Attoh-Okine The empirical mode decomposition EMD was recently proposed as a new time-frequency analysis tool for nonstationary and nonlinear signals. Although the EMD is able to find the intrinsic modes of a signal and is completely self-adaptive it does not have any implication on reconstruction optimality. In some situations when a specified optimality is desired for signal reconstruction a more flexible scheme is required. We propose a modified method for signal reconstruction based on the EMD that enhances the capability of the EMD to meet a specified optimality criterion. The proposed reconstruction algorithm gives the best estimate of a given signal in the minimum mean square error sense. Two different formulations are proposed. The first formulation utilizes a linear weighting for the intrinsic mode functions IMF . The second algorithm adopts a bidirectional weighting namely it not only uses weighting for IMF modes but also exploits the correlations between samples in a specific window and carries out filtering of these samples. These two new EMD reconstruction methods enhance the capability of the traditional EMD reconstruction and are well suited for optimal signal recovery. Examples are given to show the applications of the proposed optimal EMD algorithms to simulated and real signals. Copyright 2008 B. Weng and K. E. Barner.
