A New Wavelet Based Method for Denoising of Biological Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wavelet shrinkage denoising methods are widely used for estimation of biological signals from noisy environment. The popular Hard and Soft thresholding filters are commonly used in these methods. In this paper shrinkage method based on a New Thresholding filter for denoising of biological signals is proposed. The efficacy of this filter is evaluated by applying this filter for denoising of ECG signal contaminated with additive Gaussian noise. The performance of this filter is compared with that of Hard and Soft thresholding filters using Mean Square Error (MSE) and Signal to Noise ratio (SNR). Experiments revealed that the New Thresholding filter is significantly more efficient than Hard and Soft filters in denoising the signals. It embodies the features of both Hard and Soft filters. Different qualities of denoising are obtained by varying the parameters of this filter.

Can Wavelet Denoising Improve Motor Unit Potential Template Estimation?
Background: Electromyographic (EMG) signals obtained from a contracted muscle contain valuable information on its activity and health status. Much of this information lies in motor unit potentials (MUPs) of its motor units (MUs), collected during the muscle contraction. Hence, accurate estimation of a MUP template for each MU is crucial. Objective: To investigate the possibility of improv...

متن کاملA New Shearlet Framework for Image Denoising
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...

Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...
