ABSTRACT To efficiently eliminate the noise generated by the triaxial accelerometer when collecting pigs’ behavioural data, this paper adopted SNR and MSE as the indexes to evaluate the de-noising effect of pigs’ acceleration signal under various combinations of wavelet basis, decomposition layer, threshold rule and threshold function. Based on the optimal wavelet parameter combinations, the de-noised data were divided into a training dataset and test dataset to conduct a 3-fold cross validation. The results showed that Db4 wavelet can achieve a satisfactory de-noising effect when used as a wavelet basis for 8 layers wavelet decomposition based on Rigrsure threshold rules and the new improved threshold function. As a result, compared with traditional wavelet hard threshold de-noising, soft threshold de-noising and EMD de-noising method, the improved threshold function improved the stability of signal filtering, which was shown to be more practical, effective and feasible. As such, wavelet de-noising was found to significantly improve the classification accuracy of all four behaviour classes (lying, standing, walking and exploring) considered for this study, and the overall major mean accuracy was improved from 0.680 to 0.826.
