TLDR
A discrete-time wavelet transform for which the Q-factor is easily specified and the transform can be tuned according to the oscillatory behavior of the signal to which it is applied, based on a real-valued scaling factor.
Abstract
This paper describes a discrete-time wavelet transform for which the Q-factor is easily specified. Hence, the transform can be tuned according to the oscillatory behavior of the signal to which it is applied. The transform is based on a real-valued scaling factor (dilation-factor) and is implemented using a perfect reconstruction over-sampled filter bank with real-valued sampling factors. Two forms of the transform are presented. The first form is defined for discrete-time signals defined on all of Z. The second form is defined for discrete-time signals of finite-length and can be implemented efficiently with FFTs. The transform is parameterized by its Q-factor and its oversampling rate (redundancy), with modest oversampling rates (e.g., three to four times overcomplete) being sufficient for the analysis/synthesis functions to be well localized.

Multi-objective Approach to Speech Enhancement Using Tunable Q-Factor-based Wavelet Transform and ANN Techniques

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-objective formulation was proposed to find the optimal values of the Q and J of the TQWT algorithm at different noise levels, and a low complexity functional link artificial neural network-based model was developed in order to correctly estimate the appropriate values of Q andJ from the unknown noisy speech, a subjective and objective evaluation tests were carried out using three standard noisy speech data sets.
