This article compares results obtained in previous studies using time-frequency representations (Wigner-Ville, Choi-Williams and Parametric) and the wavelet transform with those obtained with wavelet packet functions to show new findings about their quality in the analysis of ECoG recordings in human intractable epilepsy: data from 21 patients have been analyzed and processed with four types of...

Wavelet-based algorithm for image compression with multilevel unequal error protection (UEP) codes in wide-band code division multiple access (W-CDMA) system over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels are analysed. The utilization of Wavelets has come out to be a robust method for compress image/video sequence. The wavelet transform compression technique has shown to...

Performance analysis of multilevel unequal error protection (UEP) codes with wavelet video compression for wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels are achieved and evaluated. Wavelets possess a dominant method and high quality for compressing video sequence. A spatially scalable video coding framework of MPEG2 in whi...

Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...

The computation complexity dominates Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) and the low frequency resolution limit the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The degradation in frequency resolution in Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is due to the fact, that, DWT decomposes only the approximation coefficients at each level. This detail is not enough to analyse the signal like knock in the engine. The ac...

posed both spatially (S) and spectrally (F). The spatial decomposition is carried out using a quad-tree split. Since the spatial partitions do not overlap, this segmentation allows the four children nodes to be further analyzed independently. The frequency decomposition is performed using a four channel quadrature mirror filter (QMF) bank. This produces a library of wavelet packet bases which c...

A non-uniform speech segmentation method based on wavelet packet transform is used for the localisation of phoneme boundaries. Eleven subbands are chosen by applying the mean best basis algorithm. Perceptual scale is used for decomposition of speech via Meyer wavelet in the wavelet packet structure. A real valued vector representing the digital speech signal is decomposed into phone-like units ...

In this paper, an algorithm named best wavelet packet tree decomposition (BWPTD) is proposed for image compression. In order to obtain better sparse representation of image, best wavelet packet basis is introduced to decompose image signal in the algorithm. Experimental results show that BWPTD is better than single layer wavelet decompression (SLWD) and original compressed sensing (OCS) in peak...

In this paper a novel multicarrier modulation system called Complex Wavelet Packet Modulation (CWPM) has been proposed. It is based on using the Complex Wavelet Transform (CWT) together with the Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM). The proposed system has been tested for communication over flat and frequency selective Rayleigh fading channels and its performance has been compared with some other mu...

Traditional wavelet packet audio compression algorithms do not utilize the temporal masking properties of the human auditory system, relying instead on simultaneous masking models. This paper presents the design and implementation of a perceptual wavelet audio coder by incorporating temporal and simultaneous masking models. The efficiency of the encoder was assessed based upon the number of bit...
