The paper presents a fuzzy based impulse noise filter for both gray scale and color images. The proposed approach is based on the technique of boundary discriminative noise detection. The algorithm is a multi-step process comprising detection, filtering and color correction stages. The detection procedure classifies the pixels as corrupted and uncorrupted by computing decision boundaries, which are fuzzified to improve the outputs obtained. In the case of color images, a correction term is added by examining the interactions between the color components for further improvement. Quantitative and qualitative analysis, performed on standard gray scale and color image, shows improved performance of the proposed technique over existing state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and color difference metrics. The analysis proves the applicability of the proposed algorithm to random valued impulse noise.

The ultrasonic images are corrupted by the granular pattern noise - a speckle noise. The speckle exist in the type of coherent imaging systems, and the speckle is the signal independent and multiplicative noise. In this paepr, we derive two filters using the gradient and symmetry. One is a noise suppression filter which removes noise while preserves the edges. It is named the ASRF-GS (Adaptive Speckle Removal Filer - Gradient and Symmetry). And the other is a edge detection filter which obtains the thin edge map, called the EDUGS(Edge Detection Using Gradient and Symmetry). The performance of the proposed noise suppression filter is evaluated by the IMPV(SNR improvement) and the Speckle Index(SI), and the perforamnce of the edge detection is evaluated by the edge detection error rate. According to the evaluated method, The SI reduced about 0.035, The IMPV improved about 1.265(dB), and the edge detection error rate is about 17.5%.

The statistics for the Gaussian noise mixed with impulsive noise are modelled. The denoising algorithm called amplitude-limited sample average filter is derived, which is optimal in terms of minimizing mean square errors under the assumption that contaminating noise is heavy-tailed Gaussian distributed. Its performance is shown to be excellent when image is corrupted mainly with Gaussian noise. However, it shows visually grainy output as the amount of impulsive noise increases. In order to overcome such problems, it is combined with the myriad filter to propose an amplitude-limited myriad filter. Simulation shows it effectively removes both Gaussian and impulsive noise, not blurring edges severey.

In this paper, we present a new impulsive noise detection technique. To remove the impulse noise without detail loss, only corrupted pixels must be filtered. In order to identify the corrupted pixels, a new impulse detector based on rank and value estimations of the current pixel is proposed. Based on the rank and value estimations of the current pixel, the new proposed method provides excellent statistics for detecting an impulse noise while reducing the probability of detecting image details as impulses. The proposed detection is efficient and can be used with any noise removal filter. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms many other well-known detection techniques in terms of image restoration and noise detection.

This study is to describe the effects of the duct termination conditions conditions upon the active noise attenuation system. The adaptive filtering algorithm using FIR filter is implemented for duct noise attenuation. To avoid the instability caused by the acoustic feedback, two methods are considered. One is to use a compensating FIR filter. The other is to utilize uni-directional detecting microphone and uni-directional control speaker. Experimental results show that the reflections of sound from duct terminations greatly reduce the performance of ANC system. The directionality of detecting microphone and control speaker is a major factor to decide ANC performance. When there are some reflections from both duct terminations, the noise attenuation using finite FIR filter is not enough to model the duct plant. Especially, the reflection from the upstream termination reduces the noise attenuation in the frequencies related to the distance between control speaker and upstream termination. The performance of the noise attenuation is found to be largely enhanced by using uni-directional coupler, both on detecting microphone and control speaker, even if the duct system has an arbitrary termination conditions.

This paper deals with the design criteria and conduction noise reduction of electronic ballast system which is based on half-bridge series inverters. The system is theoretically analyzed in six modes and operating frequency range is selected to obtain the high efficacy and no sound noise. It is proposed the criteria for determining the values of L and C which are the dey points in system design Because of high operating frequency, electromagnetic noise, especially conduction noise, is a serious problem in electronic ballasts. To reduce the conduction noise, the operation and attenuation characteristics of noise filter are analyzed and the method to determine the values of filter elements is proposed. Also, the parasitic components of the inductor and capacitor are taken into consideration in filter analysis. Digital simulations and experiments are carried out to prove the theoretical results. And perfor mances of the system are verified through tests.

In this paper we present a generalized directional morphological filtering algorithm for the removal of impulse noise, which is based on a combination of impulse noise detection and a weighted rank-order morphological filtering technique. For salt (or pepper) noise suppression, the generalized directional opening (or closing) filtering of the input signal is selectively used. The detection of impulse noise can be done by the geometrical difference of opening and closing filtering. Simulations show that this new filter has better detail feature preservation with effective noise reduction compared to other nonlinear filtering techniques.

시간영역 필터와 공간영역 필터를 연결한 움직임 적응적 동영상 잡음 제거기법을 제안한다. 움직임 적응적 시간영역 필터에서는 전처리 공간영역 필터를 활용하여 잡음에 강인한 움직임 검출을 수행하고, 움직임의 양에 따라 적응적으로 필터링 강도를 조절한다. 동영상에 내재된 시간적 연관성을 충분히 활용하기 위해, 잡음이 있는 입력 영상은 시간영역 필터에 의해 처음으로 처리된다. 따라서 시간적 연관성이 큰 동영상에서, 영상의 세밀한 부분을 잘 보존하며 잡음을 제거할 수 있다. 움직임 검출을 위해 사용되는 전처리 공간영역 필터와는 다르게, 후처리 공간영역 필터는 시간영역 필터의 강도와 전처리 공간영역 필터에서 얻어진 공간영역 자기유사성 탐색 결과를 바탕으로 공간영역 필터링을 수행한다.

본 논문에서는 합성곱 신경망(Convolutional Neural Network, CNN) 구조를 이용하여 잡음 환경에서 음향신호를 분류할 때, 인식률을 높이는 결합 특징을 제안한다. 반면, Wiener filter를 이용한 강인한 log Mel-filter bank와 PNCCs(Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients)는 CNN 구조의 입력으로 사용되는 2차원 특징을 형성하기 위해 추출됐다. 자연환경에서 43종의 조류 울음소리를 포함한 ebird 데이터베이스는 분류 실험을 위해 사용됐다. 잡음 환경에서 결합 특징의 성능을 평가하기 위해 ebird 데이터베이스를 3종류의 잡음을 이용하여 4개의 다른 SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)(20 dB, 10 dB, 5 dB, 0 dB)로 합성했다. 결합 특징은 Wiener filter를 적용한 log-Mel filter bank, 적용하지 않은 log-Mel filter bank, 그리고 PNCC와 성능을 비교했다. 결합 특징은 잡음이 없는 환경에서 1.34 % 인식률 향상으로 다른 특징에 비해 높은 성능을 보였다. 추가적으로, 4단계 SNR의 잡음 환경에서 인식률은 shop 잡음 환경과 schoolyard 잡음 환경에서 각각 1.06 %, 0.65 % 향상했다.
