| description | This study analyzes the impact of different types of random noise applied in Denoising Autoencoder (DAE) training on fault diagnosis performance, with the aim of improving noise removal for vibration time series data. While conventional studies typically train DAEs using Gaussian random noise, such noise does not fully reflect the complex noise patterns observed in real-world industrial environments. Therefore, this study proposes a novel approach that uses high-frequency noise components extracted from actual vibration data as training noise for the DAE. Both Gaussian and high-frequency noise were used to train separate DAE models, and statistical features (mean, RMS, standard deviation, kurtosis, skewness) were extracted from the denoised signals. The fault diagnosis rates were calculated using One-Class Support Vector Machines (OC-SVM) for performance comparison. As a result, the model trained with high-frequency noise achieved a 0.0293 higher average F1-score than the Gaussian-based model. Notably, the fault detection accuracy using the kurtosis feature improved significantly from 26.22% to 99.5%. Furthermore, the proposed method outperformed the conventional denoising technique based on the Wavelet Transform, demonstrating superior noise reduction capability. These findings demonstrate that incorporating real high-frequency components from vibration data into the DAE training process is effective in enhancing both noise removal and fault diagnosis performance. |
