COMPARING NOISE REMOVAL IN THE WAVELET AND FOURIER DOMAINSDr. Robert BarsantiSSST March 2011, Auburn University
Overview • Introduction • Transform Domain filtering • Basis Selection • Simulations and Results • Summary
Introduction • It is widely known that the DFT has it shortcomings. • We look at using the DWT on these signals. • We also use entropy to explain why one basis may be best. • Simulations of the performance of the proposed algorithm arepresented.
Signal TRANSFORMATION Noisy Signal Noise Noise Removal • Separate the signal from the noise
Fourier Analysis The DFT Wavelet Analysis The DWT FOURIER vs. WAVELETS
Threshold De-noising Use Thres = Threshold Method -hard -soft
Wavelet Based Filtering THREE STEP DENOISING 1. PERFORM DWT 2. THRESHOLD COEFFICIENTS 3. PERFORM INVERSE DWT
Basis Selection Best Basis will concentrate signal energy into the fewest coefficients. Use Signal Entropy H(x) defined in [9] Where pi is normalized energy of ith component
Entropy The entropy H(x) is bounded such that; H(x) = 0 only if all the signal energy is concentrated in one coefficient. H(x) = log(N), only if pi = 1/N for all i. The decomposition with the smaller entropy corresponds to the better basis for threshold filtering.
Simulation • 3 simulated signal waveforms using 2^10 points. • Many trials using different instances of AWGN were conducted at signal to noise ratios ranging from -5 dB to 10 dB. • A sufficient number of trials were conducted to produce a representative MSE curve. Simulations for the all the filters used the same noise scale.
Wavelets vs. Fourier Filtering signal 1 at 10 dB using the DFT MSE vs. SNR for signal 1.
Wavelets vs. Fourier Filtering signal 3 at 10 dB using the DFT MSE vs. SNR for signal 3.
Wavelets vs. Fourier Filtering signal 3 at 10 dB using the DFT MSE vs. SNR for signal 3.
Summary • Discussed noise removal on signals using DFT and DWT. • Use of signal entropy as a measure of the best basis. • Simulations compared performance on simple signals.
