An effective feature selection method based on an improved Hilbert-Huang transform is proposed to focus on the problem that it is difficult to extract the characteristic features of the defect information in acoustic defect detection systems. Firstly
audio signals are decomposed and reconstructed by the wavelet package to obtain a series of narrow-band signals. Secondly
all of the narrow-band signals are respectively decomposed via the empirical mode decomposition method to obtain several intrinsic mode function components. Then the real intrinsic mode function components are screened out based on mutual information.Instantaneous attributes are obtained from these intrinsic mode function components through Hilbert transformation. Finally
relevant time-frequency features are extracted based on these instantaneous attributes. The extracted features are classified by a back propagation neural network in acoustic defect detection. Results show that the features of audio signals extracted by the proposed method is very effective and the comprehensive classification performance index F improves by 7.7% compared with the original Hilbert-Huang transform.
