ABSTRACT
Techniques based on Haar wavelet through lifting coefficients are gaining popularities for denoising data. The
idea is to transform the data in to the wavelet basis, where large magnitude wavelet coefficients are mainly the
signals and the smaller magnitude coefficients represents the noise. By suitably modifying these coefficients, the
noise can be removed from data .wavelet denoising is problem on implementation on computer is somewhat
difficult. In order to implement on computer we will use Haar wavelet through lifting for denoising.

I. INTRODUC
TION
In signal
processing we have
many applications
which deal with noisy
data. In most cases it is
desirable to work with
undisturbed signal.
Therefore, we have
many methods to obtain
clean signal by
suppressing the noise.
One powerful approach
to do this is to take
advantage of the
properties coming along
with the Haar wavelet
transformation through
lifting. The wavelet
transformation
recombines the data in
such a way that the
result concentrates the
main information in
only a few values, the
wavelet coefficients.
In signal
processing we are using
wavelets to denoise the
signal rather than
fourier methods because
wavelets are located in
time and frequency
where as fourier basis
functions are localized
in frequency but not in
time[1]. We have two
popular thresholding
methods to denoise the
signal so we will use
these thresholding
methods along with
lifting transformation to
denoise the signal. In
