For the feature tensor of multi-sensor signals classification problem in gear intelligent fault diagnosis, a new tensor classifier named nearest neighbor convex hull tensor classification (NNCHTC) is proposed in this paper. First, the convex hull distance from a test tensor sample to the convex hull is taken as the similarity measure for classification. Then, the convex hull distance calculation is transformed into the feature tensor inner product, and CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) decomposition is applied to the calculation process to capture the intrinsic information of the feature tensor.
