Abstract

In this paper, to address the problems of poor signal noise reduction and low recognition rate in wire rope leakage magnetic detection. We propose the algorithm MSVDW, which uses a combination of median filtering, singular value decomposition (SVD) and wavelet transform, to denoise the collected three-dimensional MFL signals. Then, false color is used to enhance the image. The image is then localized and segmented using the modulus maximum method. The color moments are extracted from the images and used as the input of the particle swarm algorithm optimized support vector machine (PSO-SVM) for training and recognition. The experimental results show that the noise reduction algorithm proposed in this paper effectively reduces the noise of the magnetic leakage signal, the false color image enhances the defect image information, and the algorithm of PSO-SVM greatly improves the recognition rate of defects.
