A Novel Feature Extraction Method for Bearing Fault Classification with One
Dimensional Ternary Patterns
Abstract
Bearing is one of the most critical parts used in rotary machines. Bearing faults break down
of
the mechanism where it is located. Moreover, the faults may cause to malfunction by
spreading to the entire system. Thus this may result in catastrophic failure eventually. Precise
and decisive feature extraction from the raw vibration signal maintains to be one of the
pro
current topics explored for fault diagnosis in bearings. In this study, vibration signals are
obtained from bearings which are formed with artificial faults of specific dimensions from a
bearing test setup. Instead of employing traditional feature extraction methods found in the
literature, a novel feature extraction method for bearing faults called one-dimensional ternary
re-
pattern (1D-TP) is applied. The proposed approach is a statistical method that uses patterns
obtained from comparisons between neighbors of each value on vibration signals. The study
aims to identify the size (mm) of the fault by determining the bearing part (inner ring, outer
ring, ball) from which the faults in the bearings are caused. Several classification techniques
lP
were performed by using ternary patterns with RF (Random Forest), k-NN (k-nearest
neighbor), SVM (Support Vector Machine), BayesNet, ANN (Artificial Neural Networks)
models. As a result of analyzing the signals obtained from the experimental setup with the
proposed model, 91.25% for dataset_1 (different speed), 100% for dataset_2 (fault type -
a
inner ring, outer ring, ball) and 100% for dataset_3 (fault size (mm)) success rates are

determined.

1. INTRODUCTION
Machine motion systems are usually provided with bearing-based rotational mechanisms.
Bearings are high-precision components that allow machines to move at extremely high
speeds and transport large loads efficiently and effectively. In addition to offering high
precision, reliability, and durability, the bearings provide the ability to rotate at high speeds
Journal Pre-proof
with minimum speed, vibration, and friction force. During the process, a bearing is exposed to
friction forces by forming an interface between the stationary and moving part in the machine.
Also, the bearings are affected by overheating or overloading contamination and
manufacturing faults. This kind of faults that can occur in the roller bearing, which is an
indispensable component in automation systems can cause failure to the operation of the
system part and the malfunction in the machine. Predicting bearing faults in advance and
changing the bearing without causing significant damage in the machine is essential in terms
of
of machine health. The presence and level of fault in rotary systems can be determined by
vibration signals. For this reason, the machines must be observed in such a way that the
pro
standard operating vibrations remain the same. Vibration caused by the system or malfunction
by appropriate methods can be detected by various fault monitoring methods. Bearings can be
used in all rotating applications such as cars, airplanes, construction equipment, power tools,
electronics. The bearings are employed as the most important fundamental parts of the mobile
machines. Therefore, the detection fault type and size of bearing has great importance for
re-
efficient machine life [1-9].
The diagnosis or determination of faults in bearings is still one of the state-of-the-art topics.
Researchers usually use data from the on-line database (benchmark) in order to model the
lP
bearing signal. Tahir et al. classified local faults in ball bearings in the time domain by using
statistical features (RMS, mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, crest factor, impulse factor,
shape factor, median, and range). To increase the ability of classifiers to distinguish, the
central tendency-based feature suggested as a pre-processing technique. In this way, they
a
reported that they reduced the effects of fluctuations and increased the accuracy of classifiers.
urn
They used Support Vector Machine(SVM), Bayesian network (BN), decision table, and
decision tree to classify inner and outer bearing defects. They declared that they classified the
features with a very high success rate with this pre-processing method [10]. Wang et al.
proposed a new hybrid approach to the random forest classifier for fault diagnosis of bearings.
They extracted fault features by applying Wavelet Packet Decomposition. They defined the
Jo
best central wavelet cluster for signal preprocessing with signal-to-noise ratio and mean
square error values. They stated that they classified as normal, inner, outer, and ball faulty
bearings with high accuracy of 88.23% using the method proposed in the comparative test
results [11]. Ding et al. proposed a new fusion feature based on locality preserving projections
(LPP) in order to investigate the active role of the excellent mold in error classification.
Individually, the proposed fusion feature was performed in two main steps. In the first step,
Journal Pre-proof
they created a two-class model for both classes, primarily using this signal class and good
signals. Then, they created a fusion map for mathematically combining the maps of LPP or
for the improvement of all two-class models. The authors suggested that the local and global
principal component analysis method had a better performance than the traditional LPP,
whereas the test recognition rate was between 94.2 - 98.8% [12]. Yan et al. proposed a new
fault classification algorithm based on a multi-domain optimized SVM consisting of three
stages (i.e., multi-domain feature extraction, feature selection, and multi-field feature
of
extraction). In the first phase, they applied three approaches (i.e., statistical analysis, FFT and
VMD) separately to extract the fault property information from the multi-domain aspect (e.g.,
pro
time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain). They employed Laplace
scoring algorithm for the feature selection. Finally, they have used the support vector machine
classification model based on particle swarm optimization (PSO-SVM) to implement the
identification of the multiple fault status of the bearings. According to experimental results,
multi-domain features provide higher diagnostic accuracy than single domain features [13].
re-
Ertunc et al. have developed a multi-step decision algorithm based on ANN and ANFIS
models. Both time and frequency domain feature obtained from vibration and current signals
were used to train ANN and ANFIS models. With the multi-stage classification model, they
lP
classify normal, an inner ring or outer ring fault as a heavy, medium, and new fault conditions
with high accuracy. They stated that the ANFIS method performed classification with higher
accuracy than the ANN method [14]. Kavathekar et al. extracted statistical features from the
data obtained from Case Western Reserve University. They then subdivided the features with
a
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) analysis. They have calculated new features with axis
urn
transformations. Thus, they declared that they increased fault classification accuracy.
According to their observation, Rotation Forest Technique performed better than other ANN,
ANFIS, and Random Forest (RF) Techniques [15]. Zhang et al. proposed Improved Symbolic
Aggregate Approach (ISAX) method by developing the Symbolic Aggregate Approach
(SAX) technique that transforms a real-time series into a symbol sequence. They stated that
Jo
with the new method, the characteristics of the mean value within the time frame have
changed with the multiple properties obtained from time, frequency, and time-frequency
domains to obtain comprehensive fault information. After transforming a vibration signal into
a set of symbolic sequences according to the multiple field characteristics by ISAX
transformation, they used Shannon entropy values as the eigenvalues of the symbol sequence.
They used the Kernel Principal Component Analysis (Kernel PCA) to reduce the dimensions
Journal Pre-proof
of these eigenvalues and to extract key features for the classification tasks. The SVM and
ISAX method achieved better accuracy than other conventional methods [16]. Attoui et al.
have proposed a time-frequency procedure which includes both energy of classic wavelet
decomposition packet and also a new feature extraction technique. Initially, the most impulse
frequency bands were selected under different band conditions using a combination of Fast-
Fourier-Transform FFT and Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) algorithms. In order to
maximize the detection of the frequency content, the Wavelet Packet Decomposition (WPD)
of
technique was used to separate the features into different frequency subbands. They have used
the STFT to know exactly which frequency components are obtained in these frequency
pro
subbands. After obtaining the feature vector, the three feature size selection techniques,
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), a feedback wrapper method, and Locality Sensitive
Discriminant Analysis (LSDA) were used. Finally, the ANFIS algorithm used for the
immediate identification and classification of bearing faults. To evaluate the performance of
the proposed method, different test data were adjusted to the trained ANFIS model using
re-
different healthy and faulty bearing conditions under various load levels, fault severity, and
rotational speed. They reported that they achieved 99.83% success with LSDA and ANFIS
models [17]. Singh et al. have aimed to determine incorrect bearing detection, classification,
lP
and location in a three-phase asynchronous motor by using the Stockwell transformation and
the SVM. They applied the Stockwell transformation to the stator current signals to extract
some features in both the time and frequency domain. Many unrelated and high-ranking
features were selected according to the Fisher score order. These features were used in order
a
to classify ball, inner and outer ring defects using the SVM. After detecting the fault, they
have used Stockwell transform to determine whether the faulty bearing is on the fan side or
urn
the load side. They stated that they applied this algorithm with 91.66% success on the
experimental data of faulty bearings collected from the industry [18]. Jiang et al. suggested
semi-supervised kernel Marginal Fisher analysis (SSKMFA) that is a feature extraction
method that can explore the intrinsic manifold structure of this model data set and can
simultaneously take into account the inter-class compactness and inter-class discrimination.
Jo
SSKMFA method is more decisive feature since this method obtains their low-dimensional
features directly from the raw high-dimensional vibration signals by using both the labeled
and unlabeled samples of the internal manifold structure. These features are classified by K-
nearest neighbor (k-NN), which is one of the simplest methods of classification to recognize
different fault categories and the severity of the faults by making them optimally low
dimensional. They indicated that the proposed approach improves the fault recognition
Journal Pre-proof
performance of this approach, and they perform classification with an accuracy rate of 98.5%
[19]. Kaplan et al. used the vibration data obtained from the experiment set that they created
to determine the size of the fault in the inner ring. Then, they used ANN, ANFIS, SVM
method in order to classified fault dimensions by extracting statistical features. According to
the authors' previous studies, they achieved a 100% accuracy by performing a more efficient
classification with the SVM model [20-24].
of
As seen in literature, some of the features extraction methods implemented in previous
research include Discrete Wavelet Transform, FFT, STFT, WPD, and other methods. Every
method has its own advantages and limitations. Bearing vibration signals are nonlinear, time-
pro
varying, and unstable. It is well-know that FFT is a global linear method. However, a
frequency spectrum does not reflect the frequency changes over the time domain; thus, FFT,
STFT has some limitations when applied to non-stationary signal analysis. The features
extracted by such methods exhibit poor compatibility. The future work must primarily focus
re-
on feature extraction from a bearing vibration signal using more statistical data. In this study,
a new feature extraction method is proposed for vibration signals. One-dimensional local
ternary patterns (1D-TP) method was used to extract features from raw vibration signals. The
TP method is generally used in image processing for texture analysis. In the study, the 1D-TP
lP
method has been developed to describe the sharp waves in the vibration signals adequately.
The most important advantages of the proposed method are; the first is that it uses all the
values on the vibration signal, and the second one is that it is simple, fast, and real-time
applicable. According to the results of the study, it was observed that the 1D-TP approach

The data used in the study was obtained from the bearing-shaft assembly connected to an AC
servo motor, as in Figure 1. The test setup consists of an AC servo motor, LVD drive, two-
axis vibration sensor, radial, and axial pressure valves, NIDAQ 6211 data acquisition card
Jo
(DAQ), and signal conditioners. This type of servo motors is generally two-phase squirrel
cage asynchronous motors. Two-phase asynchronous motors are made of large-power but
mostly used in automatic control systems as small servo motors. As there is no brush and
collector, they are less likely to malfunction and easy to maintain. The purpose of this engine
is to achieve the desired high-speed levels by minimizing external vibrations. The LVD (Low
Voltage Directive) is used as a servo motor driver. PCB 352C65 SN77267 sensor is used to
Journal Pre-proof
sense the vibrations. These sensors operate according to gravity and with the resulting
vibrations; minimal signals are obtained using piezoelectric material. The data collected via
the sensor was passed through the amplifier and sent to the NIDAQ card. The signal from the
vibration sensor is converted to an electrical signal using a signal amplifier. The condenser
with one channel output can rise to 200 kHz signal. It can also output 24 Volt sensors from 2
mA to 20 mA. DAQ cards, which simplify testing and measurement, are the most suitable
systems for data collection. For the bearing data collection system, the NIDAQ - 6211 card is
of
used. There are also signal conditioners associated with the sensor to regulate and amplify the
vibration signals. Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of the test setup. [25].

accelerometer sensor on the Y-axis. One bar axial and radial load pneumatic pressure is

One-dimensional ternary patterns (1D-TP) method was developed from the local ternary
patterns, which is widely used in image processing techniques. The developed method is used
urn
for feature extraction from one-dimensional signals. The value of each member on a vector of
signal is compared to neighbors and this comparison information is considered as new values
on the signal [18]. Binary codes are generated as a result of comparisons between neighbors
for each value of the signal. The decimal responses of these codes are considered as a new
Jo
signal expressing the signal. In the 1D-TP method, P represents the neighboring number of
each value on the signal. The number of P/2 neighbors is taken previously and after each
value of the signal. In Figure 8, the steps of the 1D-TP method are shown on an example. As
seen in the figure, four neighbor values were taken before and after the Pc (center) value [26].

total number of neighbor to be considered. In this study, the P-value is taken 8. The parameter

(β) in the developed method is assigned by the user. The comparison of the center value with
the neighbor values is carried out with the following Equation (Figure 8 (B)).
(1)
Journal Pre-proof
Ternary patterns are obtained depending on the parameter (β). The value of this parameter is
determined by the user according to the amplitude of the signal. In this study, the value of this
parameter is determined by the user according to the standard deviation of neighboring
values. The local variation changes with ±β. Therefore, different values of β should be tried
for different signals. The β parameter is vital for obtaining different patterns. Besides, this
of
parameter can be considered as bandwidth on the signals. With this parameter, the center
value is fixed with ± β. Therefore, as seen in Figure 9, neighbors for each Pc value are filtered
according to the β parameter.

After the filtering by β parameter, two decimal values are generated with comparisons for the
Pc value. While the sub-features are produced by the negative ones ( ), the upper
properties are obtained by the positive ones ( ). Different values obtained from
the lower and upper values are stored as two different values of the center value (Figure 8
(C)). After applying these operations to the whole signal, two different signals are obtained.
Journal Pre-proof
Two different sets of features are obtained from the histograms of these two different signal
groups. In the case of P = 8, 28 = P = 256 features are obtained from each signal. Histograms in
the form of different lengths can be obtained with P. In the case where P is 6, 8, 10,
respectively 64 (26), 256 (28) and 1024 (210) features can be produced. In this proposed
method, P and β parameters play an important role in obtaining different patterns. The values
of these two parameters should be decided by trial and error. The 1D-TP signals obtained by
applying the 1D-TP method to the sample vibration sets and the histograms of the sub-
of
features extracted from these signals are shown in Figure 10.

According to the confusion matrix, some performance metrics can be obtained. The most
re-
popular and straightforward method for determining the performance of the proposed model
was the accuracy rate of the model. The accuracy is defined as the ratio of the (TP + TN) to
the (TP + TN + FP + FN) [27-29]. Accuracy, error-rate, precision, and f-measure metrics
were used in this study. The metrics values are calculated by the following equations [30].

A new feature extraction approach is proposed for the classification of bearing vibration
signals. The proposed method is based on statistical information obtained as a result of
comparisons between the neighbors of each value on one-dimensional vibration signals. Two
Journal Pre-proof
different sets of features were obtained from the proposed ternary patterns method. The most
important feature of the 1D-TP method is the precision and ease of calculation for the smallest
changes in the signals. The β threshold parameter can be used at different scales to obtain
different features from the signals [31]. This user-defined parameter takes into account
different amplitude ranges for feature extraction. Therefore, this parameter provides an
important essential advantage for capturing patterns separating the signals from each other.
The effect of the β parameter for the same sign is shown in Figure 14.
of
When the figures are taken into consideration, it is seen that different patterns are obtained
from the same signal with the β parameter. This change makes it possible to differ for both the
pro
low and up features. Therefore, low and up features can be recognized from each other. In
addition, if the β value increases, the distribution of the obtained features shows skewness to
the left. Increasing bandwidth may cause some patterns to disappear. Therefore, β should be
decided as a result of the tests according to the signals.

The other parameter of the 1D-TP method is P, which indicates the neighbor number. 1D-TP
analysis can be performed using different P values. When generating the 1D-TP plane, the

large values of P increase both the feature histogram and also increase the cost of the
operation. Small values of P can cause significant loss of information. Appropriate P and β
values should be decided upon as a result of trials. Combinations of vibration signals obtained
in different situations were used to test the proposed method. The obtained ternary patterns
were used as features, and different machine learning methods with 10-fold cross-validation
test were used for classification. The classification success rates for the patterns obtained with

Table 4 shows that high success rates are obtained. High classification success rates have been
achieved with both lower and upper pattern features. Achieving high success rates shows that
the original features characterize the type and size of the bearing fault very well.
re-
Dataset_1 and dataset_2, in other words, a 100% success rate in the classification of signals of
fault types and different fault sized signal were observed. However, lower success rates were
observed in the classification of the signals in different rpm (Dataset_3). Bearing fault
lP
analysis tests were performed for five different speed values (1500 - 1740 - 1800 - 1860 -
2100 rpm). The performance values of the original feature method were investigated by
selecting lower ranges. As the values of rpm are very close to each other (1740 - 1800 -
1860), there are deviations in the disturbance matrix, as seen in Table 5. The most significant
a
factor in the occurrence of these deviations is that the vibration signals obtained from the
experimental setup are very similar. Therefore, the highest success rate for the classification
urn
of speed signals was 91.25%. The highest success rate for different classification procedures
was observed with RF. Overall, the success rates obtained with the sub-feature groups were
more successful than the upper feature groups. The confusion matrix obtained for the
classification of different rpm signals by RF is given in Table 5.

As seen in table five, all samples for H1 and H5 are categorized correctly with both lower and
upper feature groups. However, it is seen that all samples for H2, H3, and H4 are not
classified correctly. The success rate of H2, H3, and H4 signals are very close to each other
because the test conditions are very close to each other.
of
Other performance measures obtained by RF using the upper and lower feature sets obtained
from the vibration signals at different rpm speeds are shown in Table 6. When comparing the
tables, one can notice that other performance criteria are also observed as high. Hence, it can
pro
be seen that the original features developed for the study and the classification models were
very well adapted to each other.
To test the effectiveness of the proposed 1D-TP feature extraction method for fearing fault
classification, it is compared with the feature groups obtained from the same signals both in
time and frequency domain. From the frequency and time domain, the statistical features
Jo
(min, max, average, median, energy, kurtosis, distortion, entropy, correlation, and variation
coefficient) were obtained. Classification by RF was performed using these features. The
success rates are shown in Table 7.
From Table 7, it is observed that the features obtained by the proposed feature extraction
methods have higher success than those obtained from the time and frequency domain. It has
of
also been observed that the features obtained from the signals in the frequency domain are
more successful than the same features obtained from the same signals in the time domain in
fearing fault classification.

The most important advantages of the proposed method are that it is fast and real-time
applications. The feature extraction and classification process were performed on a computer
with Intel Core i5 processor, 8 GB RAM and a windows operating system with Matlab
R2017b. Feature vectors were obtained from 1D-TP, time, and frequency domains. Table 8
re-
shows the time is taken (sec.) for the creation of feature vectors.
When looking at Table 8, feature vectors from bearing vibration signals were obtained faster

than other methods by the 1D-TP method. It is also observed that obtaining the feature vectors
from the time domain is faster than the frequency domain.
Gaussian noises are added to the bearing vibration signals to test the proposed method against
noise. 10 dB signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) noise was added to the signals for three datasets.

Features were obtained with 1D-TP from noisy signals, and the classification process was
performed with different machine learning methods. The results obtained are given in Table 9.
When Table 9 is examined, more unsuccessful results were obtained with the feature groups
formed with 1D-TP from noisy signals. However, acceptable results were observed.

4.3. Effect of β Parameter
In the study, different values for β were tested to show the effect of β parameter. For the
pro
dataset_1 signals, the classification was performed by using the low and up feature sets. The
success rates are given in Table 10. It can be seen from Table 10 that different patterns are
obtained with the β parameter as seen from the success rates. The value of the parameter β
should be decided upon by trials. In the study, the value of β parameter is taken as the
multiples of the standard deviation of the values on the signals. As the β value increases, the
re-
power of the ternary patterns is reduced due to the decrease in the signals above and below the
bandwidth. When β = 0.5xSD was taken for dataset_1, the high accuracy was obtained with
both low and up feature vectors. However, as the β value increases, for example, β = 3xSD,

In Table 11, we provide a comprehensive list of the Bearing Fault method in the literature. As
seen in the literature, success rates between 75% and 100% have been reported. A new
approach was tested for three different sets created in this study. According to the obtained
Jo
results, success rates between 91.25% and 100% were obtained in the classification of
vibration signals by the proposed feature extraction method with RF classifier.

5. DISCUSSION
In today's manufacturing industry, machine automation systems are widely used. When we
of
examine these systems, machine movement is provided through bearings. The bearings are
used as a transition element between rotary and fixed parts in machines. Even if the costs of
the bearings are too low compared to the machines, the malfunctions on the bearing can cause
pro
malfunctions in the whole mechanism and disruptions in the system.
When the literature is examined, many research studies are using different feature extraction
schemes and benchmark datasets for fault classification techniques. In this study, the models
re-
are generated in order to predict the fault type, size, and the rotational speed of the motor. For
this purpose, firstly, bearing test setup has been established. Afterward, sensitive artificial
errors of specific sizes were created by a laser beam to the bearings to be used in the
experimental setup. Artificial faults created by the laser beam were examined under a
lP
microscope, and their sensitivities were examined. Since detection and diagnosis of bearing
failures is a complex process, a new feature extraction method is proposed for bearing
vibration signals. 1D-TP is a statistical approach that uses binary comparisons with neighbors
of each value on signals. Therefore, this method is efficient and robust feature extraction
a
procedure. With 1D-TP, two different sets of feature vectors are obtained from each signal.
Since these features are the best representations of vibration signals, it has been observed that
urn
performance rates are increased. These datasets were used for different machine learning
methods. According to the obtained results, 91.25% for dataset1 (different speed), 100% for
dataset2 (fault type - inner ring, outer ring, ball) and 100% for dataset3 (fault size (mm))
success rate were obtained in the classification of vibration signals by the proposed method
Jo
with RF classifier. The most important advantages of the proposed method are that it is fast
and real-time applicable.
Besides, the proposed 1D-TP feature extraction method is compared with the feature groups
obtained from the same signals both in time and frequency domain in terms of time-
complexity and accuracy results. It is observed that the features obtained by the proposed
Journal Pre-proof
feature extraction methods have higher success rates and better time complexity than those
obtained from the time and frequency domain.
