In this paper, we propose a noise estimation method for noise reduction. It is based on block and pixel-based noise estimation. We assume that an input image is contaminated by the additive white Gaussian noise. Thus, we use an adaptive Gaussian filter and estimate the amount of noise. It computes the standard deviation of each block and estimation is performed on pixel-based operation. The proposed algorithm divides an input image into blocks. This method calculates the standard deviation of each block and finds the minimum standard deviation block. The block in flat region shows well noise and filtering effects. Blocks which have similar standard deviation are selected as test blocks. These pixels are filtered by adaptive Gaussian filtering. Then, the amount of noise is calculated by the standard deviation of the differences between noisy and filtered blocks. Experimental results show that our proposed estimation method has better results than those by existing estimation methods.

Salt and pepper is a type of impulse noise. It may appear due to an error in the image transmission process and image storage memory. This noise changes the pixel value at any position in the image to 0 (in case of pepper noise) or 255 (in case of salt noise). In this paper, we present an algorithm for SAP noise reduction. The proposed method consists of three steps. In the first step, the location of the SAP noise is detected, and in the second step, the pixel value of the detected location is restored using a weighted average of the surrounding pixel values. In the last step, a reliability matrix around the reconstructed pixels is constructed, and additional correction is performed with a weighted average using this. As a result of the experiment, the proposed method appears to have similar or higher objective and subjective image quality than previous methods for almost all SAP noise ratios.

The Commission for Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is utilized to manage krill resources using acoustic data collection and a scientific observer program operating on the fishing boats. However, the acoustic data were contained seriously noise, example of background, spike, and intermittent noise, due to purpose of fish boats. In this study, the noise removal techniques were confirmed the potential of the acoustic data analysis. Acoustic system and frequency used in the survey were commercial echosounder (ES70, SIMRAD) and 200 kHz split beam transducer. Acoustic data were analyzed using Echoview software (Myriax), and general data analysis and new noise removal method was used. Although a variety of noise, most of the noises have been removed using the noise removal processing. We confirmed the possibility of analyzing the acoustic data obtained from fish boats. The results will be useful for analysis of the acoustic data acquired from krill fishing boats.

Recently, many people have been damaged seriously by construction noise. Accordingly, there have been increased the complaints and disputes. These complaints should be controlled strictly. Otherwise there could be delays or stops of project and losses of time and money. For this reasons, the Korean government is trying to convert from depending on the soundproof wall to noise control system focusing on noise sources. However, it is difficult to control the noise which is generated from construction site because construction equipment has very high noise level and construction noise generates temporarily and irregularly. Also, people do not know how much low frequency affect human body adversely because they cannot perceive low frequency noise easily. Hence, recently developed countries have conducted the research on the low frequency noise which damages on human physically and mentally. However, passive noise control is insufficient to reduce the low frequency noise, but only efficient to lower the high frequency noise. Thus, an approach which can complement limitations of passive noise control is needed. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to suggest the noise management model using active noise control on construction site. Also, ANC simulation has been conducted to examine its applicability on construction equipment. As a result, it is expected that there will be a reduction of construction noise and demages, as well as both mental and physical damages.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to propose a standard form of noise filter drawing, which is widely used in the field of weapon systems, to define the essential specification which is not standardized at the existing drawings and to employ the reference for manufacturing and qualification test. Methods: To do that, it identifies the improvements to analyze 19 noise filter drawings, studies the principle of noise filtering to find the essential part of the spec. and reviews the MIL-STD-220C and KS IEC 60939, which is the widely used as a formal spec. pertaining to the noise filter. Throughout the study, a standard form is developed to standardize the attenuation characteristics and find eight crucial metrics to specify the noise filter. Results: The results of this study are as follows; The standardized drawings can be used as the qualification test of the item and the manufacturing and engineering documents to make the noise filter, which are also applicable to the reference document to review KDS(Korea Defense Standard) drawings.

Two extreme and one mixed procedures for designing a noise hazard prevention program are discussed in this paper. The two extreme design procedures (engineering-based and HPD-based) yield upper and lower bounds of the total noise control cost, respectively; while the mixed design procedure provides an optimal noise hazard prevention program within a given total budget. The upper bound of the workforce size for job rotation is approximated using a heuristic procedure. Six optimization models are developed and utilized by the mixed procedure to eliminate or reduce excessive noise levels (or noise exposures) in an industrial workplace. The mixed procedure also follows the OSHA’s hierarchy of noise control. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the application of the proposed design procedures.

Because salt and pepper noise is a type of impulse, even a small amount of noise could cause a large image degradation. In this paper, we proposed a salt-and-pepper noise removal method using the convolutional neural network. It consists of four phases. In the first step, the proposed method reconstructs noisy image using a traditional salt-and-pepper noise reduction method, and in the second step, the result image of previous step is filtered with Gaussian low pass filter. After that, we reconstruct the filtered image using convolution neural network. In the last step, the pixels with salt-and-pepper noise are replaced with the result of previous phase. Simulation results show that the proposed method yields not only objective image qualities(PSNR, SSIM) but also subjective image qualities for all SAP noise ratios.

In this note, we deal with a design problem for determining the levels of noise factors in the Taguchi method. Recently, Ree(2009) proposed a new method to determine the levels of noise factors that is dependent on the distribution of the noise factors. We discuss the original suggestion from Taguchi method, propose a way to compare the two methods and investigate the performance(mean square error) of two proposals by examples.

Analog cassette tapes are easily changed due to environmental factors. To digitize is the best way to preserve a sound source. The way to digitize is to deal with the original sound to be enhanced to a variety of sources by playing through the audio card after recording. In this process to occur, it's the most important to remove various noise and equalizing sound in a method for preserving. It's studied about how to remove noise by using one of softwares, Cubase 5. 5, to remove hiss noise, which happens changing analog tape into digitalization. A amount of hiss noise is reduced to use X-Noise software of Wave which uses in Cubase 5.0, one of PLUG-IN. The noise is removed changing value of threshold and reduction every 10 times in no change of origin sound. To keep regular condition, the experiment to remove the hiss noise is conducted based on sound meondle, which is one of sound Nonmaegi. The noise is removed easily when the value of threshold is getting high in spite of giving a little value of reduction. However, as it gives a amount of reduction high, the damage rate of the sound source gets high.
