Aiming at the multi-source interference signals in wire rope inspection, while common morphological filtering methods with traditional structuring elements are hard to distinguish, a new wavelet structuring element-based one-dimensional (1D) generalized morphological filtering method is proposed. First, principles and related theories of the generalized morphological filter are introduced and then the new wavelet structuring elements are analyzed. Thereafter, simulation and comparison regarding common structuring element morphological filter and the new wavelet function-based models are conducted through signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and mean square error (MSE) analysis. Meanwhile, the influence of different noises and main structuring element parameters of length L, amplitude H to the signal processing results are revealed. Finally, experiments for different wire rope defects inspection by magnetic flux leakage testing are conducted, and characterizations of the wavelet structuring element-based morphological filtering methods are presented and compared through six case studies. Besides, the superior performance of the wavelet structuring morphological gradient models are compared and validated by short-time Fourier transform, SNR, MSE analysis, and quantitative defect recognition. The comparison results show that db4 and sym4 wavelet structuring elements-based 1D morphological filter features the highest wire rope defect detection and signal recognition accuracy under the gradient operation, which demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods. Additionally, advantages and disadvantages of the new models are summarized and discussed.
