Existing data-driven and transfer learning (TL) methods often struggle with real-time diagnosis, insufficient generalization across domains, and the inability to adapt to continuously evolving fault conditions. To address these limitations, this article proposes a novel cross-domain online fault diagnosis framework (CDODF). The framework leverages the contrastive language-image pretraining (CLIP) model to extract robust, domain-invariant features from limited fault data. To further enable cross-domain adaptation without costly fine-tuning, a lightweight Adapter module is introduced, which incorporates few-shot learning and online adaptation to target-domain features. Moreover, CDODF supports a continuous learning strategy that dynamically updates the model using accumulated target-domain data, ensuring long-term adaptability and diagnostic accuracy. Experimental results across scenarios, including cross-working conditions, cross-device diagnosis, and emerging fault types, show that CDODF consistently outperforms existing deep learning (DL), TL, and few-shot methods.","PeriodicalId":13341,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement","volume":"74 ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these studies often ignore the significant data characteristics related to the spatial location of defect clusters on the wafer map itself. To address this issue, we designed an RingDistanceConv (RDConv) module to consider the impact of two types of position information—coordinates and distances—on wafer map defect recognition and proposed the position-aware self-supervised learning framework.

The performance of 3-D indoor positioning is constrained by the low performance of consumer-grade micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) inertial measurement unit (IMU), the lack of effective calibration for the barometer, and the poor adaptability to complex human motion modes. To address the above challenges, this article proposes an enhanced waist-mounted human tracking framework based on array IMU and barometer (EWHT-AIB) that combines array IMU data fusion, precise barometer calibration, and a motion-constrained position-attitude update algorithm to achieve robust and accurate indoor positioning. To enhance array IMU data fusion performance, a weighted data fusion algorithm for array IMU based on the bias instability coefficients is proposed to achieve effective weighted fusion of array IMU data. Subsequently, a barometer calibration algorithm based on nonlinear fitting is proposed to achieve accurate compensation for bias error and scale factor error of the barometer. Finally, a position-attitude update algorithm under motion constraints is designed to achieve accurate pedestrian 3-D indoor positioning using compensated array IMU and barometer data. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed EWHT-AIB framework can achieve meter level positioning accuracy under typical indoor environments.","PeriodicalId":13341,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement","volume":"74 ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, detecting insulator parallel gaps from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) captured images is challenged by complex backgrounds, structural distortion, and occlusion. Thus, a hierarchical detection method incorporating lightweight localization and attention mechanism-based diagnosis (KLSD-HDet) is proposed, which uses a localization network to capture the faults and then conducts fault diagnosis. First, to accurately capture target objects, a lightweight fault localization network (KDeFus-LNet) is designed, with nonlinear feature extraction (NFE) and target localization capabilities in complex backgrounds enhanced. Second, leveraging the spatial geometric information from 3-D fault models, a multiview fault image generation method is developed to compensate for the missing feature representations of partial viewpoints in real-world datasets. Then, a cross-space learning and multiscale residual-based fault diagnosis network (S-CR2-DNet) is proposed to improve multiview fault representation understanding and diagnostic accuracy. Finally, knowledge distillation is employed to lightweight S-CR2-DNet, enhancing its practical applicability.

Moreover, compounded by the emergence of previously unseen fault types, severely undermine the generalization capability of conventional intelligent diagnostic methods. Although existing open-set domain adaptation (OSDA) methods attempt to address unknown classes, most still rely on the assumption of full label space consistency, limiting their applicability under complex and uncertain industrial conditions. To overcome these limitations, this article proposes a novel model for generalized open-set cross-working condition fault diagnosis, named multistrategy progressive adaptation network (MSPAN). The model allows for partial class overlap between source and target domains, each containing private classes, thereby reducing reliance on strict label alignment, complete class coverage, and prior knowledge of the target domain. This significantly enhances the model’s adaptability and flexibility under realistic operating conditions. MSPAN integrates three core strategies: centroid-guided expansion (CGE), progressive consensus filtering (PCF), and localized knowledge integration (LKI). CGE expands the label space with pseudo-target domain samples, alleviating interference from private classes in the source domain; PCF combines dual measure-driven ranking and consensus-aware estimation to adaptively filter unknown classes in the target domain; LKI focuses on learning unknown-class representations while enhancing the transferability of general diagnostic knowledge across domains. Extensive experiments on the PU and NLN-ESP public datasets demonstrate that MSPAN achieves both accurate shared-class diagnosis and effective unknown-class separation under varying degrees of class overlap and openness. These results validate its robustness, generalization ability, and practical potential for deployment in complex industrial fault diagnosis scenarios.","PeriodicalId":13341,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement","volume":"74 ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, displacement monitoring (also known as “shape sensing”) and damage detection and localization of a twist beam are performed to ensure the high structural health of automotive components during operation. For this purpose, we use a superior sensing algorithm based on sensor data, the inverse finite element method (iFEM), which can predict shape changes in real time and perform damage diagnosis in the entire structural domain. The iFEM formulation is based on the most widely used inverse element in this field, the inverse four-node shell (iQS4). First, the sensor placement model of the composite control arm is investigated by numerical iFEM/iQS4 analysis to embed the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors at optimal positions in the laminate. Then, an experimental iFEM analysis (with physical sensor data) is performed to verify the numerical iFEM results, and a damage identification analysis is performed with the verified numerical strain data. In the final step, the numerical and experimental results are compared holistically to investigate the applicability of iFEM for vehicle components. The results of this comparison show the high precision of the real-time iFEM/iQS4 deformation reconstruction of the control arm and demonstrate the superior capabilities of damage detection and localization.","PeriodicalId":13341,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement","volume":"74 ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
