Local Window

The shape of local window plays a vital role in the estimation of original signal variance, which is used to shrink the noisy wavelet coefficients in wavelet-based image denoising algorithms. This paper presents an anisotropic-shaped region-based Wiener filtering (ASRWF) and BayesShrink (ASRBS) algorithms, which exploit the region characteristics to estimate the original signal variance using a statistical approach. The proposed approach divides the region centered on a noisy wavelet coefficient into various non-overlapping subregions. The Euclidean distance-based measure is considered to obtain the similarities between reference subregion and adjacent subregions. An appropriate threshold value is estimated by applying a statistical approach on these distances and the sets of similar and dissimilar subregions are obtained from a defined region. Thus, an anisotropic-shaped region is obtained by neglecting the dissimilar subregions in a defined region. The variance of every similar subregion is calculated and then averaged to estimate the original signal variance to shrink noisy wavelet coefficients effectively. Finally, the estimated signal variance is utilized in Wiener filtering and BayesShrink algorithms to improve the denoising performance. The performance of the proposed algorithms is analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively on standard images for different noise levels.

At first, this paper is concerned with wavelet-based image denoising using Bayesian technique. In conventional denoising process, the parameters of probability density function (PDF) are usually calculated from the first few moments, mean and variance. In the first part of our work, a new image denoising algorithm based on Pearson Type VII random vectors is proposed. This PDF is used because it allows higher-order moments to be incorporated into the noiseless wavelet coefficients' probabilistic model. One of the cruxes of the Bayesian image denoising algorithms is to estimate the variance of the clean image. Here, maximum a posterior (MAP) approach is employed for not only noiseless wavelet-coefficient estimation but also local observed variance acquisition. For the local observed variance estimation, the selection of noisy wavelet-coefficient model, either a Laplacian or a Gaussian distribution, is based upon the corrupted noise power where Gamma distribution is used as a prior for the variance. Evidently, our selection of prior is motivated by analytical and computational tractability. In our experiments, our proposed method gives promising denoising results with moderate complexity. Eventually, our image denoising method can be simply extended to audio/speech processing by forming matrix representation whose rows are formed by time segments of digital speech waveforms. This way, the use of our image denoising methods can be exploited to improve the performance of various audio/speech tasks, e.g., denoised enhancement of voice activity detection to capture voiced speech, significantly needed for speech coding and voice conversion applications. Moreover, one of the voice abnormality detections, called oropharyngeal dysphagia classification, is also required denoising method to improve the signal quality in elderly patients. We provide simple speech examples to demonstrate the prospects of our techniques.

Data Signal

Resistances that occur in retrieving and processing signal is caused by the interference (noise) on the data signal measurement results. The resistance will raise uncertainties in determining the value of the frequency. This is due to the signal which is mixed with the noise in the original signal. In general, the process of signal analysis uses Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT). However, by using FFT in analyzing and reconstructing there are still doubts in determining the real frequency due to the still visible noise in the signal. In this study the signal function used is a sinusiodal function, Y = 2 sinπf1 t + 2 sin πf2 t, with a given noise value of 2 DB. The specified frequency value of f1 and f2 equal to 0.25 Hz and 5 Hz, respectively. This research proposed wavelet transforms to analyze and in filtering original signal with noise. By using the transformation wavelet, signal with noise filtered with the high pass and low pass filter method and also using the Haar wavelet function in analyzing. Once the signal is decomposed using wavelet transformation, the wavelet coefficients value will be obtained. The wavelet coefficient values will then threshold within a range of 5-50%. The purposed in determining the treshold value is to reduce the signal data identified as a noise signal data. If the value of wavelet coefficient below the treshold percentage value multiplied by the maximum wavelet coefficient, it is identified as a noise signal data, and the value of coefficient wavelet will be zero. The wavelet coefficient will then be reconstructed in order to obtain the data signal with the new sinusoidal function. In determining the value of the reconstructed frequency signal, the Fast Fourier Transform (FTT) method is used. The results of the study is signals with noise can be analyzed and filtered using wavelet transforms, by changing the signal into wavelet coefficients. Furthermore, the threshold of 5% is capable in reducing of noise in signal so that the graph of frequency and amplitude showed a clearer value of frequency.

This work gives a survey by comparing the different methods of image denoising with the help of wavelet transforms and Convolutional Neural Network. To get the better method for Image denoising, there is distinctive merging which have been used. The vital role of communication is transmitting visual information in the appearance of digital images, but on the receiver side we will get the image with corruption. Therefore, in practical analysis and facts, the powerful image denoising approach is still a legitimate undertaking. The algorithms which are very beneficial for processing the signal like compression of image and denoising the image is Wavelet transforms. To get a better quality image as output, denoising methods includes the maneuver of data of that image. The primary aim is wavelet coefficient modification inside the new basis, by that the noise within the image data can be eliminated.

Threshold Approach

Image denoising is a major tricky in image processing. The main determination is to quash noise from the degraded image while keeping other details of the image unchanged. In recent years, many multi-resolution based approaches have attained great success in image denoising. In a nut shell, the wavelet transform provide an optimal representation of a noisy image, including a signal with information from a limited number of coefficients and noise by all other left over coefficients. The most popular way to eliminate noise is to threshold the noise affected wavelet coefficient. The noise affected wavelet coefficient shrinkage is better, only if the threshold value is properly selected. Therefore, the performance of various wavelet based denoising techniques depends on the estimation of the threshold value. Different techniques are available to find the threshold value. The aim of this study is to discuss denoising schemes based on various wavelet transforms using threshold approach. Hence, this article examines the research article with threshold selection based on spatial adaptivity, sub-band adaptivity and also hybrid methods with multi-resolution wavelet structures.

AbstractToday, image denoising by thresholding of wavelet coefficients is a commonly used tool for 2D image enhancement. Since the data product of spectroscopic imaging surveys has two spatial dimensions and one spectral dimension, the techniques for denoising have to be adapted to this change in dimensionality. In this paper we will review the basic method of denoising data by thresholding wavelet coefficients and implement a 2D–1D wavelet decomposition to obtain an efficient way of denoising spectroscopic data cubes. We conduct different simulations to evaluate the usefulness of the algorithm as part of a source finding pipeline.

Abstract Bud maturation is a physiological process which implies a set of morphophysiological changes which lead to the transition of growth patterns from young to mature. This transition defines tree growth and architecture, and in consequence traits such as biomass production and wood quality. In Pinus pinaster, a conifer of great timber value, bud maturation is closely related to polycyclism (multiple growth periods per year). This process causes a lack of apical dominance, and consequently increased branching that reduces its timber quality and value. However, despite its importance, little is known about bud maturation. In this work, proteomics and metabolomics were employed to study apical and basal sections of young and mature buds in P. pinaster. Proteins and metabolites in samples were described and quantified using (n)UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap. The datasets were analyzed employing an integrative statistical approach, which allowed the determination of the interactions between proteins and metabolites and the different bud sections and ages. Specific dynamics of proteins and metabolites such as HISTONE H3 and H4, RIBOSOMAL PROTEINS L15 and L12, CHAPERONIN TCP1, 14–3-3 protein gamma, gibberellins A1, A3, A8, strigolactones and ABA, involved in epigenetic regulation, proteome remodeling, hormonal signaling and abiotic stress pathways showed their potential role during bud maturation. Candidates and pathways were validated employing interaction databases and targeted transcriptomics. These results increase our understanding of the molecular processes behind bud maturation a key step towards improving timber production and natural pine forests management in a future scenario of climate change. However, further studies are necessary by using different P. pinaster populations that show contrasting wood quality and stress tolerance in order to generalize the results.

Abstract To begin unraveling the functional significance of calcium channel diversity, we identified mutations in Dmca1D, a Drosophila calcium channel α1 subunit cDNA that we recently cloned. These mutations constitute the l(2)35Fa lethal locus, which we rename Dmca1D. A severe allele, Dmca1DX10, truncates the channel after the IV-S4 transmembrane domain. These mutants die as late embryos because they lack vigorous hatching movements. In the weaker allele, Dmca1DAR66, a cysteine in transmembrane domain I-S1 is changed to tyrosine. Dmca1DAR66 embryos hatch but pharate adults have difficulty eclosing. Those that do eclose have difficulty in fluid-filling of the wings. These studies show that this member of the calcium channel α1 subunit gene family plays a nonredundant, vital role in larvae and adults.
