An Unsupervised Classification Method for Flame Image of Pulverized Coal Combustion Based on Convolutional Auto-Encoder and Hidden Markov Model

Combustion condition monitoring is a fundamental and critical issue that needs to be addressed in the wide-load operation of coal-fired boilers. In this paper, an unsupervised classification framework based on the convolutional auto-encoder (CAE), the principal component analysis (PCA), and the hidd...
