Abstract

Noise is ubiquitous in nature; it decreases the measurement or data reliability. This reliability may be increased by using a novel method that detects and reduces noise for preserving signals, called the Rolling-circle method. Our method treats noisy signals by eroding finite-difference moduli, circle radii, with either a version for denoising signals or a version for smoothing signals. Both versions were compared to a moving average filter, a simple median filter, an adaptive median filter, a Savitzky-Golay filter, and two wavelet threshold filters. For these filters, we tested four cases: denoising a histogram, denoising a Raman spectrum, smoothing a well-log, and denoising a synthetic signal. In such cases, our method has surpassed the mentioned filters as measured through well-known metrics. A quantitative metric, called 0-metric, is also proposed in this work for assessing the amount of preserved data. The preservation of a clean signal was only achieved entirely by the proposed method, which we believe that no filter ever did thus far. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
