A signal processing technique is described for measuring the jitter, shimmer, and signal-to-noise ratio of sustained vowels. The measures are derived from the least mean square fit of a waveform model to the digitized speech waveform. The speech waveform is digitized at an 8.3 kHz sampling rate, and an interpolation technique is used to improve the temporal resolution of the model fit. The ability of these procedures to measure low levels of perturbation is evaluated both on synthetic speech waveforms and on the speech recorded from subjects with normal voice characteristics.

The article deals with the analysis of the efficiency and expedience of applying filtering based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) for one-dimensional signals distorted by white Gaussian noise with a known or a priori estimated variance. It is shown that efficiency varies in wide limits depending upon the input ratio of signal-to-noise and degree of processed signal complexity. It is offered a method for predicting filtering efficiency according to the traditional quantitative criteria as the ratio of mean square error to the variance of additive noise and improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio. Forecasting is performed based on dependences obtained by regression analysis. These dependencies can be described by simple functions of several types parameters of which are determined as the result of least mean square fitting. It is shown that for sufficiently accurate prediction, only one statistical parameter calculated in the DCT domain can be preliminarily evaluated (before filtering), and this parameter can be calculated in a relatively small number of non-overlapping or partially overlapping blocks of standard size (for example, 32 samples). It is analyzed the variations of efficiency criteria variations for a set of realizations; it is studied factors that influence prediction accuracy. It is demonstrated that it is possible to carry out the forecasting of filtering efficiency for several possible values of the DCT-filter parameter used for threshold setting and, then, to recommend the best value for practical use. An example of using such an adaptation procedure for the filter parameter setting for processing the ECG signal that has not been used in the determination of regression dependences is given. As a result of adaptation, the efficiency of filtering can be essentially increased – benefit can reach 0.5-1 dB. An advantage of the proposed procedures of adaptation and prediction is their universality – they can be applied for different types of signals and different ratios of signal-to-noise.

Adaptive Noise

Removal of noise components of speech signals in mobile applications  is an important step to facilitate high resolution signals to the user. Throughout the communication method the speech signals are tainted by numerous non stationary noises. The Least Mean Square (LMS) technique is a fundamental adaptive technique usedbroadly in numerouspurposes as anoutcome of its plainness as well as toughness. In LMS technique, an importantfactor is the step size. It bewell-known that if the union rate of the LMS technique will be rapidif the step size is speedy, but the steady-state mean square error (MSE) will raise. On the rival, for the diminutive step size, the steady state MSE will be minute, but the union rate will be conscious. Thus, the step size offers anexchange among the convergence rate and the steady-state MSE of the LMS technique. Build the step size variable before fixed to recover the act of the LMS technique, explicitly, prefer large step size values at the time of the earlyunion of the LMS technique, and usetiny step size values when the structure is near up to its steady state, which results in Normalized LMS (NLMS) algorithms. In this practice the step size is not stable and changes along with the fault signal at that time. The Less mathematical difficulty of the adaptive filter is extremely attractive in speech enhancement purposes. This drop usually accessible by extract either the input data or evaluation fault.  The algorithms depend on an extract of fault or data are Sign Regressor (SR) Algorithms. We merge these sign version to various adaptive noise cancellers. SR Weight NLMS (SRWNLMS), SR Error NLMS (SRENLMS), SR Unbiased LMS (SRUBLMS) algorithms are individual introduced as a quality factor. These Adaptive noise cancellers are compared with esteem to Signal to Noise Ratio Improvement (SNRI).

A novel algorithm is developed based on fractional signal processing approach for parameter estimation of input nonlinear control autoregressive (INCAR) models. The design scheme consists of parameterization of INCAR systems to obtain linear-in-parameter models and to use fractional least mean square algorithm (FLMS) for adaptation of unknown parameter vectors. The performance analyses of the proposed scheme are carried out with third-order Volterra least mean square (VLMS) and kernel least mean square (KLMS) algorithms based on convergence to the true values of INCAR systems. It is found that the proposed FLMS algorithm provides most accurate and convergent results than those of VLMS and KLMS under different scenarios and by taking the low-to-high signal-to-noise ratio.

Signals transmitted over long distances through underwater acoustic channels are prone to corruption due to wind interference, ambient noises and various other sources of disturbance. Adaptive filters can be used to extenuate the effect of ambient noise in acoustic signals. A competent technique to denoise acoustic signals using adaptive filters has been proposed. Adaptive filtering techniques such as least mean square (LMS), normalized least mean square (NLMS) and Kalman least mean square (KLMS) have been analyzed based on their performance, with the help of characteristics like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and mean square error (MSE) for various wind speeds. An exhaustive set of data, collected using a custom made fixture containing two hydrophones, from shallow water regions in Bay of Bengal, have been used to verify the efficacy of this method. Based on the results obtained by simulation and Lab window simulator, hardware has been designed to denoise the useful signal. The defective source signal is passed through a Kalman filter based denoising hardware system. This system performs necessary operations to denoise the defective source signal and the final turnout is made free from ambient noise. The denoised signal is then stored in an external device for future use.

In this paper, A study of numerous acoustic beamforming algorithms is carried out. Beamforming algorithms are techniques utilize to determine the Direction of arrival of (DOA) the speech signals while suppress out the corresponding noises and interferences. The simple delay and sum beamformer technique which use the constrained least mean squares (LMS) filter for spatial filtering is firstly investigated. Secondly, a constrained least mean square algorithm (also known as Frost Beamformer) is considered. The beamformer algorithms are simulated in MATLAB and therefore, the simulation results indicate that there a significant enhancement in the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) for frost beamformer as compared to the simple delay and sum beamformer.

Mode Decomposition

Electroencephalography measures the sum of the post-synaptic potentials generated by many neurons having the same radial orientation with respect to the scalp. The electroen-cephalographic signals (EEG) are weak and often contaminated with different artifacts that have biological and external sources. Reliable pre-processing of the noisy, non-linear, and non-stationary brain activity signals is needed for successful extraction of characteristic features in motor imagery based brain-computer interface (MI-BCI). In this work, a signal processing technique, namely, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), has been proposed for processing EEG signals acquired from volunteer subjects for characterization and identification of motor imagery (MI) activities. EMD has been used for removal of artifacts like electrooculography (EOG) that strongly appears in frontal electrodes of EEG and the power line noise that is mainly produced by the fluorescent light. The performance of EMD has been compared with two extensions, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and multivariate empirical mode decomposition (MEMD)using signal to noise ratio (SNR). The maximum SNR values found for EMD, EEMD and MEMD are 4.30, 7.64 and 10.62 respectively for the EEG signals considered.

Ultrasonic guided wave (UGW) systems are broadly utilised in several industry sectors where the structural integrity is of concern, in particular, for pipeline inspection. In most cases, the received signal is very noisy due to the presence of unwanted wave modes, which are mainly dispersive. Hence, signal interpretation in this environment is often a challenging task, as it degrades the spatial resolution and gives a poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The multi-modal and dispersive nature of such signals hampers the ability to detect defects in a given structure. Therefore, identifying a small defect within the noise level is a challenging task. In this work, an advanced signal processing technique called split-spectrum processing (SSP) is used firstly to address this issue by reducing/removing the effect of dispersive wave modes, and secondly to find the limitation of this technique. The method compared analytically and experimentally with the conventional approaches, and showed that the proposed method substantially improves SNR by an average of 30dB. The limitations of SSP in terms of sensitivity to small defects and distances are also investigated, and a threshold has been defined which was comparable for both synthesised and experimental data. The conclusions reached in this work paves the way to enhance the reliability of UGW inspection.

In this research the efficient and low computation complex signal acclimatizing techniques are projected for the improvement of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal in remote health care applications. In clinical practices the EEG signal is extracted along with the artifacts and with some small constraints. Mainly in remote health care situations, we used low computational complexity filters which are striking. So, for the improvement of the EEG signal we introduced efficient and computation less Adaptive Noise Eliminators (ANE’s). These techniques simply utilize addition and shift operations, and also reach the required convergence speed among the other predictable techniques. The projected techniques are executed on real EEG signals which are stored and are compared with the effecting EEG arrangement. Our realizations visualize that the projected techniques offer the best concert over the previous techniques in terms of signal to noise ratio, mathematical complexity, convergence rate, Excess Mean Square error and Mis adjustment. This approach is accessible for the brain computer interface applications.

The ECG samples collected from the PhysioNet ECG-ID database are corrupted by adding structured noise and base line wandering noise. The simulation results and numerical performance analysis of this research clearly show that LMS adaptive filter can remove noise efficiently from ECG signal than fixed notch filter

Filtering Effect

Adaptive filtering has the advantages of real-time processing, small computational complexity, and good adaptability and robustness. It has been widely used in communication, navigation, signal processing, optical fiber sensing, and other fields. In this paper, by adding an interferometer with the same parameters as the signal interferometer as the reference channel, the sensing signal of the interferometric fiber-optic hydrophone is denoised by two adaptive filtering schemes based on the least mean square (LMS) algorithm and the normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm respectively. The results show that the LMS algorithm is superior to the NLMS algorithm in reducing total harmonic distortion, improving the signal-to-noise ratio and filtering effect.
