<p>The performance of feature is essential to the degradation state identification for hydraulic pumps. The initial feature set extracted from the vibration signal of the hydraulic pump is often high-dimensional and contains redundant information, which undermines the effectiveness of the feature set. The novel three-stage feature fusion scheme proposed in this paper aims to enhance the performance of the original features extracted from the vibration signal. First, sparse local Fisher discriminant analysis (SLFDA) performs intra-set fusion within the two original feature sets, respectively. SLFDA has a good effect on samples with intra-class multimodality, and the feature set fused by it has obvious multivariate normal distribution characteristics, which is conducive to the next fusion. Second, our modified intra-class correlation analysis (MICA) is used to fuse two feature sets in the second stage. MICA is a CCA (Canonical correlation analysis) -based method. A new class matrix is used to modify the covariance matrix between two feature sets, which allows MICA to conveniently inherit the discriminating structure while fusing features. Finally, we propose a feature selection algorithm based on kernel local Fisher discriminant analysis (KLFDA) and kernel canonical correlation analysis (KCCA) to select the desired features. This algorithm based on Max-Relevance and Min-Redundancy (mRMR) framework solves the problem that CCA cannot properly evaluate the correlation between features and the class variable, as well as accurately evaluates the correlation among features. Based on the experimental data, the proposed method is compared with several popular methods, and the feature fusion methods used in some previous studies related to the fault diagnosis of rotating machinery are compared with it as well. The results show that the fusion effectiveness of our method is better than other methods, which obtains higher recognition accuracy.</p>
