The proposed method still has some implementation issues about templates selection and the subsequent adjustment. The sifting result of PLS-EMD reveal the mode mixing problem to some extent from the preprocessing results displayed above.
Are there any alternate methods to select the candidate templates and adjust the selected template to get better recognition results? How to relieve the mode mixing problem? It is valuable to investigate this issue in the future.
