We present an adaptive wavelet packet based speech enhancement method with robust voice activity detection (VAD) in non-stationary noise environment. The proposed method can be divided into two main procedures. The first procedure is a VAD with adaptive wavelet packet transform. And the other is a speech enhancement procedure based on the proposed VAD method. The proposed VAD method shows remarkable performance even in low SNRs and non-stationary noise environment. And subjective evaluation shows that the performance of the proposed speech enhancement method with wavelet bases is better than that with Fourier basis.

In this paper, a predictive control method using wavelet neural network for chaotic nonlinear systems is presented. In our method, we use the adjusting method of the parameter for the training a wavelet neural network. The control signals are directly obtained by minimizing the difference between a reference signal and the output of a wavelet neural network. To verify the efficiency of our method, we apply it to the Duffing and the Henon system, which are a representative continuous and discrete time chaotic nonlinear system respectively.

In this paper, we propose a new method about wavelet-based fuzzy modeling using a DNA coding method. DNA coding techniques is known that expression of knowledge is various than Genetic Algorithm(GA) usually by made optimization technique because done base in structure of biologic DNA and optimization performance is superior. The reposed method make fuzzy system model in wavelet transform and equivalence relation after identification with coefficient of wavelet transform using a DNA coding techniques. Also, can get fuzzy model effectively of nonlinear system using advantage of strong wavelet transform about function that have sudden change. In this paper, in order to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method compared with GA.

This paper proposes an identification method using a self recurrent wavelet neural network (SRWNN) for dynamic systems. The architecture of the proposed SRWNN is a modified model of the wavelet neural network (WNN). But, unlike the WNN, since a mother wavelet layer of the SRWNN is composed of self-feedback neurons, the SRWNN has the ability to store the past information of the wavelet. Thus, in the proposed identification architecture, the SRWNN is used for identifying nonlinear dynamic systems. The gradient descent method with adaptive teaming rates (ALRs) is applied to 1.am the parameters of the SRWNN identifier (SRWNNI). The ALRs are derived from the discrete Lyapunov stability theorem, which are used to guarantee the convergence of an SRWNNI. Finally, through computer simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SRWNNI.

Voltage and current signals during impulse tests on transformer are treated as non-stationary signals. A new method incorporating signal-processing method such as Wavelets and courier transform is proposed for failure identification. It is now possible to distinguish failure during impulse tests. The method is experimentally validated on a transformer winding. The wavelet transforms enables the detection of the time of occurrence of switching or failure events. After establishing the time of occurrence, the original waveform is split into two or more sections. The wavelet transform has ability to analysis the failure signal on time domain as well as frequency domain. Therefore, the wavelet transform is superior than courier transform to analysis the failure signal. In this paper, the fact was proved by real data which was achieved.

This paper deals with face detection and recognition using ellipsodal information and wavelet packet analysis. We proposed two methods. First, Face detection method uses general ellipsodal information of human face contour and we find eye position on wavelet transformed face images A novel method for recognition of views of human faces under roughly constant illumination is presented. Second, The proposed Face recognition scheme is based on the analysis of a wavelet packet decomposition of the face images. Each face image is first located and then, described by a subset of band filtered images containing wavelet coefficients. From these wavelet coefficients, which characterize the face texture, the Euclidian distance can be used in order to classify the face feature vectors into person classes. Experimental results are presented using images from the FERET and the MIT FACES databases. The efficiency of the proposed approach is analyzed according to the FERET evaluation procedure and by comparing our results with those obtained using the well-known Eigenfaces method. The proposed system achieved an rate of 97％(MIT data), 95.8％(FERET databace)

This paper Proposes a wavelet-based video compression method to improve compressed images using modification of wavelet coefficients. In conventional wavelet-based compression methods, bigger coefficients are transmitted early according to the significance of the coefficients. In this reason, when some coefficients which have more significance but are not bigger are not transmitted, image degradation occurs. The Proposed method considered two human visual characteristics. First, human eyes are more sensitive to the change of middle frequency which represents abrupt change of brightness than that of high frequency which expresses fine region. Second, human eyes are more dull to color component than luminance respectively. By adjusting the coefficients of wavelet transformed signals and allocating more bits for compression to the luminance signal, higher compression could be achieved.

This paper shows the use of wavelet transformation combined with inverse acoustics to reconstruct the surface velocity of a noise source. This approach uses the boundary element analysis based on the measured sound pressure at a set of field points, the Helmholtz integral equations and wavelet transformation for reconstructing the normal surface velocity field. The reconstructed field can be diverged due to the small measurement errors in the case of nearfield acoustic holography (NAH) using an inverse boundary element method. In order to avoid this instability in the inverse problem, the reconstruction process should include some form of regularization for enhancing the resolution of source images. The usual method of regularization has been the truncation of wave vectors associated with small singular values, although the order of an optimal truncation is difficult to determine. In this paper, a wavelet transformation is applied to reduce the computation time for inverse acoustics and to enhance the reconstructed vibration field. The computational speed-up is achieved, with solution time being reduced to $14.5\%$.

This paper propose a new vector-quantizer design method for coefficients of wavelet transformed images. In conventional wavelet transform, it is quite often to employ wavelet transformed coefficients, not containing images to be encoded, as training sequences for designing a vector-quantizer. This method has a serious drawback ; it is not known how to find a proper set of training images. This paper investigates characteristics of images that should be considered in the design of vector-quantizers for wavelet transformed images. Besides the statistical parameters such as correlation and standard deviation, edge components are shown to characterise wavelet transform images. Training sequences established in accordance with the above knowledge are used in the design of quantizers having guaranteed range of applicable images. Results of computer simulations are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this raper, we present a Wavelet Neural Network(WNN) approach to the solution of the tracking problem for mobile robots that possess complexity, nonlinearity and uncertainty. The neural network is constructed by the wavelet orthogonal decomposition to form a wavelet neural network that can overcome the problems caused by local minima of optimization and various uncertainties. This network structure is helpful to determine the number of the hidden nodes and the initial value of weights with compact structure. In our control method, the control signals are directly obtained by minimizing the difference between the reference track and the pose of a mobile robot that is controlled through a wavelet neural network. The control process is a dynamic on-line process that uses the wavelet neural network trained by the gradient-descent method. Through computer simulations, we demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control method.
