The performance of wavelet transform-based features for the speech/music discrimination task has been investigated. In order to extract wavelet domain features, discrete and complex orthogonal wavelet transforms have been used. The performance of the proposed feature set has been compared with a feature set constructed from the most common time, frequency and cepstral domain features such as number of zero crossings, spectral centroid, spectral flux, and Mel cepstral coefficients. The artificial neural networks have been used as classification tool. The principal component analysis has been applied to eliminate the correlated features before the classification stage. For discrete wavelet transform, considering the number of vanishing moments and orthogonality, the best performance is obtained with Daubechies8 wavelet among the other members of the Daubechies family. The dual tree wavelet transform has also demonstrated a successful performance both in terms of accuracy and time consumption. Finally, a real-time discrimination system has been implemented using the Daubhecies8 wavelet which has the best accuracy.

Wavelets have been placed at the forefront of scientific researches involving signal processing, applied mathematics, pattern recognition and related fields. Nevertheless, as we have observed, students and young researchers still make mistakes when referring to one of the most relevant tools for time–frequency signal analysis. Thus, this correspondence clarifies the terminologies and specific roles of four types of wavelet transforms: the continuous wavelet transform (CWT), the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), the discrete-time wavelet transform (DTWT) and the stationary discrete-time wavelet transform (SDTWT). We believe that, after reading this correspondence, readers will be able to correctly refer to, and identify, the most appropriate type of wavelet transform for a certain application, selecting relevant and accurate material for subsequent investigation.

Methods of wavelet filtering of noise in signals of measuring transducers using the threshold method of discrete wavelet transform are considered. To study the methods of wavelet filtering of noise, special model signals were used to estimate the filtering errors. A method has been developed for determining the parameters of wavelet filtering of noise with a threshold for all levels of decomposition, which makes it possible to determine the wavelet function, threshold function and filtering threshold of the detailing coefficients of the discrete wavelet decomposition. The influence of the parameters of the noise distribution, the noise level, the number of vanishing moments of the Daubechies wavelet function, the nature of the threshold function and the threshold value on the filtering error caused by the noises of non-stationary measuring signals has been investigated by the method of a computational experiment. The results of the study of six threshold functions are given with the addition of noise to the measuring signal with nonstationary amplitude, frequency and duty cycle of rectangular pulses. The signal of the Doppler sensors is investigated, the wavelet filtering parameters are calculated, which provide the minimum error. The obtained parameters are used to construct graphs of signals before and after filtering directly in the time domain using the inverse wavelet transform.

The aim of this study is to propose a new evaluation method of gear dynamics using the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms. The wavelet transform (WT) is a method for the time-frequency analysis of signals. In order to evaluate the difference in the gear dynamics due to the gear materials, which are sintered and steel ones, the dynamic characteristics of gears were measured using a power circulating gear testing machine. The gear dynamics were analyzed in a time-frequency domain by the continuous and discrete WTs. The new evaluation method using the WTs proposed in this paper was more useful compared with the conventional one to investigate the damping characteristic and the dynamic condition of the gear equipment.

Energy Storage Systems (EES) are key to further increase the penetration in energy grids of intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind, by smoothing out power fluctuations. In order this to be economically feasible; however, the ESS need to be sized correctly and managed efficiently. In the study, the use of discrete wavelet transform (Daubechies Db4) to decompose the power output of utility-scale wind turbines into high and low-frequency components, with the objective of smoothing wind turbine power output, is discussed and applied to four-year Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) real data from multi-MW, on-shore wind turbines provided by the industrial partner. Two main research requests were tackled: first, the effectiveness of the discrete wavelet transform for the correct sizing and management of the battery (Li-Ion type) storage was assessed in comparison to more traditional approaches such as a simple moving average and a direct use of the battery in response to excessive power fluctuations. The performance of different storage designs was compared, in terms of abatement of ramp rate violations, depending on the power smoothing technique applied. Results show that the wavelet transform leads to a more efficient battery use, characterized by lower variation of the averaged state-of-charge, and in turn to the need for a lower battery capacity, which can be translated into a cost reduction (up to −28%). The second research objective was to prove that the wavelet-based power smoothing technique has superior performance for the real-time control of a wind park. To this end, a simple procedure is proposed to generate a suitable moving window centered on the actual sample in which the wavelet transform can be applied. The power-smoothing performance of the method was tested on the same time series data, showing again that the discrete wavelet transform represents a superior solution in comparison to conventional approaches.

AbstractImage fusion is the method of combining relevant information from two or more images into a single image resulting in an image that is more informative than the initial inputs. Methods for fusion include discrete wavelet transform, Laplacian pyramid based transform, curvelet based transform etc. These methods demonstrate the best performance in spatial and spectral quality of the fused image compared to other spatial methods of fusion. In particular, wavelet transform has good time-frequency characteristics. However, this characteristic cannot be extended easily to two or more dimensions with separable wavelet experiencing limited directivity when spanning a one-dimensional wavelet. This paper introduces the second generation curvelet transform and uses it to fuse images together. This method is compared against the others previously described to show that useful information can be extracted from source and fused images resulting in the production of fused images which offer clear, detailed information.

A micro-Doppler signature (m-DS) based on the rotation of drone blades is an effective way to detect and identify small drones. Deep-learning-based recognition algorithms can achieve higher recognition performance, but they needs a large amount of sample data to train models. In addition to the hovering state, the signal samples of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) should also include flight dynamics, such as vertical, pitch, forward and backward, roll, lateral, and yaw. However, it is difficult to collect all dynamic UAV signal samples under actual flight conditions, and these dynamic flight characteristics will lead to the deviation of the original features, thus affecting the performance of the recognizer. In this paper, we propose a small UAV m-DS recognition algorithm based on dynamic feature enhancement. We extract the combined principal component analysis and discrete wavelet transform (PCA-DWT) time–frequency characteristics and texture features of the UAV’s micro-Doppler signal and use a dynamic attribute-guided augmentation (DAGA) algorithm to expand the feature domain for model training to achieve an adaptive, accurate, and efficient multiclass recognition model in complex environments. After the training model is stable, the average recognition accuracy rate can reach 98% during dynamic flight.

Recent models of wind turbulence and turbulence-force relation as well still contain uncertainties. Further studies on them are needed to gain the better knowledge to refine the existing problems from analytical computations to wind tunnel's physical simulations in the wind engineering. The continuous and discrete wavelet transforms have been applied as powerful transformation tools to represent time series into the time-frequency localization. This paper will apply the orthogonal-based wavelet decomposition to investigate the intermittency of the turbulence and to detect the turbulence-force correlation in the both temporal-spectral information using proposed cross energy of wavelet decompositions. Analyzing data have been obtained by physical measurements on model from the wind tunnel tests.
