Signal Denoising Based on Wavelet Threshold Denoising and Optimized Variational Mode Decomposition.

To eliminate the noise from the signals received by MEMS vector hydrophone, a joint algorithm is proposed in this paper based on wavelet threshold (WT) denoising, variational mode decomposition (VMD) optimized by a hybrid algorithm of Multiverse Optimizer (MVO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and correlation coefficient (CC) judgment to perform the signal denoising of MEMS vector hydrophone, named as MVO-PSO-VMD-CC-WT, whose fitness function is the root mean square error (RMSE) and whose individual is the parameters of VMD. For every individual, the original signal is decomposed by VMD into pure components, noisy components, and noise components in terms of CC judgment, where the pure components are directly retained, the noisy components are denoised by WT denoising, and the noise components are discarded, and then, the denoised noisy components and the pure components are reconstructed to be the denoised signal of the original signal. Then, the obtained optimal individual is utilized to perform the signal denoising by MVO-PSO-VMD-CC-WT by the use of the above repeated signal processing. Two simulated experimental results show that the MVO-PSO-VMD-CC-WT algorithm which has the highest signal-to-noise ratio and the least RMSE is superior to the other compared algorithms. And the proposed MVO-PSO-VMD-CC-WT algorithm is effectively applied to perform the signal denoising of the actual lake experiments. Therefore, the proposed MVO-PSO-VMD-CC-WT is suitable for the signal denoising and can be applied into the actual experiments in signal processing.
