Detailed Description

Wavelet De-noising block.

Wavelet de-noising uses the following techniques:

Symmetric signal extension
Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT)
Hard Thresholding

The sequence is: signal extension -> SWT decomposition -> thresholding -> SWT reconstruction

The functions used are present in the Wavelet toolbox

Probably the hard part of using this is to figure out the number of levels and the thresholds for each level. For a Raman spectrum, it has been found that 6 levels and the [0, 0, 0, 100, 1000, 1000] thresholds worked fine using a 'haar' wavelet.

You can use the 'interactive_wden' tool to help finding these values.

Alternatively you can use the 'Signal extension' followed by the 'SWT de-noising 1D' tool provided with the Wavelet Toolbox (accessed by typing 'wavemenu') to process one spetrum and get these parameters.

Member Function Documentation

function block::boot ( in o )

inherited

Configures the structure to deal with new type of data.

Booting accounts for clearing any recordings; model structure; stored data etc from the object so that it can be re-used anew.

protectedinherited

Boots the block.

Abstract. Booting accounts for clearing any recordings; model structure; stored data etc from the object so that it can be re-used anew.

Member Data Documentation

Property irobj::classtitle

protectedinherited

Class Title. Should have a descriptive name, as short as possible.

Definition at line 50 of file irobj.m.

Property irobj::color

inherited

=[0, .8, 0]. multipurpose feature, routines may use it for different things. Major use is to change the background of objtool and blockmenu. See also classes_html.m

Definition at line 42 of file irobj.m.

Property block::flag_bootable

protectedinherited

=0. (High-Level setting and internal function) Whether or not the block is bootable.

Definition at line 14 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_booted

protectedinherited

=0. Set to 1 by boot() after booting the block

Definition at line 69 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_fixednf

protectedinherited

=1. (internal function) If true, dataset number of features will be checked upon training and using. Ignored if o.flag_trainable is 0.

Definition at line 28 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_fixedno

protectedinherited

=0. (internal function) If true, dataset number of observations will be checked upon training and using. Ignored if o.flag_trainable is 0.

Definition at line 31 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_incrtrain

protectedinherited

=0. (internal function). Whether or not the block accepts incremental training. The meaning is:

If YES, it means that the block can adapt/evolve everytime its train() method is called
If NO, the block can be trained only once, and calling its train() method many times can lead to unpredictable results

Definition at line 23 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_multiin

protectedinherited

=0. (High-Level setting (gencode)) Whether block allows/expects multiple objects as input.

Definition at line 35 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_out

protectedinherited

=1. (High-Level setting (gencode)) Whether the block generates any output at all (counterexample: vis blocks)

Definition at line 38 of file block.m.

Property irobj::flag_params

protectedinherited

=1. (GUI setting) Whether to call a GUI when the block is selected in blockmenu.m . If true, a routine called "uip_"<class name> will be called.

Definition at line 57 of file irobj.m.

Property block::flag_train_inliers_only

protectedinherited

If true, train() will pass on to do_train() a dataset with inliers only. If this flag is true, flag_train_require_inliers will be ignored, because flag_train_inliers_only being true is one way to solve the "inliers requirement".

Definition at line 46 of file block.m.

Property block::flag_train_require_inliers

protectedinherited

='irdata'. (High-Level setting) Class or classes (can be string or cell of strings) that the block can deal with. Allows for objtool and datatool to know (when appropriate) which blocks are applicable to the selected object(s).
