This paper proposes a new framework for leak diagnosis in pipelines using leak-augmented scalograms and deep learning. Acoustic emission (AE) scalogram images obtained from the continuous wavelet transform have been useful for pipeline health diagnosis, particularly when combined with deep learning. However, background noise has a significant impact on AE signals, which can reduce the accuracy of pipeline health identification using classification models. To address this issue, a new type of scalograms called leak-augmented scalogram is introduced, which enhances the variation in colour intensities of AE scalogram images. The leak-augmented scalograms are obtained by pre-processing them using image-enhancing Gaussian and Laplacian filters. The proposed method utilizes convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and convolutional autoencoders (CAEs) for feature extraction. The CNN extracts patterns specific to local changes, while the CAE extracts holistic patterns from the leak-augmented scalograms. The resulting leak susceptible and leak holistic indicators are merged into a single feature pool and provided as input to a shallow artificial neural network (ANN) to evaluate pipeline health conditions. The proposed method achieves high classification as well as accuracy, precision, F-1 Score and recall, compared to existing state of the art methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
