Fault Diagnosis Under Variable Working Conditions Enhanced by Diffusion Models
摘要
Reliable fault diagnosis for civil aircraft operating under variable working conditions is crucial for ensuring safety and operational efficiency. However, the limited availability of high-confidence fault samples poses significant challenges, including reduced inference accuracy and an increased risk of overfitting. To address these issues, we propose the Condition Diffusion-based Fault Diagnosis (CDFD) method, which employs a denoising diffusion model to generate high-confidence fault samples. Unlike conventional diffusion models that primarily focus only on sample distribution inference, CDFD integrates sample generation with decision-making optimization. This integration facilitates the generation of high-confidence data and enhances the generalization capability of the diagnostic process. Experimental results on both simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving fault diagnosis performance.
