Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) are algorithms for analyzing data from non-linear and non-stationary systems. EMD decomposes signals into Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) through a process called sifting. The sifting process identifies local extrema and decomposes the signal into IMFs until a monotonic residual function remains. HHT then applies the Hilbert transform to each IMF to obtain the instantaneous frequency. While traditional methods assume linearity and stationarity, HHT is suitable for real-world non-linear and non-stationary signals through the EMD sifting process.
