Abstract:
A noise reduction algorithm based on an improved empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and forward linear prediction (FLP) is proposed for the fiber optic gyroscope (FOG). Referred to as the EMD-FLP algorithm, it was developed to decompose the FOG outputs into a number of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) after which mode manipulations are performed to select noise-only IMFs, mixed IMFs, and residual IMFs. The FLP algorithm is then employed to process the mixed IMFs, from which the refined IMFs components are reconstructed to produce the final de-noising results. This hybrid approach is applied to, and verified using, both simulated signals and experimental FOG outputs. The results from the applications show that the method eliminates noise more effectively than the conventional EMD or FLP methods and decreases the standard deviations of the FOG outputs after de-noising from 0.17 to 0.026 under sweep frequency vibration and from 0.22 to 0.024 under fixed frequency vibration.
