When subjected to corrosion, structural changes in the material occur, leading to energy releases as acoustic waves. This acoustic activity can in turn be used for corrosion monitoring, and even for predicting the type of corrosion. Here we apply wavelet packet decomposition to extract features from acoustic emission signals. We then use the extracted wavelet packet coefficients for distinguishing between the most important types of corrosion processes in the chemical process industry: uniform corrosion, pitting and stress corrosion cracking. The local discriminant basis selection algorithm can be considered as a standard for the selection of the most discriminative wavelet coefficients. However, it does not take the statistical dependencies between wavelet coefficients into account. We show that, when these dependencies are ignored, a lower accuracy is obtained in predicting the corrosion type. We compare several mutual information filters to take these dependencies into account in order to arrive at a more accurate prediction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s110605695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,27]],"date-time":"2011-05-27T10:58:12Z","timestamp":1306493892000},"page":"5695-5715","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Information Theory Filters for Wavelet Packet Coefficient Selection with Application to Corrosion Type Identification from Acoustic Emission Signals"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Gert","family":"Van Dijck","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computational Neuroscience Research Group, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Herestraat 49, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Marc M.","family":"Van Hulle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computational Neuroscience Research Group, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Herestraat 49, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"34","article-title":"A new approach to corrosion monitoring","volume":"114","author":"Kane","year":"2007","journal-title":"Chem.
