wdenoise
Wavelet signal denoising
Syntax
Description
denoises the data in XDEN
= wdenoise(X
)X
using an empirical Bayesian method
with a Cauchy prior. By default, the sym4
wavelet is used
with a posterior median threshold rule. Denoising is down to the minimum of
floor(log2N)
and wmaxlev(N,"sym4")
where N is the
number of samples in the data. (For more information, see wmaxlev
.)
X
is a real-valued vector, matrix, or timetable.
If
X
is a matrix,wdenoise
denoises each column ofX
.If
X
is a timetable,wdenoise
must contain real-valued vectors in separate variables, or one real-valued matrix of data.X
is assumed to be uniformly sampled.If
X
is a timetable and the timestamps are not linearly spaced,wdenoise
issues a warning.
specifies one or more options using name-value arguments in addition to any of
the input arguments in previous syntaxes. For example, XDEN
= wdenoise(___,Name,Value
)xden =
wdenoise(x,3,Wavelet="db2")
denoises x
down to
level 3 using the Daubechies db2
wavelet.
[
returns the denoised wavelet and scaling coefficients in the cell array
XDEN
,DENOISEDCFS
] = wdenoise(___)DENOISEDCFS
. The elements of
DENOISEDCFS
are in order of decreasing resolution. The
final element of DENOISEDCFS
contains the approximation
(scaling) coefficients.
[
returns the original wavelet and scaling coefficients in the cell array

,DENOISEDCFS
,ORIGCFS
] = wdenoise(___)ORIGCFS
. The elements of ORIGCFS
are in order of decreasing resolution. The final element of
ORIGCFS
contains the approximation (scaling)
coefficients.

The most general model for the noisy signal has the following form:
where time n is equally spaced. In the simplest model, suppose that e(n) is a Gaussian white noise N(0,1), and the noise level σ is equal to 1. The denoising objective is to suppress the noise part of the signal s and to recover f.
The denoising procedure has three steps:
Decomposition — Choose a wavelet, and choose a level
N
. Compute the wavelet decomposition of the signal s at levelN
.Detail coefficients thresholding — For each level from 1 to
N
, select a threshold and apply soft thresholding to the detail coefficients.Reconstruction — Compute wavelet reconstruction based on the original approximation coefficients of level
N
and the modified detail coefficients of levels from 1 toN
.
More details about threshold selection rules are in Wavelet Denoising and Nonparametric Function Estimation and in the help of the thselect
function.
