A novel method for spacecraft electrical fault detection based on FCM clustering and WPSVM classification with PCA feature extraction

Abstract

The measurement of spacecraft electrical characteristics and multi-label classification issues are generally including a large amount of unlabeled test data processing, high-dimensional feature redundancy, time-consumed computation, and identification of slow rate. In this paper, a fuzzy c-means offline (FCM) clustering algorithm and the approximate weighted proximal support vector machine (WPSVM) online recognition approach have been proposed to reduce the feature size and improve the speed of classification of electrical characteristics in the spacecraft. In addition, the main component analysis for the complex signals based on the principal component feature extraction is used for the feature selection process. The data capture contribution approach by using thresholds is furthermore applied to resolve the selection problem of the principal component analysis (PCA), which effectively guarantees the validity and consistency of the data. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach in this paper can obtain better fault diagnosis results of the spacecraft electrical characteristics’ data, improve the accuracy of identification, and shorten the computing time with high efficiency.
