An investigation of speech enhancement using wavelet filtering method

Abstract

This paper investigates the utilization of wavelet filters via multistage convolution by Reverse Biorthogonal Wavelets (RBW) in high and low pass band frequency parts of speech signal. Speech signal is decomposed into two pass bands of frequency; high and low, and then the noise is removed in each band individually in different stages via wavelet filters. This approach provides better outcomes because it does not cut the speech information, which occurs when utilizing conventional thresholding. We tested the proposed method via several noise probability distribution functions. Subjective evaluation is engaged in conjunction with objective evaluation to accomplish optimal investigation method. The method is simple but has surprise high quality results. The method shows superiority over Donoho and Johnstone thresholding method and BirgeMassart thresholding strategy method.

“…The Yule-Walker parametric method calculates the AR parameters through the biased estimation of the autocorrelation function given by Equation ( The wavelet threshold denoising method is applied by employing a multilevel 1D wavelet analysis by Daubechies family [49,50]. The wavelet decomposition structure of the signal is extracted.…”

Off-Line Handwritten Signature Recognition by Wavelet Entropy and Neural Network

“…Also, by taking the inner product between the original signal and the wavelet functions, the DWT coefficients can be produced. Given that wavelet functions are simply translated and dilated versions of each other, a simpler algorithm, known as Mallat's pyramid tree algorithm, has been proposed ( Figure 2) [45][46][47].…”

“…where W L (p, j) is the p-th scaling coefficient at the j-th stage, W H (p, j) is the p-th wavelet coefficient at the j-th stage, and h(n), g(n) are the dilation coefficients relating to the scaling and wavelet functions, respectively [47]. In the last decade, a tremendous increase in the applications of wavelets, in various scientific fields, has emerged [46].…”

“…PNN sets the first layer weights to F and the first layer biases are all set to 0.8326/SP resulting in radial basis functions that cross 0.5 at weighted inputs of +/− SP. The pattern layer weights are set to P [47]. Now, we test the network on new feature vector (testing signatures) with our network to be classified.…”

Performance Enhancement of DCT Based Speaker Recognition Using Wavelet De-Noising

“…Khaled Daqrouq et al [13] proposed a multistage convolution approach in which Reverse Biorthogonal Wavelets are used. The authors observed better quality improvements in the enhancement of the speech signal.…”
