Currently, image processing is being used in various fields such as image analysis, image recognition, and factory automation according to the development of IT technology. Salt and pepper noise is generated due to various external factors in the process of acquiring or transmitting an image, which deteriorates the image quality. Therefore, noise removal to improve image quality is essential. Various methods have been proposed to remove salt and pepper noise, and representative examples include AF, MF, and A-TMF. However, the conventional filter has insufficient noise removal performance in a high-density noise environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an algorithm for estimating and processing the original pixel by using the modified distance weight filter only in the case of noise, and replacing the original pixel in case of non-noise after performing noise judgment. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we compare and analyze it with existing algorithms using PSNR.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the effect of attentional focus on performance of task. Previous studies has shown that motor learning can be enhanced by directing performers's attention to the effects of their movements(external focus), rather than to the body movement producing the effects(internal focus). Wulf and colleagues have invoked the 'constrained action hypothesis' to explain the comparative benefits of adopting an external rather than an internal focus of attention. This hypothesis proposed that when performers utilize an internal focus of attention, they may actually constrain or interfere with automatic control processes that would normally regulate the movement, whereas an external focus of attention allows the motor system to more naturally self-organize. Electromyography(EMG) was used to determine neuromuscular correlates of external versus internal focus differences. EMG activity was lower with an external relative to an internal focus. This suggest that an external focus of attention enhances movement economy, and presumably reduces 'noise' in the motor system that hampers fine movement control. Focusing on a more remote effect seems to facilitate the discriminability of the effect from the body movements that produced it and to be more beneficial than focusing on a very close effects. There might be an optimal distance of the effect, at which ti wis easily distinguishable from the body movement but at which it is also still possible for the performer to relate this effect to the movement techniques. Future Studies of motor learning of patient need to accommodate these new finding and account for the role of the learner's attentional focus and its influencing on learning.

This paper investigates the influence of material properties of the acoustic damping layer in the low noise hydrophone designed in the previous paper. For increase of the insensitivity of the hydrophone to external noises, acoustic impedance and damping coefficients are selected and the effects of the selected material property on the hydrophone response to the external noises are simulated with finite element method (FEM). The results show that the damping coefficients are not influential to the structural vibration decoupling from the sensing element. On the other hand, the optimum acoustic impedance of compliant layer is estimated which is smaller than 1 Mrayl or larger than 4 Mrayl. However polymer materials, which are in general use for acoustic window and damping layers, is not appropriate for the compliant materials of this hydrophone. Therefore development of new composite materials, i.e. ceramic-polymer composite or metal-ceramic composites etc., is required for the development of effective self noise suppressing underwater hydrophones.

For automotive coating agents that require little change in characteristics due to changes in external temperature, changes in noise characteristics due to changes in the external environment are very important. Therefore, soft polyurethane with excellent cold resistance, weather resistance, and abrasion resistance, and polysiloxane whose -OH terminated and side chains are modified with amines, are widely used. In this study, coating agents was prepared by adding water-born polyurethane, polysiloxane, ultra high molecular weight polypropylene (UHMWPP) powder, carbon black, and a matting agent to determine the effect of each resin component on noise. To study the effect of each resin component on noise, a coating agent was prepared by adding water-born polyurethane, polysiloxane, UHMWPP powder, carbon black, and a matting agent. The hard/soft segment ratio of water-born polyurethane, the main component of the coating, was 27.1%/72.9%, and the ratio of amino siloxanes to hydroxy-terminated polysiloxane was 2:7, which produced the least noise. The difference in friction coefficient was large when the friction body moves at high speed. When UHMWPP powder replaced SiO₂, noise decreased and gloss also decreased.

Due to technological advances, the cruising speed of high-speed trains is increasing, and aerodynamic noise generated from the flow outside the train has been an important consideration in the design stage. To accurately predict the flow-induced noise, high-resolution generation of sound sources in the near field and low-dissipation of sound propagation in the far field are required. This should be accompanied by a numerical grid and time resolution that can properly consider both temporal and spatial scales for each component of the real high-speed train. To overcome these challenges, this research simultaneously calculates the external flow and acoustic fields of five high-speed train cars of real-scale and at operational running speeds using a threedimensional unsteady Large Eddy Simulation technique. To verify the numerical analysis, the measurements of the wall pressure fluctuation and numerical results are compared. The Ffowcs Williams and Hawking equation is used to predict the acoustic power radiated from the high-speed train. This research is expected to contribute to noise reduction based on the analysis of the aerodynamic noise generation mechanism of high-speed trains.

In an era where digital data takes on great importance, images are essential to various media. Noise is generated during the acquisition and transmission of such images, caused by a number of external factors. The removal of noise is an essential step in image processing. There are various methods used to remove noise, in accordance with the cause or form of the noise. AWGN is one of the leading methods. As such, this paper applies the edge detection method using the mean of each pixel after categorizing in detail the partial masks into nine areas as part of the preliminary process, in order to minimize noise that had been added to the image. In addition, the paper suggests an algorithm that applies different filters to the partial masks by using the critical mass value of the transfigured edge detection. To verify the competence of the suggested algorithm, it was compared with existing methods by using magnified images and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio).

Digital image processing is widely used in various fields including the military, medical, image recognition system, robot and commercial sectors. But in the process of acquiring and transmitting digital images, noise is generated by various external causes. There are various types of general noise depending on the cause and form, but AWGN and impulse noise is one of the leading methods. Removing noise during image processing is essential to the pre-treatment process such as segmentation, image recognition and characteristic extraction. As such, this paper suggests an algorithm that distinguishes the non-edge area and edge area using the Canny edge to apply different filters to different areas in order to effectively remove noise from the image. To verify the effectiveness of the suggested algorithm, it was compared against existing methods using zoom images, edge images and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio).

A novel structural damage detection method with a new damage index has been recently proposed by the authors based on the statistical moments of dynamic responses of shear building structures subject to white noise ground motion. The statistical moment-based damage detection (SMBDD) method is theoretically extended in this paper with general application. The generalized SMBDD method is more versatile and can identify damage locations and damage severities of many types of building structures under various external excitations. In particular, the incomplete measurements can be considered by the proposed method without mode shape expansion or model reduction. Various damage scenarios of two general forms of building structures with incomplete measurements are investigated in consideration of different excitations. The effects of measurement noise are also investigated. The damage locations and damage severities are correctly identified even when a high noise level of 15% and incomplete measurements are considered. The effectiveness and versatility of the generalized SMBDD method are demonstrated.

This paper presents a hybrid control algorithm for the active noise control in the rectangular enclosure using an active/passive foam actuator. The hybrid control composes of the adaptive feedforward with feedback loop in which the adaptive feedforward control uses the well-known filtered-x LMS(least mean square) algorithm and the feedback loop consists of the sliding mode controller and observer. The hybrid control has its robustness for both transient and persistent external disturbances and increases the convergence speed due to the reduced variance of the jiltered-x signal by adding the feedback loop. The sliding mode control (SMC) is used to incorporate insensitivity to parameter variations and rejection of disturbances and the observer is used to get the state information in the controller deign. An active/passive smart foam actuator is used to minimize noise actively using an embedded PVDF film driven by an electrical input and passively using an absorption-foam. The error path dynamics is experimentally identified in the form of the auto-regressive and moving-average using the frequency domain identification technique. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the hybrid control and the feasibility of the smart foam actuator.
