Displacement Monitoring of a Bridge Based on BDS Measurement by CEEMDAN-Adaptive Threshold Wavelet Method

From the viewpoint of BDS bridge displacement monitoring, which is easily affected by background noise and the calculation of a fixed threshold value in the wavelet filtering algorithm, which is often related to the data length. In this paper, a data processing method of Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN), combined with adaptive threshold wavelet de-noising is proposed. The adaptive threshold wavelet filtering method composed of the mean and variance of wavelet coefficients of each layer is used to de-noise the BDS displacement monitoring data. CEEMDAN was used to decompose the displacement response data of the bridge to obtain the intrinsic mode function (IMF). Correlation coefficients were used to distinguish the noisy component from the effective component, and the adaptive threshold wavelet de-noising occurred on the noisy component. Finally, all IMF were restructured. The simulation experiment and the BDS displacement monitoring data of Nanmao Bridge were verified. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could effectively suppress random noise and multipath noise, and effectively obtain the real response of bridge displacement.
