81-581: Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal . Noise reduction techniques exist for audio and images. Noise reduction algorithms may distort the signal to some degree. Noise rejection is the ability of a circuit to isolate an undesired signal component from the desired signal component, as with common-mode rejection ratio . All signal processing devices, both analog and digital , have traits that make them susceptible to noise. Noise can be random with an even frequency distribution ( white noise ), or frequency-dependent noise introduced by

The product of the uncertainties of time and frequency response scale has a lower bound. Thus, in the scaleogram of a continuous wavelet transform of this signal, such an event marks an entire region in

The scaling function filters the lowest level of the transform and ensures all the spectrum is covered. See for a detailed explanation. For a wavelet with compact support, φ( t ) can be considered finite in length and

891-541: A complex pattern of varying intensity. The word wavelet has been used for decades in digital signal processing and exploration geophysics. The equivalent French word ondelette meaning "small wave" was used by Jean Morlet and Alex Grossmann in the early 1980s. Wavelet theory is applicable to several subjects. All wavelet transforms may be considered forms of time-frequency representation for continuous-time (analog) signals and so are related to harmonic analysis .

972-418: A device's mechanism or signal processing algorithms . In electronic systems , a major type of noise is hiss created by random electron motion due to thermal agitation. These agitated electrons rapidly add and subtract from the output signal and thus create detectable noise . In the case of photographic film and magnetic tape , noise (both visible and audible) is introduced due to the grain structure of

Spectral subtraction is one of the simplest and most widely used noise reduction techniques, especially in speech processing. It works by estimating the power spectrum of the noise during silent periods and subtracting this noise spectrum from the noisy signal. This technique assumes that noise is additive and relatively stationary. While effective, spectral subtraction can introduce "musical noise,"

Thus, sets of complementary wavelets are useful in wavelet-based compression /decompression algorithms, where it is desirable to recover the original information with minimal loss. In formal terms, this representation is a wavelet series representation of a square-integrable function with respect to either

1620-562: A subtly different formulation (after Delprat). Restriction： The wavelet transform is often compared with the Fourier transform , in which signals are represented as a sum of sinusoids. In fact, the Fourier transform can be viewed as a special case of the continuous wavelet transform with the choice of the mother wavelet ψ ( t ) = e − 2 π i t {\displaystyle \psi (t)=e^{-2\pi it}} .

Noise (signal processing) Sometimes the word is also used to mean signals that are random ( unpredictable ) and carry no useful information ; even if they are not interfering with other signals or may have been introduced intentionally, as in comfort noise . Noise reduction ,

1863-487: Is a performance-limiting issue in analog tape recording . This is related to the particle size and texture used in the magnetic emulsion that is sprayed on the recording media, and also to the relative tape velocity across the tape heads . Four types of noise reduction exist: single-ended pre-recording, single-ended hiss reduction, single-ended surface noise reduction, and codec or dual-ended systems. Single-ended pre-recording systems (such as Dolby HX Pro ), work to affect

Daubechies and Symlet wavelets can be defined by the scaling filter. Wavelets are defined by the wavelet function ψ( t ) (i.e. the mother wavelet) and scaling function φ( t ) (also called father wavelet) in the time domain. The wavelet function is in effect

2187-530: Is concentrated about it. Yet another approach is the automatic noise limiter and noise blanker commonly found on HAM radio transceivers, CB radio transceivers, etc. Both of the aforementioned filters can be used separately, or in conjunction with each other at the same time, depending on the transceiver itself. Most digital audio workstations (DAWs) and audio editing software have one or more noise reduction functions. Images taken with digital cameras or conventional film cameras will pick up noise from

2268-546: Is especially crucial for seismic imaging , inversion, and interpretation, thereby greatly improving the success rate in oil & gas exploration. The useful signal that is smeared in the ambient random noise is often neglected and thus may cause fake discontinuity of seismic events and artifacts in the final migrated image. Enhancing the useful signal while preserving edge properties of the seismic profiles by attenuating random noise can help reduce interpretation difficulties and misleading risks for oil and gas detection. Tape hiss

2349-537: Is essential that the wavelet filters do not access signal values from the future as well as that minimal temporal latencies can be obtained. Time-causal wavelets representations have been developed by Szu et al and Lindeberg, with the latter method also involving a memory-efficient time-recursive implementation. For practical applications, and for efficiency reasons, one prefers continuously differentiable functions with compact support as mother (prototype) wavelet (functions). However, to satisfy analytical requirements (in

2430-590: Is frequently confused with the far more common Dolby noise-reduction system . Unlike Dolby and dbx Type I and Type II noise reduction systems, DNL and DNR are playback-only signal processing systems that do not require the source material to first be encoded. They can be used to remove background noise from any audio signal, including magnetic tape recordings and FM radio broadcasts, reducing noise by as much as 10 dB. They can also be used in conjunction with other noise reduction systems, provided that they are used prior to applying DNR to prevent DNR from causing

2592-419: Is most pronounced when a wave from a coherent source (such as a laser) encounters a slit/aperture that is comparable in size to its wavelength . This is due to the addition, or interference , of different points on the wavefront (or, equivalently, each wavelet) that travel by paths of different lengths to the registering surface. Multiple, closely spaced openings (e.g., a diffraction grating ), can result in

In any discretised wavelet transform, there are only a finite number of wavelet coefficients for each bounded rectangular region in the upper halfplane. Still, each coefficient requires

3078-399: Is that wavelets are localized in both time and frequency whereas the standard Fourier transform is only localized in frequency . The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is similar to the wavelet transform, in that it is also time and frequency localized, but there are issues with the frequency/time resolution trade-off. In particular, assuming a rectangular window region, one may think of

3159-416: Is the condition for square norm one. For ψ to be a wavelet for the continuous wavelet transform (see there for exact statement), the mother wavelet must satisfy an admissibility criterion (loosely speaking, a kind of half-differentiability) in order to get a stably invertible transform. For the discrete wavelet transform , one needs at least the condition that the wavelet series is a representation of

3240-423: Is to define a dynamic threshold for filtering noise, that is derived from the local signal, again with respect to a local time-frequency region. Everything below the threshold will be filtered, everything above the threshold, like partials of a voice or wanted noise , will be untouched. The region is typically defined by the location of the signal's instantaneous frequency, as most of the signal energy to be preserved

3321-653: Is unpredictable or non-stationary. In adaptive filtering, the filter's parameters are continuously adjusted to minimize the difference between the desired signal and the actual output. The Least Mean Squares (LMS) and Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithms are commonly used for adaptive noise cancellation.

Dual-ended systems (such as Dolby noise-reduction system or dbx ) have a pre-emphasis process applied during recording and then a de-emphasis process applied during playback. Modern digital sound recordings no longer need to worry about tape hiss so analog-style noise reduction systems are not necessary. However, an interesting twist

3888-448: The STFT. All STFT basis elements maintain a uniform spectral and temporal support for all temporal shifts or offsets, thereby attaining an equal resolution in time for lower and higher frequencies. The resolution is purely determined by the sampling width. In contrast, the wavelet transform's multiresolutional properties enables large temporal supports for lower frequencies while maintaining short temporal widths for higher frequencies by

3969-407: The amplitude of frequencies in four bands was increased during recording (encoding), then decreased proportionately during playback (decoding). In particular, when recording quiet parts of an audio signal, the frequencies above 1 kHz would be boosted. This had the effect of increasing the signal-to-noise ratio on tape up to 10 dB depending on the initial signal volume. When it was played back,

These functions are often incorrectly referred to as the basis functions of the (continuous) transform. In fact, as in the continuous Fourier transform, there is no basis in the continuous wavelet transform. Time-frequency interpretation uses

The Dolby B system (developed in conjunction with Henry Kloss ) was a single-band system designed for consumer products. The Dolby B system, while not as effective as Dolby A, had the advantage of remaining listenable on playback systems without a decoder. The Telefunken High Com integrated circuit U401BR could be utilized to work as

Some random examples are: Wavelet A wavelet is a wave -like oscillation with an amplitude that begins at zero, increases or decreases, and then returns to zero one or more times. Wavelets are termed a "brief oscillation". A taxonomy of wavelets has been established, based on

4617-559: The equally spaced frequency divisions of the FFT which uses the same basis functions as the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). This complexity only applies when the filter size has no relation to the signal size. A wavelet without compact support such as the Shannon wavelet would require O( N ).

5022-634: The identity in the space L ( R ). Most constructions of discrete WT make use of the multiresolution analysis , which defines the wavelet by a scaling function. This scaling function itself is a solution to a functional equation. In most situations it is useful to restrict ψ to be a continuous function with a higher number M of vanishing moments, i.e. for all integer m < M ∫ − ∞ ∞ t m ψ ( t ) d t = 0. {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }t^{m}\,\psi (t)\,dt=0.} The mother wavelet

5184-468: The medium. In photographic film, the size of the grains in the film determines the film's sensitivity, more sensitive film having larger-sized grains. In magnetic tape, the larger the grains of the magnetic particles (usually ferric oxide or magnetite ), the more prone the medium is to noise. To compensate for this, larger areas of film or magnetic tape may be used to lower the noise to an acceptable level. Noise reduction algorithms tend to alter signals to

Correlation is at the core of many practical wavelet applications. As a mathematical tool, wavelets can be used to extract information from many kinds of data, including audio signals and images. Sets of wavelets are needed to analyze data fully. "Complementary" wavelets decompose

Single-ended hiss reduction systems (such as DNL or DNR ) work to reduce noise as it occurs, including both before and after the recording process as well as for live broadcast applications. Single-ended surface noise reduction (such as CEDAR and the earlier SAE 5000A, Burwen TNE 7000, and Packburn 101/323/323A/323AA and 325) is applied to the playback of phonograph records to address scratches, pops, and surface non-linearities. Single-ended dynamic range expanders like

The mathematical limits for noise removal are set by information theory . Signal processing noise can be classified by its statistical properties (sometimes called the " color " of the noise) and by how it modifies the intended signal: Noise may arise in signals of interest to various scientific and technical fields, often with specific features: A long list of noise measures have been defined to measure noise in signal processing: in absolute terms, relative to some standard noise level, or relative to

The discrete wavelet transform is less computationally complex , taking O( N ) time as compared to O( N  log  N ) for the fast Fourier transform (FFT). This computational advantage is not inherent to the transform, but reflects the choice of a logarithmic division of frequency, in contrast to

5832-561: The sense that ∫ − ∞ ∞ | ψ ( t ) | d t < ∞ {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }|\psi (t)|\,dt<\infty } and ∫ − ∞ ∞ | ψ ( t ) | 2 d t < ∞ . {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }|\psi (t)|^{2}\,dt<\infty .} Being in this space ensures that one can formulate

5913-438: The signal and noise statistics, which may not always be feasible in real-world applications. Kalman filtering is a recursive algorithm that estimates the state of a dynamic system from a series of noisy measurements. While typically used for tracking and prediction, it is also applicable to noise reduction, especially for signals that can be modeled as time-varying. Kalman filtering is particularly effective in applications where

5994-666: The signal into different frequency components using a wavelet transform and then removes the noise by thresholding the wavelet coefficients. This method is effective for signals with sharp transients, like biomedical signals, because wavelet transforms can provide both time and frequency information. Applications: Commonly used in image processing, ECG and EEG signal denoising, and audio processing. Advantages: Preserves sharp signal features and offers flexibility in handling non-stationary noise. Limitations: The choice of wavelet basis and thresholding parameters significantly impacts performance, requiring careful tuning. Non-local means (NLM)

6075-427: The signal is dynamic and the noise characteristics vary over time. Applications: Used in speech enhancement, radar, and control systems. Advantages: Provides excellent performance for time-varying signals with non-stationary noise. Limitations: Requires a mathematical model of the system dynamics, which may be complex to design for certain applications. Wavelet -based denoising (or wavelet thresholding) decomposes

6156-420: The square of the temporal support of the window offset by time u is given by σ u 2 = 1 E ∫ | t − u | 2 | ψ ( t ) | 2 d t {\displaystyle \sigma _{u}^{2}={\frac {1}{E}}\int |t-u|^{2}|\psi (t)|^{2}\,dt} and the square of the spectral support of

6237-434: The tape at saturation level, audio-style noise reduction is unnecessary. Dynamic noise limiter ( DNL ) is an audio noise reduction system originally introduced by Philips in 1971 for use on cassette decks . Its circuitry is also based on a single chip . It was further developed into dynamic noise reduction ( DNR ) by National Semiconductor to reduce noise levels on long-distance telephony . First sold in 1981, DNR

6318-627: The time domain properties, while the mother wavelets W i {\displaystyle W_{i}} keeps the frequency domain properties. From these it is required that the sequence { 0 } ⊂ ⋯ ⊂ V 1 ⊂ V 0 ⊂ V − 1 ⊂ V − 2 ⊂ ⋯ ⊂ L 2 ( R ) {\displaystyle \{0\}\subset \dots \subset V_{1}\subset V_{0}\subset V_{-1}\subset V_{-2}\subset \dots \subset L^{2}(\mathbb {R} )} forms

6399-413: The time-frequency domain using some linear or nonlinear filters that have local characteristics and are often called time-frequency filters . Noise can therefore be also removed by use of spectral editing tools, which work in this time-frequency domain, allowing local modifications without affecting nearby signal energy. This can be done manually much like in a paint program drawing pictures. Another way

6480-418: The time-scale plane, instead of just one point. Also, discrete wavelet bases may be considered in the context of other forms of the uncertainty principle. Wavelet transforms are broadly divided into three classes: continuous, discrete and multiresolution-based. In continuous wavelet transforms , a given signal of finite energy is projected on a continuous family of frequency bands (or similar subspaces of

6561-567: The window acting on a frequency ξ {\displaystyle \xi } σ ^ ξ 2 = 1 2 π E ∫ | ω − ξ | 2 | ψ ^ ( ω ) | 2 d ω {\displaystyle {\hat {\sigma }}_{\xi }^{2}={\frac {1}{2\pi E}}\int |\omega -\xi |^{2}|{\hat {\psi }}(\omega )|^{2}\,d\omega } Multiplication with
