We propose a new approach to improve the performance of speech enhancement techniques based on wavelet thresholding. First, space–adaptation of the threshold is obtained by extending the principle of the level–dependent threshold to the Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT). Next, the time–adaptation is introduced using the Teager Energy Operator (TEO) of the wavelets coefficients. Finally, the time–s...

In this paper, a single discriminating indicator to assess the deterioration of power quality (Deviation Factor of Power Quality) is proposed using tensor analysis and wavelet packet transform (WPT). This factor can be used in the presence of stationary and non-stationary power quality disturbances. In addition, practical examples are included to validate the deviation factor of power quality.

There is considerable rise in the research of iris recognition system over a period of time. Most of the researchers has been focused on the development of new iris pre-processing and recognition algorithms for good quail iris images. In this paper, iris recognition system using Haar wavelet packet is presented. Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT ) which is extension of discrete wavelet transform ha...

The success of health monitoring and condition assessment of power transformers based on winding current signature analysis lies on proper extraction of features. The extraction of features in turn depends on appropriate signal processing methods. Fourier based signal analysis provides only frequency information and also suitable only for stationary signals. In this paper we present a combined ...

The aim of this study is to classify the citrus fruit images based on the external defect using the features extracted in the spectral domain (transform based) and to compare the performance of each of the feature set. Automatic classification of agricultural produce by machine vision technology plays a very important role as it improves the quality of grading. Multi resolution analysis using w...

One of the most widely used approaches for feature extraction in speaker recognition is the filter bank-based Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) approach. The main goal of feature extraction in this context is to extract features from raw speech that captures the unique characteristics of a particular individual. During the feature extraction process, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT...

This paper proposes a new method for rejecting the Continuous Wave Interferences (CWI) in the Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The proposed filter is made by cascading an adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and a Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) based filter. Although adaptive FIR filters are easy to implement and have a linear phase, they create self-noise in the rejection of...

Using acoustic emission (AE) signals to monitor tool wear states is one of the most e€ective methods used in metal cutting processes. As AE signals contain information on cutting processes, the problem of how to extract the features related to tool wear states from these signals needs to be solved. In this paper, a wavelet packet transform (WPT) method is used to decompose continuous AE signals...

Auscultation signals are nonstationary in nature. Wavelet packet transform (WPT) has currently become a very useful tool in analyzing nonstationary signals. Sample entropy (SampEn) has recently been proposed to act as a measurement for quantifying regularity and complexity of time series data. WPT and SampEn were combined in this paper to analyze auscultation signals in traditional Chinese medi...
