What is hard and soft thresholding?
Hard thresholding is the process of setting to zero the coefficients whose absolute values are lower than the threshold λ . Soft thresholding is another method by first setting to zero coefficients whose absolute values are lower than the threshold λ and then shrinking the nonzero coefficients toward zero.
How do you denoise a signal?
The denoising procedure has three steps: Decomposition — Choose a wavelet, and choose a level N . Compute the wavelet decomposition of the signal s at level N . Detail coefficients thresholding — For each level from 1 to N , select a threshold and apply soft thresholding to the detail coefficients.
What is soft thresholding?
A soft threshold is a preprocessing tool that reduces the BackGround in an image, so VoXels with intensity values below the threshold value are reduced (set to lower values, or even zero). During visualization, these thresholded voxels become more transparent.
Why is soft thresholding used?
The soft- thresholding function can be used for denoising by applying it to the transform-domain representation, provided the transform yields a sparse representation of the signal.
