The Satellite Electro-Optic Payload System needsspecial requirements with the conditions of limited power consumption and the space environment of solar radiation. The acquired image quality should be mainly depend on the GSD (Ground Sampled Distance), SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), and MTF (Modulation Transfer Function). On the well-manufactured sensor level, the thermal noise is removed on ASP (Analog Signal Processing) using the CDS (Corrective Double Sampling); the noise signal from the image sensor can be reduced from the offset signals based on the pre-pixels and the dark-pixels. The non-uniformity shall be corrected with gain, offset, and correction parameter of the image sensor pixel characteristic on the sensor control system. This paper describes the SNR enhancement method of the satellite EOS payload using the mentioned noise remove processes on the system design and operation, which is verified by tests and simulations.

In thls paper, the representative beal textraction algorIthms for the diagnostic parameter extraction in noisy signal were compared. We used the avernge, median, mode, and trmmed mean to calculale the central tendency. In our experimenl, we have restricted to four kinds of noises -EMG noise, 60Hz powerline inlerference, ahrupl baseline shift, and baselme drift due to respimtion-which were commonly occurred in ECG mgnal, then we have calculated signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs) for the ECG corrupted with each noise and all noises together. As the result of this paper, we have proved that the average method has super lor performance than the others in the ECG corrupted wilh EMG noise. When the signal mcludes extreme value such as abrupt baseline shIft, the median, mode, trimmed mean methods have supenor performance in the SNR ratios. Especially when the ECG corrupted with baseline drift due to respirallon, the trimmed mean method was most efficient because ST level change was 0 V.

원자로 내부구조물의 진동감시를 위한 신호로 노외 중성자 잡음을 선정하고 중성자 잡음에 실려 있는 진동모우드 성분을 신호간의 위상차에 근거하여 분리하는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 계산속도가 빠르고 3개 이상의 신호에도 적용할 수 있다. 제안한 방법을 토대로 울진 1호기의 노외 중성자 잡음 신호를 채취, 분석하여 내부구조물의 진동특성을 밝히고 진동 감시의 대상이 되는 진동모우드를 분리하므로써 방법의 효율성을 검증하였다. 또 한 핵연료주기동안 주기적으로 신호를 채취, 분석하여 중성자 잡음신호의 특성이 한 핵주기동안 점차 증가하는 경향을 갖는다는 것을 밝혔다.

고차 통계 방법을 이용하여 잡음이 섞인 음성 신호에서 피치를 구하는 방법과 이를 이용하여 유성음 및 무성음 구간을 구분하는 방법을 구현하고 그 결과를 기술하였다. 고차 통계의 일종인 3차 cumulant 함수의 경우 Gaussian 또는 대칭적인 분포를 갖는 잡음 신호를 음성신호로부터 효과적으로 분리하여 제거시키는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 특징을 이용하면 잡음 환경에서 여러 가지 음성 특징 파라메터들을 보다 신뢰도 높게 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 dam성 신호의 3차 cumulant 함수의 자기상관함수로부터 음성의 피치 주기를 추정하였으며, 피치 위치에서의 normalized peak 크기에 의해 유성음과 무성음을 구분하였다. 또한 성능 비교를 위해 음성 신호 자체의 자기 상관 함수로부터 역시 피치 주기 및 유성음/무성음 구분을 수행하였다. 백색 및 유색 Gaussian 잡음 환경에서의 음성의 피치 주기 추정 실험 결과 SNR가 낮은 경우에 3차 cumulant를 이용한 방법이 2차 통계에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 또한 동일한 잡음 환경에서의 유성음/무성음 판별 시험에서도 3차 cumulant를 이용한 방법이 기존의 2차 통계를 이용한 방법에 비해 성능이 크게 향상된 결과를 얻었다.

Monitoring sediment flux is crucial especially for maintaining river systems to understand morphological behaviors. Recently, hydroacoustic backscatter (or SNR) as a surrogate to empirically estimate suspended sediment concentration has been increasingly highlighted for more efficient acquisition of sediment dataset, which is difficult throughout direct sediment sampling. However, relevant contemporary researches have focused on wide range solution applicable for large natural rivers where H-ADCPs with relatively low acoustic frequency have been widely utilized to seamlessly measure streamflow discharge. In this regard, this study aimed at investigating hydroacoustical characteristics based on a very recently released H-ADCP (SonTek SL-3000) with high acoustic frequency of 3 MHz in order to capitalize its capacity to be applied for suspended sediment monitoring in laboratory conditions. SL-3000 was tested in a laboratory flume to collect SNR in conjunction with LISST-100X for actual sediment concentration and particle distribution in both sand and silt sediment injection in various amount. Conventional algorithms to correct signal attenuations for water and sediment were carefully tested to validate whether they can be applied for SL-3000. As result of analyzing the SNR-SSC correlation trand, through further study in the future, it is confirmed that SSC can be observed indirectly by using the SNR.

In this paper, we developed and implemented the geological magnetic filter for the improvements of the signal to noise ratio of the magnetic detection system. Using the geological magnetic filter, we can remove the coherent noises in the time domain and improve the signal to noise ratio of the magnetic detection system. 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. We confirmed that the geological magnetic filter improved the signal to noise ratio about 19dB and deleted the coherent noises with restoring the source magnetic signal through experiments by implemented system.

This paper first proposes a classification algorithm which detects a voiced, unvoiced, and silence signal using distance measure, logarithm power and root mean square methods at each frame, then a spectrum subtraction algorithm based on a subband filter. The proposed algorithm subtracts spectrums of white noise and street noise from noisy signal based on the subband filter at each frame. In this experiment, experimental results of the proposed spectrum subtraction algorithm demonstrate using the speech and noise data of Aurora-2 database. Based on measuring the speech-to-noise ratio (SNR), experiments confirm that the proposed algorithm is effective for the speech by contaminated the noise. From the experiments, the improvement in the output SNR values was approximately 2.1 dB and 1.91 dB better for white noise and street noise, respectively.

This paper proposes an improved do-noising method using multi-thresholding function based on translation-invariant (W) wavelet proposed by Donoho et al. for underwater radiated noise measurement. The traditional wavelet thresholding de-noising method causes Pseudo-Gibbs phenomena near singularities due to discrete wavelet transform. In order to suppress Pseudo-Gibbs Phenomena, a do-noising method combining multi-thresholding function with the translation-invariant wavelet transform is proposed in this paper. The multi-thresholding function is a modified soft-thresholding to each node according to the discriminated threshold so as to reject かon external noise and white gaussian noise. It is verified by numerical simulation. And the experimental results are confirmed through sea-trial using multi-single sensors.

Multiplicative noise is known to be useful in modeling multipath propagation, which is crucial in mobile communication systems analysis. In this paper, nonparametric detection of weak random signals in multiplicative noise is considered. The locally optimum detector based on signs and ranks of observations isderived for good weak-signal detection performance under any noise probability density function. the detector has similarities to the locally optimum detector for random signals in multiplicative noise. It is shown that the nonparametric detector asymptotically hs almost the same performance as the locally optimum detector.

We investigate the signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of time-domain (i.e. pulsed illumination) and frequency-domain (i.e. chirped illumination) photoacoustic signals measured by a spherically focused ultrasound transducer for spherical absorbers. The simulation results show that the time-domain photoacoustic SNR is higher than that of frequency-domain photoacoustic signals, as reported in the previous literature. We understand the reason for this SNR gap between the two measurement modes by analyzing photoacoustic-signal spectra, considering the incident beam energy controlled by the maximum permissible exposure. As the result of this approach, we find that filtering off the DC term in the chirped signal's spectrum improves frequency-domain photoacoustic SNRs by up to approximately 5 dB. In particular, it is observed that photoacoustic SNRs are highly sensitive to an upper-frequency value of frequency filtering functions, and the optimal upper-frequency values maximizing the SNR are different in time- and frequency-domain photoacoustic measurements.
