A new signal-denoising approach based on DT-CWT (Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform) is presented in this paper to extract feature information from microstructure profile. It takes advantage of shift invariance of DT-CWT, non-Gaussian probability distribution for the wavelet coefficients and the statistical dependencies between a coefficient and its parent. This approach substantially improved the performance of classical wavelet denoising algorithms, both in terms of SNR and in terms of visual artifacts. A simulated MEMS microstructure signal is analyzed.

A method based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) was proposed for enhancing the images. By taking into account the non-Gaussian probability distribution and the statistical dependencies among wavelet coefficients of some signals, and by taking advantage of near shift-invariance of DT-CWT, it can obtain higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than common wavelet denoising methods. The simulation results show that the proposed method is better than the traditional methods. It has a good enhancement performance which can improve the details of the image automatically.

High-resolution seismic imaging requires noise attenuation to achieve signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) improvements without compromising data bandwidth. Amplitude versus offset analysis requires good amplitude fidelity in premigration processes. Any nonreflected wavefield energy in the data will degrade the seismic image quality. Despite significant progress over the years, preserving low-frequency signals without compromising the S/N and avoiding the smearing of aliased signal are still a challenge for conventional methods. This problem is compounded when additional interference noise is added with simultaneous source acquisition. Because noise characteristics vary from shot to shot and receiver to receiver, we need a method that is robust and effective. In addition, we also want the method to be efficient and easy to use from a practical perspective. We have recently developed an approach using a wavelet transform to deterministically separate the primary signal from the noise, including simultaneous source interference. The goals are (1) improving the S/N without compromising bandwidth, (2) preserving the low-frequency and near-offset primaries without compromising the S/N, and (3) preserving the local primary wavefield while attenuating noise. For distance-separated simultaneous source acquisition, the goal is preserving long-offset primaries while removing interference. This wavelet denoising flow consists of a linear transformation and filtering using the complex wavelet transform (CWT). For reflection signals, normal moveout (NMO) is used. NMO transforms the low-velocity surface waves and the interference noise to where it is easily identified and rejected with a dip filter in the multidimensional CWT domain. Land field data examples have demonstrated significantly improved S/Ns and low-frequency signal preservation in migrated images after wavelet denoising. Since the numerical implementation of the CWT is as fast as a fast Fourier transform, this flow is able to suppress noise and interference simultaneously on the 3D land data much faster than the other inversion methods.

On the basis of wavelet denoising and its better time-frequency characteristic, this paper presents an effective vibration signal denoising method for food refrigerant air compressor. The solution of eliminating strong noise is investigated with the combination of soft threshold and exponential lipschitza. The good denoising results show that the presented method is effective for improving the signal noise ratio and builds the good foundation for further extraction of the vibration signals.

This paper presents the results of a study on non-Gaussian characteristic of coastal waves. From the results of the statistical analysis of more than 500 records obtained in the growing stage of the storm, the parameters involved in the non-Gaussian probability distribution which are significant for predicting wave characteristics are clarified, and these parameters are expressed as a function of water depth and sea severity. The limiting sea severity below which the wind-generated coastal waves are considered to be Gaussian is obtained for a given water depth.

A novel signal denoising method is proposed whereby goodness-of-fit (GOF) test in combination with a majority classifications-based neighbourhood filtering is employed on complex wavelet coefficients obtained by applying dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) on a noisy signal. The DT-CWT has proven to be a better tool for signal denoising as compared to the conventional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) owing to its approximate translation invariance. The proposed framework exploits statistical neighbourhood dependencies by performing the GOF test locally on the DT-CWT coefficients for their preliminary classification/detection as signal or noise. Next, a deterministic neighbourhood filtering approach based on majority noise classifications is employed to detect false classification of signal coefficients as noise (via the GOF test) which are subsequently restored. The proposed method shows competitive performance against the state of the art in signal denoising.

Abstract Dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) exhibits superiority of shift invariance, directional selectivity, perfect reconstruction (PR), and limited redundancy and can effectively separate various surface components. However, in nano scale the morphology contains pits and convexities and is more complex to characterize. This paper presents an improved approach which can simultaneously separate reference and waviness and allows an image to remain robust against abnormal signals. We included a bilateral filtering (BF) stage in DT-CWT to solve imaging problems. In order to verify the feasibility of the new method and to test its performance we used a computer simulation based on three generations of Wavelet and Improved DT-CWT and we conducted two case studies. Our results show that the improved DT-CWT not only enhances the robustness filtering under the conditions of abnormal interference, but also possesses accuracy and reliability of the reference and waviness from the 3-D nano scalar surfaces.
