N2  - A novel detection method and targets signal extraction algorithm for parallel steel pipeline localization and defects recognition based on harmonic magnetic field are proposed. An orthogonal vector differential focusing array detector was designed, which radiates high-frequency (HF) and ultra-low-frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves to pipeline based on the principle of Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW), and records the signals in parallel using high-sensitivity Tunnel Magneto Resistance (TMR) array sensors. The joint signal pre-processing algorithm of Combination Morphological Pulse Elimination (CMPE) and Quantum Genetic Gaussian Potential Stochastic Resonance (QGGPSR) is proposed to improve signal quality by adaptively eliminating random pulse and noise. The timefrequency analysis algorithm Complementary Ensemble Local Mean Decomposition (CELMD) is used to decompose the pipeline defects signal in detail, and the appropriate components are selected and fused into a correlation array signal cluster. Finally, the targets signal are separated by Limited-memory BFGS Independent Component Analysis (L-BFGS-ICA) based on machine learning optimization to enhance their legibility. The magnetic dipole harmonic simulation model and the 20# steel parallel pipeline experimental platform are established, and compared with the passive detection method to verify the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method. The results show that this method can accurately locate parallel pipelines and detect different kinds of defects in noisy environment, which is of great significance for the application of non-contact Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in practical engineering. © 2021 Elsevier Publishing    Keywords: Pipeline transportation<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
