Coherent Doppler wind lidar signal denoising adopting variational mode decomposition based on honey badger algorithm
Abstract:
Coherent Doppler wind lidar (CDWL) is used to measure wind velocity distribution by using laser pulses. However, the echo signal is easily affected by atmospheric turbulence, which could decrease the effective detection range of CDWL. In this paper, a variation modal decomposition based on honey badger algorithm (VMD-HBA) is proposed and demonstrated. Compared with conventional VMD-based methods, the proposed method utilizes a newly developed HBA to obtain the optimal VMD parameters by iterating the spectrum fitness function. In addition, the Correlation Euclidean distance is applied to identify the relevant mode and used to reconstruct the signal. The simulation results show that the denoising performance of VMD-HBA is superior to other available denoising methods. Experimentally, this combined method was successfully realized to process the actual lidar echo signal. Under harsh detection conditions, the effective detection range of the homemade CDWL system is extended from 13.41 km to 20.61 km.
