Bearing fault diagnosis via category-aware multi-modal sparse space learning
摘要
Bearing fault diagnosis often struggles to extract reliable and discriminative features from original multi-modal fault samples that contain noise and redundant information. Aiming at the issue, we propose a bearing fault diagnosis method called category-aware multi-modal sparse space learning (CMSSL). In the method, we design a novel category-aware geometric metric to better capture structural differences among samples and construct category-aware graphs that preserve intrinsic local geometric information across modalities. These graphs are jointly incorporated with an L2, 1-norm sparsity constraint into a unified correlation analysis framework, enabling the extraction of compact and highly discriminative features. By learning a category-aware sparse projection space, CMSSL transforms the original multi-modal samples into feature representations with substantially improved category separability. Experimental results on Paderborn and our experimental platform demonstrate that the robustness and effectiveness of CMSSL in multi-modal bearing fault diagnosis.
