Most nonlinear manifold learning methods can not be efficiently operated in a ‘batch’ mode when data are collected sequentially. An incremental learning scheme is proposed for condition monitoring of mechanical equipments. A nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithm called local tangent space alignment(LTSA)is first utilized to train the low-dimensional manifold structure from the original feature space. To process the long term recordings
an unsupervised learning scheme based on incremental local tangent space alignment(ILTSA)is chosen to cluster the new coming samples dynamically. The proposed method is evaluated by vibration signals measured on defective bearings with different fault types and pressure signals collected from compressor with surge fault
respectively. The results show that the scheme enables to achieve a high accuracy for condition classification with potential in identifying novel patterns from high dimensional feature space.
