This paper presents a novel feature extraction method using the advantages of variational mode decomposition (VMD), fluctuation-based dispersion entropy (FDE) and self-organizing feature map (SOM). Firstly, VMD decomposition of the original signal is used to get a group of bandwidth-limited intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Then, the difference between the FDE of each IMF and the original signal is calculated, respectively; the IMF with the smallest difference (SIMF) is selected to calculate the FDE as the feature vector. Finally, the characteristic vectors are sent to the SOM classifier to categorize the original signal. The proposed method is applied to feature extraction of real ship-radiated noise signals. The results show that this method is more precise for ship-radiated noise signals feature extraction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e21030235","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,4]],"date-time":"2019-03-04T05:22:26Z","timestamp":1551676946000},"page":"235","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["A New Ship-Radiated Noise Feature Extraction Technique Based on Variational Mode Decomposition and Fluctuation-Based Dispersion Entropy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7028-5879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hong","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Posts and Telecommunications, Xi\u2019an 710121, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Posts and Telecommunications, Xi\u2019an 710121, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8175-4311","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guohui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Posts and Telecommunications, Xi\u2019an 710121, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"5","article-title":"Study on feature extraction of ship radiated noise based on higher order spectrum and cepstrum","volume":"28","author":"Zeng","year":"2011","journal-title":"Comput.
