First, the image is decomposed into multiscale subbands by wavelet transform. Then, from the top scale to the bottom scale, we apply BF to the approximation subbands and WT to the detail subbands. The filtered subbands are reconstructed back to ap- proximation subbands of the lower scale. Finally, subbands are reconstructed in all the scales, and in this way the denoised image is formed. Different from conventional methods such as WT and BF, it can smooth the low-frequency noise efficiently. Experiment results on the image Lena and Rice show that the peak sig- nal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is improved by at least 3 dB and 0.7 dB compared with using the WT and BF, respectively. In addition, the computational time of the proposed method is almost comparable with that of WT but much less than that of BF.展开更多

However, many examples, analyses and simulations indicate that chaotic oscillator detection system cannot guarantee the immunity to noises (even white noise). In fact the randomness of noises has a serious or even a destructive effect on the detection results in many cases. To solve this problem, we present a new detecting method based on wavelet threshold processing that can detect the chaotic weak signal accompanied with noise. All theoretical analyses and simulation experiments indicate that the new method reduces the noise interferences to detection significantly, thereby making the corresponding chaotic oscillator that detects the weak signals accompanied with noises more stable and reliable.展开更多

Firstly, this paper introduces an improved natural gradient algorithm based on bias removal technology to estimate the demixing matrix under noisy environment. Then the discrete wavelet transform technology is applied to the separated signals to further remove noise. In order to improve the separation effect, this paper analyzes the deficiency of hard threshold and soft threshold, and proposes a new wavelet threshold function based on the wavelet decomposition and reconfiguration. The simulations have verified that this method improves the signal noise ratio (SNR) of the separation results and the separation precision.展开更多

This paper proposed an improved threshold function based on the multi-resolution analysis wavelet threshold de-noising method which was put forward by Donoho and Johnstone, and applied this method in the de-noising of the defective signals. This threshold function overcomes the discontinuous shortcoming of the hard-threshold function and the disadvantage of soft threshold function which causes an invariable deviation between the estimated wavelet coeffwients and the decomposed wavelet coefficients. The improved threshold function is of simple expression and convenient for calculation. The actual test results of defect noise signal show that this improved method can get less mean square error ( MSE ) and higher signal-to-noise ratio of reconstructed signals than those calculated from hard threshold and soft threshold methods. The improved threshold function has excellent de-noising effect.展开更多
