Application of wavelet scale correlation filtering and its improved algorithm in signal processing with a spark sound source

It is seriously interfered by ship noise when analyzing and extracting broadband spark sound source signal. In the energy concentrated domain which is below 5 kHz, the traditional scale correlation filtering algorithm, which is based on adjacent-scale correlation, has limited anti-interference ability due to the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and similar Lipschitz exponent characteristic of each other. However, because different frequency bands of the broadband electric spark signal have different noise interferences, the filtering algorithm based on adjacent-scale correlation is adapted to high SNR and small-scale high-frequency wavelet coefficients filtering; the filtering algorithm based on cross-scale correlation is adapted to low SNR and large-scale low-frequency wavelet coefficients filtering, and the threshold coefficient selection method had been corrected in the algorithm. It is shown that the filtering algorithm has a good filtering effect and extracts the broadband spark sound source signal effectively; it is applicable to broadband underwater acoustic signal processing in the presence of narrow-band strong interference background noise.
