Your project:

This thesis focuses on improving an embedded bearing fault detection algorithm deployed on the COSAMIRA Edge platform.

The objective is to perform a state-of-the-art analysis of carrier frequency selection techniques (e.g., kurtogram-based methods, Protrugram, Infogram, IESFOgram etc...”) and evaluate their suitability for embedded implementation.

Main challenges include:

• Reliable automatic selection of the optimal demodulation band
• Robustness to speed variation and operational noise
• Low computational and memory footprint
• Real-time feasibility on embedded hardware
• Clean and efficient C++ implementation
• The outcome will be an adaptive, embedded-ready carrier frequency selection module enabling more reliable and earlier bearing fault detection.
