Welsh DSP Estimate and EMD Applied to Leak Detection in a Water Distribution Pipeline
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This work deals to introduce a new idea inspired from the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) technique in order to detect a leak in water distribution networks (WDN). Welsh's power spectral density (WPSDE) is used to locate the frequency band in which leaks occur. Leaks produce acoustic and vibration signals propagating along the pipeline, which have nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics. Hydraulic pressure, the nature and diameter of the pipe as well as the size of the leak are considered as sources acting on the leakage signals. The analysis of such leakage signals using conventional methods is limited by the choice of the narrow bands and cause therefore the loss of useful information. EMD is a technique that allows the decomposition of a signal in the time domain as stationary oscillatory signals called intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), which can be processed separately. Experiments were carried out to verify the validity of the proposed method. That shows its best performances in detecting leaks. For the localization, we applied the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) technique that has the potential to locate leaks at greater distances from a measurement point and proved its efficiency.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
