Owing to its rapidly increasing popularity over last few decades the wavelet transform has become quite a standard tool in numerous research and application domains. With Wavelet transforms, various algorithms for denoising in wavelet domain were introduced. Wavelets gave a superior performance in image denoising because here multi-resolution analysis is possible. Wavelet thresholding is a signal...
Low amplitude EEG signal are easily affected by various noise sources. This work presents de-noising methods based on the combination of stationary wavelet transform (SWT), universal threshold, statistical threshold and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) with symlet, haar, coif, and bior4.4 wavelets.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a widely used signal for analyzing the activities of brain. It has extensively used for the diagnosis of different nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Seizures, Epilepsy, etc. Ocular activity creates significant artifacts in electroencephalogram recordings. These artifacts increase complexity in analyzing the EEG and obtaining the clinical information...
Noise in images is ubiquitous and extraction of relevant features from noisy images is non-trivial problems. For satisfactory results of any higher level image processing like segmentation, recognition, authentication, compression, etc image denoising is an inevitable pre-processing step. Most of the practical images have directional features, edges, curves, lines and texture singularities as high...

Nonstationary signals are continuous in nature consequently we use 1D Discrete Wavelet Transform which gives us a better time-...
Noise suppression is an integral part of any image processing task Noise significantly degrades the image quality and hence makes it difficult for the observer to discriminate fine detail of the images especially in diagnostic examinations. Through decades of research, mass articles on image denoising have been proposed The effect of noise in the images can be reduced by using either spatial filtering...
The most common noises in ElectroCardioGram (ECG) signal processing are baseline wandering and the 50 or 60 Hz power line interferences. In order to remove these two major source of noises, we have used the recent powerful Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) signal processing in ECG signals which are obtained from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The results indicate that DWT is a good method for filtering...
Noise effects are unavoidable in engineering data acquisition systems. Noise reduction is necessary for numerous practical problems in either time domain or frequency domain, where measurements and observations are contaminated by diverse sources of noise. Advanced noise reduction algorithms should be applied to minimize the impact of data corruption in problem solving. Thus, a comparative study is...
Human activities are recognized from the Electrooculogram (EOG) signal generated from the movement of eye. Hence early, accurate preprocessing of EOG signals is important. In recent years, this became an active area of research. The EOG signal captured using acquisition device is corrupted with the noise and device intrinsic, thus pre processing (noise reduction) is first and foremost step in any...
