Table 1 Comparison between DWT and other signal processing techniques.
Comparison criteria | DWT | FT | STFT | HHT | DML methods | References (2022–2024) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Time-frequency resolution | High (adaptive, multiresolution) | Only frequency | Limited (fixed window size) | High (adaptive, non-linear) | High (depending on the model architecture) | |
Non-stationary signal handling | Excellent for transients | Poor | Moderate | Excellent | Good (if trained on non-stationary data) | R43 |
Computational efficiency | Efficient for real-time | Efficient but lacks time information | Moderate (real-time possible) | Computationally expensive | Computationally expensive (training) | |
Data requirements | Low (signal-driven) | Low | Low | Moderate (requires preprocessing) | High (requires large datasets) | R43 |
Interpretability | High (clear decomposition) | High (but no time localization) | Moderate | Moderate | Low (black-box nature) | |
Real-time applicability | Excellent for real-time | Not suitable for real-time | Moderate | Not suitable for real-time | Limited (depends on optimization) | R46 |
Noise robustness | High (denoising capabilities) | Moderate | Moderate | Low | Moderate to high (depends on preprocessing) | R44 |
Adaptability to fault types | High (captures different faults) | Low (no time information) | Moderate | High (adapts well to dynamic signals) | High (High (if trained on multiple fault types)) | R46 |
