Combined Neural Network Model To Compute Wavelet Coefficients

Abstract

In recent years a novel model based on artificial neural networks technology has been introduced in the signal processing community for modelling the signals under study. The wavelet coefficients characterize the behaviour of the signal and computation of the wavelet coefficients is particularly important for recognition and diagnostic purposes. Therefore, we dealt with wavelet decomposition of time-varying biomedical signals. In the present study, we propose a new approach that takes advantage of combined neural network (CNN) models to compute the wavelet coefficients. The computation was provided and expressed by applying the CNNs to ophthalmic arterial and internal carotid arterial Doppler signals. The results were consistent with theoretical analysis and showed good promise for discrete wavelet transform of the time-varying biomedical signals. Since the proposed CNNs have high performance and require no complicated mathematical functions of the discrete wavelet transform, they were found to be effective for the computation of wavelet coefficients.
