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

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

Voltage break point and magnitude are extracted by detecting arc voltage singularity through the modulus maximum wavelet （MMW） method. A novel threshold algorithm, which compromises the hard-threshold wavelet （HTW） and soft-threshold wavelet （STW） methods, is investigated to eliminate welding current noise. Finally, advantages over traditional wavelet methods are verified by both simulation and experimental results.展开更多
