In this paper, a theory of the geological magnetic filter for the improvements of the signal to noise ratio of the magnetic detection system has been developed. The geological magnetic filter takes two sequences of magnetic fields measured from the reference sensor and the detector sensor and calculate the correlations between them in the frequency domain. Using the filter, we can remove the coherent noises in the time domain and improve the signal to noise ratio of the magnetic detection system. With the recent developments of the DSP hardware technology the geological magnetic filter can be easily implemented using the digital signal processor. We show the ability of the geological magnetic filter under various circumstances through computer simulations. Numerical simulation results show that geological magnetic filter can excellently remove the sensor misalignment effects and the regular short range local noise as well as it delete the coherent noises.

본 논문에서는 백색 잡음이 첨가된 오디오 신호로부터 잡음을 추정하고 이에 따른 지각 필터 보정을 통한 적응적 지각 필터의 속도 개선 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 잡음 추정 알고리즘은 고주파 구간에서 획득한 잡음 에너지를 사용하여 지각필터를 구성하고 일정 대역에서 추정된 기울기를 고주파 영역에 적용함으로써 전 대역의 잡음 에너지를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있게 되며 필터의 속도 향상에도 크게 기여하게 된다. 이는 기존의 적응지각필터와의 비교를 위하여 수행속도 및 SSNR, NMR 비교를 수행하였고 그 결과를 통하여 성능 개선을 확인할 수 있었다.

As society has developed rapidly toward a highly advanced digital information age, a multimedia communication service for acquisition, transmission and storage of image data as well as voice has being commercialized. However, image data is always corrupted by various noises during image processing, so researches for removing noises have been continued until now. In this paper, in order to remove impulse noise we proposed modified adaptive switching median filter that consists of two stages: noise detection and noise removal. Proposed algorithm only processes noise pixels and these noise pixels are replaced by filter output, so proposed algorithm performs well not only removes noise but also preserves edge information. Also we compare existing methods using PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) as the standard of judgement of improvement effect and choose conventional algorithms to compare with our proposed method.

The performance of blind source separation(BSS) using independent component analysis (ICA) declines significantly in a reverberant environment. A post-processing method proposed in this paper was designed to remove the residual component precisely. The proposed method used modified NLMS(normalized least mean square) filter in frequency domain, to estimate cross-talk path that causes residual cross-talk components. Residual cross-talk components in one channel is correspond to direct components in another channel. Therefore, we can estimate cross-talk path using another channel input signals from adaptive filter. Step size is normalized by input signal power in conventional NLMS filter, but it is normalized by sum of input signal power and error signal power in modified NLMS filter. By using this method, we can prevent misadjustment of filter weights. The estimated residual cross-talk components are subtracted by non-stationary spectral subtraction. The computer simulation results using speech signals show that the proposed method improves the noise reduction ratio(NRR) by approximately 3dB on conventional FDICA.

Noise removal methods for noisy images have been studied a lot in the domain of spatial and transform filtering. Low pass filtering was initially applied in the spatial domain. Recently, discrete wavelet transform has widely used for image denoising as well as image compression due to an excellent energy compaction and a property of multiresolution. In this paper, Gabor cosine and sine transform which is considered as human visual filter is applied to image denoising areas using soft thresholding technique. GCST is compared with excellent wavelet transform which uses existing soft thresholding methods from PSNR point of view. Resultant images removed noises are also visually compared. Experimental results with adding four different standard deviation levels of Gaussian distributed noises to real images show that the proposed transform has better PSNR performance of a maximum of 1.18 dB and visible perception than wavelet transform.

문자영상의 인식분야에서는 다양한 잡음으로 인해 손상된 영상을 개선하는 영상의 전처리 과정을 아주 중요시하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상의 객체 윤곽을 보호하면서 충격잡음에 효과적인 비선형 중간값(median) 필터를 먼저 적용하고, 영상객체에 대해 선택적으로 축소하고 확대하는 형태학(morphological) 필터를 직렬로 조합함으로서 선명한 문자 영상을 획득하였고, 좀 더 현실적인 문자를 인식하도록 Genesis 영상처리 보드와 이를 제어하는 MIL(Matrox Image Library) 패키지를 사용하여 실시간적으로 구현해 보았다.

As the technology of the digital information age has developed rapidly, lots of research has been done on the digital image processing techniques, such as the image restoration. However, the SM(Standard Median) filter is a typical method of recovering the image which are corrupted by the impulse noise, this method will also reduce the quality of image by generating an error in the edge region. In this paper, in order to restore the corrupted images in the impulse noise environment, a modified median filter algorithm is proposed, which uses the pixels as the center and takes double mask. By using the double mask, we are succeeded in acquiring the excellent performance on noise-canceling, edge preservation, and also in improving the quality of image.

As the society develops to advanced digital information times, many studies are underway about digital video processing technology areas such as image restoration. There are typical methods to restore the image which have been damaged by the impulse noise like SM(standard median) filter and CWM(center weighted median) filter. These filters show excellent noise reduction capabilities in low noise density areas, but in high noise density areas, noise reduction capabilities are not sufficient. In this paper, in order to restore the degraded images in impulse(Salt & Pepper) noise environment, the image restoration filter algorithm was suggested which expands and subdivide the mask focusing on damaged pixels. And to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm used PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) as the standard of judgement.
