Deep learning models have performed well in stock price prediction and give high accuracy. However, these models are largely affected by the vanishing gradient problem escalated by some activation functions. This study proposes the use of the Vanishing Gradient Resilient Optimized Gated Recurrent Unit (OGRU) model with a scaled mean Approximation Coefficient (AC) time lag which should counter slow convergence, vanishing gradient and large error metrics. This study employed the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), Hyperbolic Tangent (Tanh), Sigmoid and Exponential Linear Unit (ELU) activation functions. Real-life datasets including the daily Apple and 5-minute Netflix closing stock prices were used, and they were decomposed using the Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT). The decomposed series formed a decomposed data model which was compared to an undecomposed data model with similar hyperparameters and different default lags. The Apple daily dataset performed well with a Default_1 lag, using an undecomposed data model and the ReLU, attaining 0.01312, 0.00854 and 3.67 minutes for RMSE, MAE and runtime. The Netflix data performed best with the MeanAC_42 lag, using decomposed data model and the ELU achieving 0.00620, 0.00487 and 3.01 minutes for the same metrics.展开更多

A fast algorithm, which can greatly decrease the processing burden and can be very easy for hardware implementation in real-time, is analyzed. The algorithm will no longer have the processing of decimation and interpolation of usual WT. The formulae of the decomposition and the reconstruction are given. Simulation results of the MEMS （micro-electro mechanical systems） gyroscope drift signal show that the algorithm spends much less processing time to finish the de-noising process than the usual WT. And the de-noising effect is the same. The fast algorithm has been implemented in a TMS320C6713 digital signal processor. The standard variance of the gyroscope static drift signal decreases from 78. 435 5 （°）/h to 36. 763 5 （°）/h. It takes 0. 014 ms to process all input data and can meet the real-time analysis of signal.展开更多

文摘Fluorescence microscopy is indispensable in life science research,yet denoising remains challenging due to varied biological samples and imaging conditions.We introduce a wavelet-enhanced transformer based on DnCNN that fuses wavelet preprocessing with a dual-branch transformer-convolutional neural network(CNN)architecture.Wavelet decomposition separates highand low-frequency components for targeted noise reduction;the CNN branch restores local details,whereas the transformer branch captures global context;and an adaptive loss balances quantitative fidelity with perceptual quality.On the fluorescence microscopy denoising benchmark,our method surpasses leading CNNand transformer-based approaches,improving peak signal-to-noise ratio by 2.34%and 0.88%and structural similarity index measure by 0.53%and 1.07%,respectively.This framework offers enhanced generalization and practical gains for fluorescence image denoising.
文摘A wavelet-based local and global feature fusion network(LAGN)is proposed for low-light image enhancement,aiming to enhance image details and restore colors in dark areas.This study focuses on addressing three key issues in low-light image enhancement:Enhancing low-light images using LAGN to preserve image details and colors;extracting image edge information via wavelet transform to enhance image details;and extracting local and global features of images through convolutional neural networks and Transformer to improve image contrast.Comparisons with state-of-the-art methods on two datasets verify that LAGN achieves the best performance in terms of details,brightness,and contrast.
文摘Drive-by techniques for bridge health monitoring have drawn increasing attention from researchers and practitioners,in the attempt to make bridge condition-based monitoring more cost-efficient.In this work,the authors propose a drive-by approach that takes advantage from bogie vertical accelerations to assess bridge health status.To do so,continuous wavelet transform is combined with multiple sparse autoencoders that allow for damage detection and localization across bridge span.According to authors’best knowledge,this is the first case in which an unsupervised technique,which relies on the use of sparse autoencoders,is used to localize damages.The bridge considered in this work is a Warren steel truss bridge,whose finite element model is referred to an actual structure,belonging to the Italian railway line.To investigate damage detection and localization performances,different operational variables are accounted for:train weight,forward speed and track irregularity evolution in time.Two configurations for the virtual measuring channels were investigated:as a result,better performances were obtained by exploiting the vertical accelerations of both the bogies of the leading coach instead of using only one single acceleration signal.

文摘Wind power generation is subjected to complex and variable meteorological conditions,resulting in intermittent and volatile power generation.Accurate wind power prediction plays a crucial role in enabling the power grid dispatching departments to rationally plan power transmission and energy storage operations.This enhances the efficiency of wind power integration into the grid.It allows grid operators to anticipate and mitigate the impact of wind power fluctuations,significantly improving the resilience of wind farms and the overall power grid.Furthermore,it assists wind farm operators in optimizing the management of power generation facilities and reducing maintenance costs.Despite these benefits,accurate wind power prediction especially in extreme scenarios remains a significant challenge.To address this issue,a novel wind power prediction model based on learning approach is proposed by integrating wavelet transform and Transformer.First,a conditional generative adversarial network(CGAN)generates dynamic extreme scenarios guided by physical constraints and expert rules to ensure realism and capture critical features of wind power fluctuations under extremeconditions.Next,thewavelet transformconvolutional layer is applied to enhance sensitivity to frequency domain characteristics,enabling effective feature extraction fromextreme scenarios for a deeper understanding of input data.The model then leverages the Transformer’s self-attention mechanism to capture global dependencies between features,strengthening its sequence modelling capabilities.Case analyses verify themodel’s superior performance in extreme scenario prediction by effectively capturing local fluctuation featureswhile maintaining a grasp of global trends.Compared to other models,it achieves R-squared(R^(2))as high as 0.95,and the mean absolute error(MAE)and rootmean square error(RMSE)are also significantly lower than those of othermodels,proving its high accuracy and effectiveness in managing complex wind power generation conditions.

文摘Although the image dehazing problem has received considerable attention over recent years,the existing models often prioritise performance at the expense of complexity,making them unsuitable for real-world applications,which require algorithms to be deployed on resource constrained-devices.To address this challenge,we propose WaveLiteDehaze-Network(WLD-Net),an end-to-end dehazing model that delivers performance comparable to complex models while operating in real time and using significantly fewer parameters.This approach capitalises on the insight that haze predominantly affects low-frequency infor-mation.By exclusively processing the image in the frequency domain using discrete wavelet transform(DWT),we segregate the image into high and low frequencies and process them separately.This allows us to preserve high-frequency details and recover low-frequency components affected by haze,distinguishing our method from existing approaches that use spatial domain processing as the backbone,with DWT serving as an auxiliary component.DWT is applied at multiple levels for better in-formation retention while also accelerating computation by downsampling feature maps.Subsequently,a learning-based fusion mechanism reintegrates the processed frequencies to reconstruct the dehazed image.Experiments show that WLD-Net out-performs other low-parameter models on real-world hazy images and rivals much larger models,achieving the highest PSNR and SSIM scores on the O-Haze dataset.Qualitatively,the proposed method demonstrates its effectiveness in handling a diverse range of haze types,delivering visually pleasing results and robust performance,while also generalising well across different scenarios.With only 0.385 million parameters(more than 100 times smaller than comparable dehazing methods),WLD-Net processes 1024×1024 images in just 0.045 s,highlighting its applicability across various real-world scenarios.The code is available at https://github.com/AliMurtaza29/WLD-Net.

文摘Stratigraphic correlations are essential for the fine-scale characterization of reservoirs.However,conventional data-driven methods that rely solely on log data struggle to construct isochronous stratigraphic frameworks for complex sedimentary environments and multi-source geological settings.In response,this study proposed an intelligent,automatic,log-seismic integrated stratigraphic correlation method that incorporates wavelet frequency-division transform(WFT)and dynamic time warping(DTW)(also referred to as the WFT-DTW method).This approach integrates seismic data as constraints into stratigraphic correlations,enabling accurate tracking of the seismic marker horizons through WFT.Under the constraints of framework construction,a DTW algorithm was introduced to correlate sublayer boundaries automatically.The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through a stratigraphic correlation experiment on the SA0 Formation of the Xingshugang block in the Lasaxing oilfield,the Songliao Basin,China.In this block,the target layer exhibits sublayer thicknesses ranging from 5 m to 8 m,an average sandstone thickness of 2.1 m,and pronounced heterogeneity.The verification using 1760 layers in 160 post-test wells indicates that the WFT-DTW method intelligently compared sublayers in zones with underdeveloped faults and distinct marker horizons.As a result,the posterior correlation of 1682 layers was performed,with a coincidence rate of up to 95.6%.The proposed method can complement manual correlation efforts while also providing valuable technical support for the lithologic and sand body characterization of reservoirs.
文摘Cardiovascular diseases are the world’s leading cause of death;therefore cardiac health of the human heart has been a fascinating topic for decades.The electrocardiogram(ECG)signal is a comprehensive non-invasive method for determining cardiac health.Various health practitioners use the ECG signal to ascertain critical information about the human heart.In this article,swarm intelligence approaches are used in the biomedical signal processing sector to enhance adaptive hybrid filters and empirical wavelet transforms(EWTs).At first,the white Gaussian noise is added to the input ECG signal and then applied to the EWT.The ECG signals are denoised by the proposed adaptive hybrid filter.The honey badge optimization(HBO)algorithm is utilized to optimize the EWT window function and adaptive hybrid filter weight parameters.The proposed approach is simulated by MATLAB 2018a using the MIT-BIH dataset with white Gaussian,electromyogram and electrode motion artifact noises.A comparison of the HBO approach with recursive least square-based adaptive filter,multichannel least means square,and discrete wavelet transform methods has been done in order to show the efficiency of the proposed adaptive hybrid filter.The experimental results show that the HBO approach supported by EWT and adaptive hybrid filter can be employed efficiently for cardiovascular signal denoising.
文摘This paper discusses the principle and procedures of the second-generation wavelet transform and its application to the denoising of seismic data. Based on lifting steps, it is a flexible wavelet construction method using linear and nonlinear spatial prediction and operators to implement the wavelet transform and to make it reversible. The lifting scheme transform -includes three steps： split, predict, and update. Deslauriers-Dubuc （4, 2） wavelet transforms are used to process both synthetic and real data in our second-generation wavelet transform. The processing results show that random noise is effectively suppressed and the signal to noise ratio improves remarkably. The lifting wavelet transform is an efficient algorithm.

文摘Decomposition and reconstruction of Mallat fast wavelet transformation （WT） is described. A fast algorithm, which can greatly decrease the processing burden and can be very easy for hardware implementation in real-time, is analyzed. The algorithm will no longer have the processing of decimation and interpolation of usual WT. The formulae of the decomposition and the reconstruction are given. Simulation results of the MEMS （micro-electro mechanical systems） gyroscope drift signal show that the algorithm spends much less processing time to finish the de-noising process than the usual WT. And the de-noising effect is the same. The fast algorithm has been implemented in a TMS320C6713 digital signal processor. The standard variance of the gyroscope static drift signal decreases from 78. 435 5 （°）/h to 36. 763 5 （°）/h. It takes 0. 014 ms to process all input data and can meet the real-time analysis of signal.

文摘Combining wavelet transforms with conventional log differential curves is used to identify fractured sections is a new idea.In this paper,we first compute the mother wavelet transform of conventional logs and the wavelet decomposed signals are compared with fractures identified from image logs to determine the fracture-matched mother wavelet.Then the mother wavelet-based decomposed signal combined with the differential curves of conventional well logs create a fracture indicator curve,identifying the fractured zone.Finally the fracture density can be precisely evaluated by the linear relationship of the indicator curve and image log fracture density.This method has been successfully used to evaluate igneous reservoir fractures in the southern Songnan basin and the calculated density from the indicator curve and density from image logs are both basically consistent.
文摘To monitor the tool wear states in turning, a new way based on the wavelet transformation to get the signal characters, which can reflect the tool wear states, was proposed. Using discrete dyadic wavelet transform, the acoustic emission(AE) signal of cutting process was decomposed; the root mean square(RMS) values of the decomposed signals at different scales were taken as the feature vector; the technique of fuzzy pattern identification was used to real time monitor the tool wear states. Based on choosing the suitable standard samples, this method can correctly identify the tool wear states. Experiments showed that the technique based on wavelet analysis is suitable for real time implementation in manufacturing application.
