High Frequency Data Compression for Diesel Engine Monitoring

Liyuan Cai, Hao Luo, Yao Chen, Lianfang Wang, Liyong Ma · 2021

In Marine diesel engine vibration monitoring system, a large number of high frequency data can be detected by high frequency sensors. Using data compression technology can effectively reduce the amount of data monitored by the ship vibration monitoring system and improve the communication efficiency of the system. In this paper, a lossless compression method combining variational mode decomposition (VMD) and run length encoding (RLE) for marine diesel high-frequency data is proposed. First, the signal is decomposed by VMD, and then the decomposed sub-signals and residual signals are encoded. In order to obtain better compression ratio, the compression method of RLE and Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) is adopted. Experimental results show that this method can compress data effectively for high frequency signal of diesel engine morning and save network bandwidth.
