In the present work, processing of an electro cardio signal using a wavelet transform is consi-dered. In electrocardiography, various digital signal-processing techniques are used to detect, extract, and analyze the various components of an electrocardiogram. Among them, the wavelet transform technique gives promising results in the analysis of the time-frequency characteristics of the electrocardiogram components. The urgency of solving the problem of improving the quality of life of people with the help of early diagnosis and timely treatment of various cardiac diseases is obvious. The process of automated analysis of a huge database of electrocardiographic data is especially important. Wavelet analysis can be successfully used to smooth and remove noise in the ECG signal. Electrocardiogram signal, cleaned from noise components, looks clearer, while its volume is from 10 to 5% of the original signal, which largely solves the problem of storing cardiac records. Aim. Development of an algorithm for threshold processing of wavelet coefficients and filtering of an electrocardiography signal. Materials and methods. Cardiograms were taken for analysis. Then they were digitized and entered into a computer for processing. A program was written in the MATLAB environment that implements continuous and discrete wavelet transform. Results. The work shows the result of filtering the ECG signal with the addition of noise with a signal-to-noise ratio of 35 and 45 dB using the decomposition levels N = 2, N = 3, N = 4. Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, it can be concluded that the second level of decomposition is the most optimal for filtering the ECG signal. With an increase in the level of decomposition, the output ratio decreases, at the level N = 4 the output signal-to-noise almost does not exceed the input one, therefore, the filtering becomes ineffective. The correlation coefficient to the fourth level is significantly reduced, which means a significant increase in the distortion introduced by the filtering algorithm.

This paper aims in presenting a thorough comparison of performance and usefulness of multi-resolution based de-noising technique. Multi-resolution based image denoising techniques overcome the limitation of Fourier, spatial, as well as, purely frequency based techniques, as it provides the information of 2-Dimensional (2-D) signal at different levels and scales, which is desirable for image de-noising. The multiresolution based de-noising techniques, namely, Contourlet Transform (CT), Non Sub-sampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), have been selected for the de-noising of camera images. Further, the performance of different denosing techniques have been compared in terms of different noise variances, thresholding techniques and by using well defined metrics, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Analysis of result shows that shift-invariant NSCT technique outperforms the CT, SWT and DWT based de-noising techniques in terms of qualititaive and quantitative objective evaluation


The research constitutes a distinctive technique of steganography of image. The procedure used for the study is Fractional Random Wavelet Transform (FRWT). The contrast between wavelet transform and the aforementioned FRWT is that it comprises of all the benefits and features of the wavelet transform but with additional highlights like randomness and partial fractional value put up into it. As a consequence of the fractional value and the randomness, the algorithm will give power and a rise in the surveillance layers for steganography. The stegano image will be acquired after administrating the algorithm which contains not only the coated image but also the concealed image. Despite the overlapping of two images, any diminution in the grade of the image is not perceived. Through this steganographic process, we endeavor for expansion in surveillance and magnitude as well. After running the algorithm, various variables like Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) are deliberated. Through the intended algorithm, a rise in the power and imperceptibility is perceived and it can also support diverse modification such as scaling, translation and rotation with algorithms which previously prevailed. The irrefutable outcome demonstrated that the algorithm which is being suggested is indeed efficacious.

Partial discharge (PD) measurement is an essential to detect and diagnose the existence of the PD. However, this measurement has faced noise disturbance in industrial environments. Thus, PD analysis system using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) denoising technique via Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software is proposed to distinguish noise from the measured PD signal. In this work, the performance of denoising process is analyzed based on calculated mean square error (MSE) and signal to noise ratio (SNR). The result is manipulated based on Haar, Daubechies, Coiflets, Symlets and Biorthogonal type of mother wavelet with different decomposition levels. From the SNR results, all types of the mother wavelet are suitable to be used in denoising technique since the value of SNR is in large positive value. Therefore, further studies were conducted and found out that db14, coif3, sym5 and bior5.5 wavelets with least MSE value are considered good to be used in the denoising technique. However, bior5.5 wavelet is proposed as the most optimum mother wavelet due to consistency of producing minimum value of MSE and followed by db14.

Data communication through metallic structures is generally encountered in manufacturing equipment and process monitoring and control. This paper presents a signal processing technique for enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio and high-bit data transmission rate in ultrasound-based wireless data transmission through metallic structures. A multi-carrier coded-ultrasonic wave modulation scheme is firstly investigated to achieve high-bit data rate communication while reducing inter-symbol inference and data loss, due to the inherent signal attenuation, wave diffraction and reflection in metallic structures. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio, dual-tree wavelet packet transform (DT-WPT) has been investigated to separate multi-carrier signals under noise contamination, given its properties of shift-invariance and flexible time frequency partitioning. A new envelope extraction and threshold setting strategy for selected wavelet coefficients is then introduced to retrieve the coded digital information. Experimental studies are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed signal processing method for manufacturing.

Compressed sensing (CS) has been applied to accelerate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for many years. Due to the lack of translation invariance of the wavelet basis, undersampled MRI reconstruction based on discrete wavelet transform may result in serious artifacts. In this paper, we propose a CS-based reconstruction scheme, which combines complex double-density dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (CDDDT-DWT) with fast iterative shrinkage/soft thresholding algorithm (FISTA) to efficiently reduce such visual artifacts. The CDDDT-DWT has the characteristics of shift invariance, high degree, and a good directional selectivity. In addition, FISTA has an excellent convergence rate, and the design of FISTA is simple. Compared with conventional CS-based reconstruction methods, the experimental results demonstrate that this novel approach achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), larger signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), better structural similarity index (SSIM), and lower relative error.

ECG signal is a physiological signal mainly used for the diagnosis of abnormalities in the functioning of the heart. There are limitations in detecting the nonlinearities due to the presence of noises in the ECG signal. In our work, the de-noised signal coefficients obtained from different de-noising methods are optimized for reducing the error and redundancy, and are then classified as normal or abnormal signals. The ECG signal is obtained from the PhysioBank dataset and the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The two methods used are the Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The optimization is done using Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm and the classification is performed by Feed Forward Neural Network using back propagation (FFBP). The performances are evaluated in terms of standard metrics namely, Mean Square Error (MSE) and Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR). The results suggest that although SWT performs better than other de-noising techniques, the two methods correctly classify the given ECG signal of a monitored patient as a normal or abnormal signal.

This paper aims to use a new approach for fusion images by using a wavelet coefficient based on PSNR and SNR measure (the technical result) instead of using the max, min, average values, and so on in the previous methods. The wavelet coefficient of each sub band is compared between them, the sub band had a value higher of measure is selected for fusion. Firstly, a discrete wavelet transform has been applied to the medical images with 2level. Then, the peak signal to noise ratio and signal to noise ratio measures have been computed for each sub-band. After that PSNR and SNR values have been compared for each sub-band to opposite sub-band and it selected the better value of measures. Secondly, PSNR and SNR values have been gathered for each image. Then select the image that contains value higher PSNR and lower value of SNR for purpose fusion. Finally, perform an inverse discrete wavelet on the fused image to transform it from the frequency to the spatial domain. The results of the work showed that the wavelet coefficient is used to preserve the image details and removed the noise. PSNR value of 1level of dwt is higher than 2level. This paper makes the image more clearer and informative than the original images. </span></span>

Wavelet transform has emerged as a powerful tool for time-frequency analysis and signal coding favored for the interrogation of complex non-stationary signals such as the ECG signal. Measurement of timing intervals of ECG signal by automated system is highly superior to its subjective analysis. The timing interval is found from the onset and offset of the wave components of the ECG signal. Since the Daubechies wavelet is similar to the shape of the ECG signal, better detection is achieved. Discrete Wavelet Transform is easier to implement, provides multiresolution and also reduces the computational time, and thus, is used. In the pre-processing step, the base line wandering is removed from the ECG signal. Then the R peak and the QRS complexes are detected. Twenty five records from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database are used to evaluate the proposed method. Sensitivity and positive prediction are used as performance measures. This method is very simple and detects all the R peaks (sensitivity = 100% and positive prediction = 99.86%). That is, false positive detection is very negligible and false negative detection is zero. The performance of the proposed method is better than other methods that exist in the literature.
