Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The fast and wide spread of new technologies has led the scientific community to develop new and more sophisticated mathematical models and methods to face the new challenges and needs coming from real applications involving signal and image processing.

The role of imaging is now fundamental in many fields, such as those involving smart acquisition devices. On the other hand, signal processing methods, like spectral analysis, time-frequency and time-scale representation, statistical signal processing, filtering, detection and estimation, and nonlinear signal processing, are successfully used in telecommunications systems.   

These approaches very often mainly aim at improving productivity as well as optimizing utilization and performance with a special emphasis on real-time implementations.

 

This Special Issue aims at bringing together researchers from different fields in order to present and share new theoretical results and advanced computational methods related to some of the current trends in signal and image processing. Theoretical models as well as applied mathematical methods oriented and/or based on real-world problems are welcome.

A new multiple signal classification (MUSIC)-based methodology is presented for detecting and locating multiple damage types in a truss-type structure subjected to dynamic excitations. The methodology is based mainly on two steps: in step 1, the MUSIC method is employed to obtain the pseudo-spectra of vibration signatures, healthy and damaged, to be used for damage detection. In step 2, a new damage index, based on the obtained pseudo-spectra, is proposed to measure the structure condition. Furthermore, the damage location is estimated according to the variation in the amplitudes of the estimated pseudo-spectra. The presented results show that the proposed methodology can make an accurate and reliable estimation of the condition and location of three specific damage conditions, i.e., loosened bolts, internal corrosion, and external corrosion.

The image restoration problem is one of the popular topics in image processing which is extensively studied by many authors because of its applications in various areas of science, engineering and medical image. The main aim of this paper is to introduce a new accelerated fixed algorithm using viscosity approximation technique with inertial effect for finding a common fixed point of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in a Hilbert space and prove a strong convergence result of the proposed method under some suitable control conditions. As an application, we apply our algorithm to solving image restoration problem and compare the efficiency of our algorithm with FISTA method which is a popular algorithm for image restoration. By numerical experiments, it is shown that our algorithm has more efficiency than that of FISTA. Full article

Transformers are vital and indispensable elements in electrical systems, and therefore, their correct operation is fundamental; despite being robust electrical machines, they are susceptible to present different types of faults during their service life. Although there are different faults, the fault of short-circuited turns (SCTs) has attracted the interest of many researchers around the world since the windings in a transformer are one of the most vulnerable parts. In this regard, several works in literature have analyzed the vibration signals that generate a transformer as a source of information to carry out fault diagnosis; however this analysis is not an easy task since the information associated with the fault is embedded in high level noise. This problem becomes more difficult when low levels of fault severity are considered. In this work, as the main contribution, the nonlinear mode decomposition (NMD) method is investigated as a potential signal processing technique to extract features from vibration signals, and thus, detect SCTs in transformers, even in early stages, i.e., low levels of fault severity. Also, the instantaneous root mean square (RMS) value computed using the Hilbert transform is proposed as a fault indicator, demonstrating to be sensitive to fault severity. Finally, a fuzzy logic system is developed for automatic fault diagnosis. To test the proposal, a modified transformer representing diverse levels of SCTs is used. These levels consist of 0 (healthy condition), 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 SCTs. Results demonstrate the capability of the proposal to extract features from vibration signals and perform automatic fault diagnosis. Full article
