An Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Approach for Multirotor UAVs Based on Deep Neural Network of Multi-Resolution Transform Features

Abstract

As a modern technological trend, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are extensively employed in various applications. The core purpose of condition monitoring systems, proactive fault diagnosis, is essential in ensuring UAV safety in these applications. In this research, adaptive health monitoring systems perform blade balancing fault diagnosis and classification. There seems to be a bidirectional unpredictability within each, and this paper proposes a hybrid-based transformed discrete wavelet and a multi-hidden-layer deep neural network (DNN) scheme to compensate for it. Wide-scale, high-quality, and comprehensive soft-labeled data are extracted from a selected hovering quad-copter incorporated with an accelerometer sensor via experimental work. A data-driven intelligent diagnostic strategy was investigated. Statistical characteristics of non-stationary six-leveled multi-resolution analysis in three axes are acquired. Two important feature selection methods were adopted to minimize computing time and improve classification accuracy when progressed into an artificial intelligence (AI) model for fault diagnosis. The suggested approach offers exceptional potential: the fault detection system identifies and predicts faults accurately as the resulting 91% classification accuracy exceeds current state-of-the-art fault diagnosis strategies. The proposed model demonstrated operational applicability on any multirotor UAV of choice.

Advancing biomedical engineering: Leveraging Hjorth features for electroencephalography signal analysis

“…Machine learning models have increasingly incorporated statistical features from EEG data to enhance classification and diagnostic capabilities. Deep Neural Networks (DNN) [ 20 , 21 ], with their capacity for feature learning, have shown promise in deciphering complex patterns from Hjorth parameters and similar statistics. The hierarchical nature of DNNs allows them to distill high-level abstractions from raw data, which is particularly beneficial for identifying subtle neurological differences between various cognitive tasks or pathological states.…”

“…The DJI mini 2 combo [21,22] was selected as the small UAV because of its availability in the Iraqi market and affordable cost. The drone appears as seen in Figures 2 and 3.…”

Fault diagnosis of drone motors driven by current signal data with few samples

“…Sadhu et al [20] introduced a novel UAV fault diagnosis framework relying on deep convolutional and LSTM neural networks, enabling fault diagnosis based on actual sensor data. Al-Haddad and Jaber [21] presented a fault diagnosis scheme using a discrete wavelet with a hybrid transform and deep neural network with multiple hidden layers for UAV fault diagnosis and prediction. They employed various feature selection methods to enhance the model's fault diagnosis capabilities.…”
