De-Noising Fractional Noise in Fiber Optic Gyroscopes Based on Lifting Wavelet
The output of fiber optic gyroscopes (FOG) involves Gaussian white noise and fractional noise which is difficult to eliminate by traditional methods because of the non-stationary, long-term correlation, self-similarity characteristics. On account of the characteristics of the wavelet multi-resolution analysis, wavelet analysis has become a powerful tool to study fractal noises. This paper introduces an effective technique for the de-noising of FOG corrupted by non-stationary noises. The proposed method is based on a second generation wavelet transform and level-dependent threshold estimator. The whole algorithm consists of the de-composition based on lifting wavelet, parameter estimation, and level-dependent soft threshold de-noising. The de-noising method based on traditional universal thresholding wavelet is also investigated to provide a comparison with the new method. Experimental results prove that the proposed method based on level-dependent lifting wavelet outperforms the traditional wavelet de-noising method.
