Neutron Signal Denoising using Edge Preserving Kernel Regression Filter

A kernel regression filter with adaptive bandwidth is developed and successfully applied to digital reactivity meter for neutron signal measurement in nuclear reactors. The purpose of this work is not only reduction of the measurement noise but also the edge preservation of the reactivity signal. The performance of the filtering algorithm is demonstrated comparing with well known smoothing methods of conventional low-pass and bilateral filters. The developed method gives satisfactory filtering performance and edge preservation capability.
