The wavelet transform is a modern signal processing tool. The wavelet transform earned itself a great success mainly for its unique properties, such as the capability of recognizing very fast changes in processed signal. The theoretical part of this work is introduction to wavelet theory, more specifically wavelet types, a wavelet transform and its application in systems dealing with signal denoising. A main problem connected to speech signals denoising was introduced. The problem is degradation of the speech signal when denoising unvoiced parts. It is because of the fact that unvoiced parts and noise itself have very similar characteristics. The solution would be to apply different attitude to voiced and unvoiced segments of the speech. The main goal of this diploma thesis was to create an application implementing the speech signal denoising using the wavelet transform. The special attention should have been paid to applying different attitude to voiced and unvoiced segments of the speech. The demanded application is programmed as a grafical user interface (GUI) in MATLAB environment. The algorithm implemented in this form allows users to test introduced procedures with a great comfort. This work presents achieved results and discusses them considering general requirements posed on an application of given type. The most important conlusion of this Diploma Thesis is the fact that some kind of trade-off between sufficient signal denoising and keeping the speech understandable has to be made.
