Pipeline signal feature extraction method based on multi-feature entropy fusion and local linear embedding

This paper considers the problem of effective feature extraction of acoustic signals from oil and gas pipelines under different working conditions. A feature extraction of pipeline leakage detection method is proposed based on multi-feature entropy fusion and local linear embedding (LLE). First, seven kinds of commonly used entropy which can reflect the characteristics of the signal better are extracted from the pipeline signal through experiments, including permutation entropy, envelope entropy, approximate entropy, fuzzy entropy, energy entropy, sample entropy and dispersion entropy. The seven-dimensional feature vectors are obtained by feature fusion. Second, the LLE algorithm is used to reduce the dimension of the feature vector to complete the secondary feature extraction. Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) is used to identify the working conditions of the pipeline. The experimental results show that, compared with other dimensionality reduction methods, single-feature entropy method and multi-feature entropy fusion method, the proposed method can identify the types of pipeline working conditions effectively and reduce the problems of false negatives and false positives in pipeline leakage detection.
