Improved Bearing Fault Diagnosis by Feature Extraction Based on GLCM, Fusion of Selection Methods, and Multiclass-Naïve Bayes Classification

Abstract

The presence of bearing faults reduces the efficiency of rotating machines and thus increases energy consumption or even the total stoppage of the machine. It becomes essential to correctly diagnose the fault caused by the bearing. Hence the importance of determining an effective features extraction method that best describes the fault. The vision of this paper is to merge the features selection methods in order to define the most relevant featuresin the texture of the vibration signal images. In this study, the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) in texture analysis is applied on the vibration signal represented in images. Features selection based on the merge of PCA (Principal component Analysis) method and SFE (Sequential Features Extraction) method is done to obtain the most relevant features. The multiclass-Na?ve Bayesclassifier is used to test the proposed approach. The success rate of this classification is 98.27%. The relevant features obtained give promising results and are more efficient than the methods observed in the literature.
