We have studied a denoising technique involving wavelet transform for improving the quality of geophysical data during the preprocessing stage. To assess the effectiveness of this technique, we have made synthetic data contaminated by random noises and compared the results of denoising with those obtained by conventional low-pass filtering. The low-pass filtering of the sinusoidal signal having a sharp discontinuity between the first and last sample values shows apparent errors related to Gibbs' phenomena. For the case of bump signal, the low-pass filtering induces maximum errors on peak values by removing some high-frequency components of signal itself. The wavelet transform technique, however, denoises these signals with much less adverse effects owing to its pertinent properties on locality of wavelet and easy discrimination of noise and signal in the wavelet domain. The field data of gravity tide are denoised by using soft threshold, which shrinked all the wavelet coefficients toward the origin, and the G-factor is determined by comparing the denoised data and theoretical data.

This paper deals with the comparison of signal processing techniques of ultrasonic data. The goal of signal processing is the ultrasonic speckle suppression and the visibility enhancement of flaw-reflected ultrasonic echo. The performance of conventional SSP(split spectrum processing) method and the wavelet denoising method are compared and discussed for tested ultrasonic data. Tested ultrasonic data obtained from the weld area of centrifugal-casted stainless steel material and safe-ending material with holes and notch of variable depths are presented. In experimental results, the outputs of wavelet-based denoising method show the clear and sharp peaks at the positions of flaw-reflected echos comparing with those of SSP method.

높은 SOC(state-of-charge) 추정알고리즘의 성능을 위해서는 측정된 배터리 단자전압의 정확도가 요구된다. 그렇지만, 예기치 않은 에러로 인해 단자전압에 노이즈 성분이 추가될 경우 SOC 추정성능의 저하를 피할 수 없다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 이산 웨이블릿 변환(DWT;discrete wavelet transform)의 다해상도 분석(MRA;multi resolution analysis)의 디노이징(denoising)기법을 적용한 이차전지의 SOC 추정방법을 소개한다. MRA의 시간-주파수 분석을 통해 분해(decomposition)된 저주파 성분(approximation;$A_n$)과 고주파 성분(detail;$D_n$)중 노이즈에 관계된 $D_n$의 고주파 상세 계수(detail coefficient) $d_{j,k}$를 새로이 조정하고 이를 합성(synthesis)하여 디노이징을 마무리 한다. 확장 칼만필터(EKF;extended Kalman filter)의 비교 분석을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper describes a new speckle noise reduction methode on the sonar image using TVG Filtering and PDF wavelet transform. The speckle noise makes the degrading image to discriminate the various object on the ocean bed. The TVG filter removes the speckle noise by gain with observing the results timely and inductively. The experimental result is that speckle noise is reduced to 90 %. Thus the proposed technique leads the mage recognition to be enhanced in the submarine environment.

The wavelet transform is a popular tool fer studying intermittent and localized phenomena in signals. In this study the wavelet transform of cutting force signals was conducted for the detection of a tool failure in turning process. We used the Daubechies wavelet analyzing function to detect a sudden change in cutting signal level. A preliminary stepped workpiece which had intentionally a hard condition was cut by the inserted cermet tool and a tool dynamometer obtained cutting force signals. From the results of the wavelet transform, the obtained signals were divided into approximation terms and detailed terms. At tool failure, the approximation signals were suddenly increased and the detailed signals were extremely oscillated just before tool failure.

In this study, the daily inflow at the basin of Chungju dam is predicted using wavelet-artificial neural network for nonlinear model. Time series generally consists of a linear combination of trend, periodicity and stochastic component. However, when framing time series model through these data, trend and periodicity component have to be removed. Wavelet transform which is denoising technique is applied to remove nonlinear dynamic noise such as trend and periodicity included in hydrometeorological data and simple noise that arises in the measurement process. The wavelet-artificial neural network (WANN) using data applied wavelet transform as input variable and the artificial neural network (ANN) using only raw data are compared. As a results, coefficient of determination and the slope through linear regression show that WANN is higher than ANN by 0.031 and 0.0115 respectively. And RMSE and RRMSE of WANN are smaller than those of ANN by 37.388 and 0.099 respectively. Therefore, WANN model applied in this study shows more accurate results than ANN and application of denoising technique through wavelet transforms is expected that more accurate predictions than the use of raw data with noise.

Purpose. Noise occurs at measuring Electoretinogram(ERG) signals as the other bio-signal measurement. It is compared the denoising performance according to the mother function of wavelet transforms. Methods. The ERG signal that generated power supply noise and white noise was used as a sampling signal. The noise of ERG signal was filtered by using haar, db7, bior mother function. The filtering performance of each mother functions was compared using Fourier transform spectrum and SNR(signal to noise ratio). Results. In the haar functioin, the result of the Fourier transform spectrum was that the power supply noise is removed and the white noise performance is not good. The SNR was 27.0404. In the db7 function, the results of Fourier transform spectrum was that the power supply noise is removed and the white noise performance is good. The SNR was 35.1729. In the db7 function, the results of Fourier transform spectrum was that the power supply noise is removed and the white noise performance is the bset. The SNR was 35.4445. Conclusions. The db7, bior function was good results in power supply noise and white noise filtered. The bior function is suitable for filtering noise of the ERG signal.

It is well known that wavelet transform is a signal processing technique which can display the signals on in both time and frequency domain. In this paper, we proposed a new approach based on stationary wavelet transform to provide an enhanced approach for eliminating noise. A 'stationary wavelet transform', where the coefficient sequences are not decimated at each stage, is described. The testing result on sample iris images has shown an enhanced image quality and also show that it has a superior performance than traditional discrete wavelet transform.

Techniques based on thresholding of wavelet coefficients are gaining popularity for denoising data because of the reasonable performance at the low complexity. The VisuShrink which removes the noise with the universal threshold is one of the techniques. The universal threshold is proportional to the noise deviation and the number of data samples. In general, because the noise deviation is not known, one needs to estimate the deviation for determining the value of the universal threshold. But, only for the finest scale wavelet coefficients, it has been known the way of estimating the noise deviation, so the noise in coarse scales cannot be removed with the VisuShrink. We propose here a new denoising method which removes the noise in each scale except the coarsest scale by Visushrink method. The noise deviation at each band is estimated by the monotonic transform and weighted deviation, the product of estimated noise deviation by the weight, is applied to the universal threshold. By making use of the universal threshold and the Soft-Threshold technique, the noise in each band is removed. The denoising characteristics of the proposed method is compared with that of the traditional VisuShrink and SureShrink method. The result showed that the proposed method is effective in denoising on Gaussian noise and quantization noise.
