Abstract

See full text

WAM.TM. is a new method of digitally coding and decoding acoustic signals for data compression and noise reduction. The method comprises constructing a filter bank using wavelet transforms of a basic filter impulse function to represent the response of the mammalian cochlea. Data compression is obtained by truncation of a discrete representation. Reconstruction relies on the theory of frames and produces a reconstruction method and apparatus based on irregular sampling methods which produces good quality results in a very few stages. Actual reconstructions show very good data compression and noise reduction performance.
