Recently, advance signal analysis which is called "Time-Frequency Analysis" has been developed. Wavelet and Wigner Distribution are used to the method. Wavelet transform(WT) is applied to time-frequency analysis of waveforms obtained by an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique. The Gabor function is adopted as the analyzing wavelet. Wavelet analysis method is an attractive technique for evolution of material characterization evoluation. In this paper, the feasibility of suppression of ultrasonic background noise signal using WT has been presented. These results suggest that ultrasonic background noise ginal can be suppressed and enhanced even for SNR of 20.8 dB. This property of the WT is extremely useful for the detecting flaw echos embedded in background noise.und noise.

This paper presents digital hearing aids signal processing system in WT(wavelet transform) domain. For implementation of hearing aids in WT domain, the gain in frequency domain is approximated in WT domain. We also present the gain selection algorithm to deal with the change of input signal power. Most transform methods produce blocking effect, and this effect degrades the convergence rate of feedback canceller. As a solution, we proposed wavelet transform bascd feedback canceller. To evaluate the performance, we compared it with LOT (lapped orthogonal transform) method in the frequency domain. This system has not shown the blocking effect, and improves convergence rate as compared with the LOT based feedback canceller.

In view of the fact that gas insulated switchgear (GIS) is an important piece of equipment in a substation, it is highly desirable to continuously monitor the state of equipment by measuring the partial discharge (PD) activity in a GIS, as PD is a symptom of an insulation weakness/breakdown. However, since the PD signal is relatively weak and the external noise makes detection of the PD signal difficult, it therefore requires careful attention in its detection. In this paper, the algorithm for detection of PD in the GIS using the wavelet transform (WT) is proposed. The WT provides a direct quantitative measure of the spectral content and dynamic spectrum in the time-frequency domain. The most appropriate mother wavelet for this application is the Daubechies 4 (db4) wavelet. 'db4', the most commonly applied mother wavelet in the power quality analysis, is very well suited to detecting high frequency signals of very short duration, such as those associated with the PD phenomenon. The proposed algorithm is based on utilizing the absolute sum value of coefficients, which are a combination of D1 (Detail 1) and D2 (Detail 2) in multiresolution signal decomposition (MSD) based on WT after noise elimination and normalization.

Electricity price forecasting has become an integral part of power system operation and control. In this paper, a wavelet transform (WT) based neural network (NN) model to forecast price profile in a deregulated electricity market has been presented. The historical price data has been decomposed into wavelet domain constitutive sub series using WT and then combined with the other time domain variables to form the set of input variables for the proposed forecasting model. The behavior of the wavelet domain constitutive series has been studied based on statistical analysis. It has been observed that forecasting accuracy can be improved by the use of WT in a forecasting model. Multi-scale analysis from one to seven levels of decomposition has been performed and the empirical evidence suggests that accuracy improvement is highest at third level of decomposition. Forecasting performance of the proposed model has been compared with (i) a heuristic technique, (ii) a simulation model used by Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), (iii) a Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) model, (iv) NN model, (v) Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model, (vi) Dynamic Regression (DR) model, and (vii) Transfer Function (TF) model. Forecasting results show that the performance of the proposed WT based NN model is satisfactory and it can be used by the participants to respond properly as it predicts price before closing of window for submission of initial bids.

비디오 압축에 사용되는 움직임 예측은 많은 계산과정을 요구하기 때문에 전체적인 부호기 복잡도를 높이는 단점을 지닌다. 이러한 부호기의 복잡도를 줄이기 위해 3D-WT과 같은 움직임 예측을 사용하지 않는 연구들이 소개되고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 3D-WT 기법들은 부호화를 위한 과도한 메모리 요구사항과 복호를 위한 수신 측의 지연시간이 가장 큰 단점으로 지적되었다. 본 논문에서는 수정된 Haar wavelet filter와 개선된 부호화 알고리즘을 통해서 메모리 사용량과 재생을 위한 지연시간을 최소로 하는 확장 가능한 3D-WT 기법인 FS(Fast playable and Scalable) 3D-WT를 소개한다. 3D-WT 중 가장 개선된 형태인 3D-V 기법과의 실험 결과 3D-V와 거의 비슷한 계산 처리 시간으로 높은 압축률과 수신 측에서의 짧은 지연시간을 보였다.

In this paper, the method to incorporate TCVQ(Trellis Copded Vector Quantizer) into the encoding of the wavelet trans formed(WT) image followed by a variable length coding(VLC) or an entropy coding(EC) is considered. By WT, an original image is separated into 10 bands with various resolutions and directional components. TCVQ used to compress these WT coefficients is a finite state machine that encodes the input source on the basis of the current input and the current state. Wavelet basis used in this paper is designed by orthogonal spline function. A modified set partitioning algorithm to Wang's is also presented. A simple modification to Wang's algorithm gives a highly time-efficient result. Proposed WT-TCVQ encoder shows a very competitive result, giving 37.46dB in PSNR at 1.002bpp when encoding 512$\times$512 LENA.

This paper presents a time-based Pitch Determination Algorithm (PDA) for reliable estimation of pitch Period (PP) in speech signal. In proposed method, we use the Dyadic Wavelet Transform (DyWT), which detects the presence of Glottal Closure Instants (GCI) and uses the information to determine the pitch period. And, the proposed method also uses the periodicity property of DyWT to detect unsteady GCI. To evaluate the performance of the proposed methods, that of other PDAs based on DyWT are compared with what this paper proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested with real speech signals containing a transition between voiced and the unvoiced interval where the energy of voiced signal is unsteady. The result shows that the proposed method provides a good performance in estimating the both the unsteady GCI positions as well as the steady parts.

Generators are the most complex and expensive single element in a power system. The generator protection relays should to minimize damage during fault states and must be designed for maximum reliability. A conventional CDR(Current Differential Relaying) technique based on DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) filter have the disadvantages that the time information can lead to loss in the process of converting the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. A WT(Wavelet transform) and WT analysis is known that it is possible with the local analysis of the fault and transient signal. In this paper, to overcome the defects in the DFT process, an application of WT for fault detection of generator is presented. This paper describes an selection of mother Wavelet to detect faults of generator. Using collected data from the fault simulation with ATPdraw, we analyzed the several mother Wavelet through the course of MLD(multi-level decomposition) using MATLAB software. Finally, it can be seen that the proposed technique using detail coefficient of Daubechies level 2 which can be fault discriminant of generator.

By utilizing singular value decomposition (SVD) and shift averaged Harr wavelet transform (WT) with a set of Daubechies wavelet coefficients (1/2, -1/2), a method that can simultaneously eliminate an unwanted large solvent peak and noise peaks from NMR data has been developed. Noise elimination was accomplished by shift-averaging the time domain NMR data after a large solvent peak was suppressed by SVD. The algorithms took advantage of the WT, giving excellent results for the noise elimination in the Gaussian type NMR spectral lines of NMR data pretreated with SVD, providing superb results in the adjustment of phase and magnitude of the spectrum. SVD and shift averaged Haar wavelet methods were quantitatively evaluated in terms of threshold values and signal to noise (S/N) ratio values.

This study focuses on the damage detection of defect types in plate structures based on wavelet transform (WT) and curvelet transform (CT). In particular, for damage detection of structures these transforms have been developed since the last few years. In recent years, the CT approach has been also introduced in an attempt to overcome inherent limitations of traditional multi-scale representations such as wavelets. In this study, the performance of CT is compared with WT in order to demonstrate the capability of WT and CT in detection of defect types in plate structures. To achieve this purpose, the damage detection of defect types through defect shape in rectangular plate is investigated. By using the first mode shape of plate structure and the distribution of the coefficients of the transforms, the damage existence, the defect location and the approximate shape of defect are detected. Moreover, the accuracy and performance generality of the transforms are verified through using experimental modal data of a plate.
