Abstract
To eliminate the noise interference caused by continuous external environmental disturbances on the rotor signals of a maglev gyroscope, this study proposes a noise reduction method that integrates an adaptive particle swarm optimization variational modal decomposition algorithm with a strategy for error compensation of the trend term in reconstructed signals, significantly improving the azimuth measurement accuracy of the gyroscope torque sensor. The optimal parameters for the variational modal decomposition algorithm were determined using the adaptive particle swarm optimization algorithm, allowing for the accurate decomposition of noisy rotor signals. Additionally, using multi-scale permutation entropy as a criterion for discriminant, the signal components were filtered and summed to obtain the denoised reconstructed signal. Furthermore, an empirical mode decomposition algorithm was employed to extract the trend term of the reconstructed signal, which was then used to compensate for the errors in the reconstructed signal, achieving significant noise reduction. On-site experiments were conducted on the high-precision GNSS baseline of the Xianyang Yuan Tunnel in the second phase of the project to divert water from the Han River to the Wei River, where this method was applied to process and analyze multiple sets of rotor signals. The experimental results show that this method effectively suppresses continuous external environmental interference, reducing the average standard deviation of the compensated signals by 46.10% and the average measurement error of the north azimuth by 45.63%. Its noise reduction performance surpasses that of the other four algorithms.
