Detection of Weak Magnetic Anomaly Signal Using EMD

Abstract:

With the problem of magnetic anomaly signal in low SNR, we using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithm and Savitzky-Golay filter to solve weak magnetic anomaly signal in noisy environment detection problem. With the EMD, the weak magnetic anomaly signal can be decomposed into different numbers of sub-signals called intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The IMFs include signals different frequency component from high to low. Recover the signal with IMFs which correlation coefficient is low with noise signal and smooth the signal with Savitzky-Golay filter. The proposed method is verified by simulation on computer. The present experimental results show that this method is effective to detect the weak magnetic anomaly and recover the original signal.
