This study determined the optimal wavelet transform parameters for denoising phonocardiogram signals, with various evaluation metrics showing that the fifth-order Coiflet wavelet in combination with the soft thresholding function and rigrsure threshold selection rule yielded the best results, with improved performance at level 6 DLs.
Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals are contaminated with various noise signals, which hinders the accurate diagnostic interpretation of the signal. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is a well-known technique used to remove noise from PCG signals and improve signal quality. The performance of DWT-based denoising depends upon several parameters involved in the process, such as mother wavelets used for decomposition, the number of decomposition levels (DLs), thresholding technique used and the threshold estimation rule followed. In this work, an investigative study is carried out to select the optimal parameter values which give the best denoising performance. The metrics such as mean-square error (MSE), normalized-mean-square error (NMSE), root-mean-square error (RMSE), percentage root-mean-square difference (PRD) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are used to evaluate the performance of the denoising in this study. The results obtained show that the fifth-order Coiflet wavelet is best suited for denoising PCG signals when applied with the soft thresholding (ST) function and rigrsure threshold selection rule. Also, the optimum number of DLs resulting in better performance is level 6. SNR value obtained from the studies shows the efficacy of the parameters selected for denoising. The denoised PCG signals provide accurate information to determine various kinds of heart valve-related disorders (HVDs).
