Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for onset time detection of a time-domain acoustic emission signal based on histogram distance. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring an acoustic emission signal; dividing the signal into two intervals with a sliding point k as the demarcation point; obtaining the relative frequency histograms of two adjacent intervals; obtaining histogram distance of the relative frequency histograms of two adjacent intervals; moving the sliding point k to the next element to obtain two new intervals and generating new histograms of the two new intervals and calculating the histogram distance of two new intervals; searching for the point which gives the maximum value of the histogram distances, and the corresponding time to this point is regarded as the onset time.
