Improving the readability of time-frequency and time-scale representations by the reassignment method

TLDR
The reassignment method, first applied by Kodera, Gendrin, and de Villedary (1976) to the spectrogram, is generalized to any bilinear time-frequency or time-scale distribution.
Abstract
In this paper, the use of the reassignment method, first applied by Kodera, Gendrin, and de Villedary (1976) to the spectrogram, is generalized to any bilinear time-frequency or time-scale distribution. This method creates a modified version of a representation by moving its values away from where they are computed, so as to produce a better localization of the signal components. We first propose a new formulation of this method, followed by a thorough theoretical study of its characteristics. Its practical use for a large variety of known time-frequency and time-scale distributions is then addressed. Finally, some experimental results are reported to demonstrate the performance of this method. >

Synchrosqueezed wavelet transforms: An empirical mode decomposition-like tool

TL;DR: This paper introduces a precise mathematical definition for a class of functions that can be viewed as a superposition of a reasonably small number of approximately harmonic components, and proves that the method does indeed succeed in decomposing arbitrary functions in this class.

A comparison study of improved Hilbert–Huang transform and wavelet transform: Application to fault diagnosis for rolling bearing

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) was proposed for rolling bearing fault detection. And the improved HHT's performance was compared with that of the wavelet-based scalogram through experimental case studies.

The wavelet transform, time-frequency localization and signal analysis

TL;DR: Two different procedures for effecting a frequency analysis of a time-dependent signal locally in time are studied and the notion of time-frequency localization is made precise, within this framework, by two localization theorems.
