A Comparative Performance Analysis of Wavelets in Denoising of Speech Signals

چکیده
It is known that data or signal obtained from the real world environment is corrupted by the noise. In most of the cases this noise is strong causing poor SNR and therefore, need to be removed from the desired signal before further processing of signal. Research in the area of wavelets showed that wavelet shrinkage method performs well and efficiently as compared to other methods of denoising. Here, we present a comparative analysis of performance of various types of wavelets i.e. Haar, Db10, Coif5, Bior3.3 and Sym5 in denoising of speech signals in the presence of White Gaussian noise. In the process of denoising, scale dependent Visu Shrink employing universal threshold selection criteria (square-root-log) method for deciding the threshold levels for truncating the wavelet coefficients with soft thresholding is used. Along with the performance evaluation of different types of wavelets, the effect of wavelet decomposition levels is also investigated. The quality of denoised speech signal is expressed in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) as compared to original noiseless speech signal. General Terms Signal Enhancement, Denoising.

It is known that signals obtained from the real world environment are corrupted by the noise. This noise causes poor performance of the relevant system and therefore must be removed effectively before further processing of signal.

Traditional noise removal methods like Non-Local Means create spurious boundaries inside regular zones. Visushrink removes too many coefficients and yields recovered images that are overly smoothed. In Bayesshrink method, sharp features are preserved. However, PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) is considerably low. BLS-GSM generates some discontinuous information during the course of denoising a...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...

There are many unavoidable noise interferences in image acquisition and transmission. To make it better for subsequent processing, the noise in the image should be removed in advance. There are many kinds of image noises, mainly including salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on the research of the Gaussian noise removal. It introduces many wavelet threshold denoising alg...
