added to the test signals and the classification ratio according to SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) was compared by changing dimension of feature vector using PCA. The classification ratios of the biological and mechanical signals under ocean ambient noise at 10dB SNR, were 0.51% and 100% respectively. However, the ratios were changed to 53.07% and 83.14% when the dimension of feature vector was converted to three by applying PCA. For correct, classification, it is required SNR over 10 dB for three dimension feature vector and over 30dB SNR for seven dimension feature vector under ocean ambient noise environment.

When we classify underwater transient signals with frame-by-frame decision, a database design method for reference feature vectors influences on the system performance such as size of database, computational burden and recognition rate. In this paper the LBG vector quantization algorithm is applied to reduction of the number of feature vectors for each reference signal for efficient classification of underwater transient signals. Experimental results have shown that drastic reduction of the database size can be achieved while maintaining the classification performance by using the LBG vector quantization.

This paper presents a method for classification of underwater transient signals using, which employs a binary image pattern of the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients(MFCC) as a feature vector and a neural network as a classifier. A feature vector is obtained by taking DCT and 1-bit quantization for the square matrix of the MFCC sequences. The classifier is a feed-forward neural network having one hidden layer and one output layer, and a back propagation algorithm is used to update the weighting vector of each layer. Experimental results with some underwater transient signals demonstrate that the proposed method is very promising for classification of underwater transient signals.

In this paper, feature vector extraction methods and classification algorithms for the automatic classification of transient signals in underwater are discussed. A feature vector extraction method using wavelet transform, which shows good performance with small number of coefficients, is proposed and compared with the existing classical methods. For the automatic classification, artificial neural networks such as multilayer perceptron (MLP), radial basis function (RBF), and MLP-Class are utilized, where those neural networks as well as extracted feature vectors are combined to improve the performance and reliability of the proposed algorithm. It is confirmed by computer simulation with Traco's standard transient data set I and simulated data that the proposed feature vector extraction method and classification algorithm perform well, assuming that the energy of a given transient signal is sufficiently larger than that of a ambient noise, that there are the finite number of noise sources, and that there does not exist noise sources more than two simultaneously.
