In this paper, we propose a new method for selecting the threshold on wavelet packet denoising. In selecting threshold, the method using median is not efficient. Because this method can not recover unvoiced signal corrupted by noise. So we partition a speech signal corrupted by noise into the pure noise section and voiced section using autocorrelation and entropy. The autocorrelation and entropy can reflect disorder of noise. The new method yields more improved denoising effect. Especially unvoiced signal is very nicely reconstructed, and SNR is improved.

This paper presents a new threshold-based denoising method by using undecimated discrete wavelet transform (UDWT). It proved excellency of the UDWT compared with orthogonal wavelet transform (OWT), spatia1ly selective noise filtration (SSNF) and NSSNF added new parameter. Methods using the spatial correlation are effectual at edge detection and image enhancement, whereas algorithm is complex and needs more computation However, UDWT is effective at denoising and needs less computation and simple algorithm.

Image denoising is basic work for image processing, analysis and computer vision. This paper proposes a novel algorithm based on wavelet threshold for image denoising, which is combined with the linear CLS (Constrained Least Squares) filtering and thresholding methods in the transform domain. We demonstrated through simulations with images contaminated by white Gaussian noise that our scheme exhibits better performance in both PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) and visual effect.

Image denoising is a lively research field. Today the researches are focus on the wavelet domain especially using wavelet threshold method. We proposed an adaptive threshold method which considering the characteristic of different sub-band, the method is adaptive to each sub-band. Experiment results show that the proposed method extracts white Gaussian noise from original signals in each step scale and eliminates the noise effectively. In addition, the method also preserves the detail information of the original image, obtaining superior quality image with higher peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR).

Wavelet coefficients are known to have decorrelating properties, since wavelet is orthonormal transformation. but empirically, those wavelet coefficients of images, like edges, are not statistically independent. Jansen and Bultheel(1999) developed the empirical Bayes approach to improve the classical threshold algorithm using local characterization in Markov random field. They consider the clustering of significant wavelet coefficients with uniform distribution. In this paper, we developed wavelet thresholding algorithm using Laplacian distribution which is more realistic model.

The paper shows that the combination of the hardware, NI PCI 6110E board and the software, Fourier and continuous wavelet transform(CWT) can be used to implement for extracting the important features of the real-time signal. The results confirmed that CWT produces the fast computation enough for the application of the real-time signal processing except the negligible time delay. In denoising case, because of the lack of translation invariance of wavelet basis, traditional wavelet thresholding leads to pseudo-Gibbs phenomena in the vicinity of discontinuities of signal. In this paper, in order to reduce the pseudo-Gibbs phenomena, wavelet coefficients are threshold and reconstruction algorithm is implement through shift-invariant gibbs free denoising algorithm based on wavelet transform footprint. The proposed algorithm can potentially be extended to more general signals like piecewise smooth signals and represents an effective solution to problems like signal denoising.

The denoising for image restoration with wavelet packet and noise variance is presented. The image denoising has the threshold value used absolute average value of noise variance and the translated wavelet packet. The results on the experiment improved over 10% and 5% than the denoising based on wavelet transform and wavelet packet respectively.

Thedenoising of a natural image corrupted by Gaussian noise is a long established problem in signal or image processing. Today the research is focus on the wavelet domain, especially using the wavelet threshold method. In this paper, a waveletbased image denoising modified adaptive thresholding method is proposed. The proposed method computes thethreshold adaptively based on the scale level and adaptively estimates wavelet coefficients by using a modified thresholding function that considers the dependency between the parent coefficient and child coefficient and the soft thresholding function at different scales. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides high peak signal-to-noise ratio results and preserves the detailed information of the original image well, resulting in a superior quality image.

A society has progressed rapidly toward the highly advanced digital information age. However, noise is generated by several causes, when signal is processed. Therefore, methods for eliminating those noises have researched. There were the existing FFT(fast fourier transform) and STFT(short time fourier transform) for removing noise but it's impossible to know information about time and time-frequency localization capabilities have conflictive relationship. Therefore, for overcoming these limits, wavelet-based denoising methods that are capable of multiresolution analysis are applied to the signal processing field. However, existing threshold- and correlation-based denoising methods consider only statistical characteristics for noise, accordingly a lot of noise is acceptable as an edge and are impossible to remove AWGN and impulse noise, at the same time. Hence, in this paper we proposed wavelet-based new denoising algorithm and compared existing methods with it.

Generally, wavelet coefficients can be classified into two categories: large coefficients with much signal information and small coefficients with little signal component. This statistical characteristic of wavelet coefficient is approximated to Gaussian mixture model and efficiently applied to noise reduction. In this paper, we propose an image denoising method using mixture modeling of wavelet coefficients. Binary mask value is generated by proper threshold which classifies wavelet coefficients into two categories. Information of binary mask value is used to remove image noise. We also develope an enhancement method of mask value using morphological filter, and apply it to image denoising for improvement of the proposed method. Simulation results shows the proposed method have better PSNRs than those of the state of art denoising methods.
