This paper proposes the use of an adaptive Wiener filter for edge-preserving image filtering. Images are partitioned into a set of blocks of pixels which is divided into five subsets of blocks according to their edge contents and orientations. Each subset of blocks is used to define a covariance matrix, from which a Wiener filter is derived. Five covariance matrices and Wiener filters are thus obtained. An image-block classifier using the five sets of covariance matrices of the class is designed to classify each incoming block of pixels according to its edge content in the presence of noise. Experimental results are included to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we suggest a approach which comprises fast Fourier transform inversion by wavelet noise attenuation. It represents an inverse filtering by adopting a factor into the Wiener filtering, and the optimal factor is chosen to minimize the overall mean squared error. in order to apply the Wiener filter, we have to compute the power spectrum of original image from the corrupted figure. Since the Wiener filtering contains the inverse filtering process, it expands the noise when the blurring filter is not invertible. To remove the large noises, the best is to remove the noise using wavelet threshold. Wavelet noise attenuation steps are consisted of inverse filtering and noise reduction by Wavelet functions. experimental results have not outperformed the other methods over the overall restoration performance.

Image is degraded by several causes such as the process of acquisition, storage and transmission. To restore those images, many researches have been continued. Centrally methods to restore degraded image by AWGN(additive white gaussian noise) a.e mean filter and wiener filter. Especially, mean filter is superior in noise reduction of area that is a small change of luminosity. But mean filter brings about the effect smoothing edge components of the image, because it does'nt consider characteristics of the image. So in this paper we propose an image restoration method compounding respective images adding established weights, after filtering with mean filter and powerful wiener filter in both improvement of contrast and preservation of edge components.

We present a method to improve the performance of the multi-channel Wiener filter in noisy environment. To build subspace-based multi-channel Wiener filter, in the case of single target source, the target speech component can be effectively estimated in the principal subspace of speech correlation matrix. The speech correlation matrix can be estimated by subtracting noise correlation matrix from signal correlation matrix based on the assumption that the cross-correlation between speech and interfering noise is negligible compared with speech correlation. However, this assumption is not valid in the presence of strong interfering noise and significant error can be induced in the principal subspace accordingly. In this paper, we propose to adjust the principal subspace vector using speech presence probability and the steering vector for the desired speech source. The multi-channel speech presence probability is derived in the principal subspace and applied to adjust the principal subspace vector. Simulation results show that the proposed method improves the performance of multi-channel Wiener filter in noisy environment.

본 논문에서는 서로 다른 데이터 율 신호들의 다중 접속 간섭을 제거하기 위해 그룹형 하이브리드 위너 필터링 간섭 제거 기법(Group-wise Hybrid Interference Cancellation scheme based on Wiener filtering : GHICW)을 제안하고 AWGN 채널과 레일리 페이딩 채널환경에서 그 성능을 상용검파기와 비교 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 수신 기법은 동일 데이터 율을 가진 사용자를 그룹으로 묶어 처리함으로써 기존의 간섭제거 시스템보다 시스템 처리 지연이 적고, 하드웨어 구현이 간단하며, 큰 전력으로 전송되는 높은 데이터 율 사용자의 신호들을 위너 필터를 이용해 재생하여 낮은 데이터 율 사용자와 높은 데이터 율 사용자의 수신 성능을 향상시킨다.

칼만/위너 필터 같은 기존의 음성향상 알고리즘은 잡음의 선험적 지식을 요구하고, 음성신호와 추정신호의 오차분산을 최소화하는데 중점을 두었다. 따라서, 잡음에 대한 통계적 추정에 오류가 있을 경우 결과에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 그러나 $H_\infty$ 필터는 잡음에 대한 어떠한 가정이나 선험적 지식을 요구하지 않는다. $H_\infty$ 필터는 최소상계(Upper Bound Least)를 적용하여 추정된 모든 신호들로부터 최소 에러 신호를 갖는 최상의 추정신호를 찾아내므로 칼만/위너 필터보다 잡음의 변화에 강인하다. 본 논문에서는 학습 신호로부터 은닉 마코프 모델의 파리미터를 추정한 후, 오염된 신호를 고정된 개수의 $H_\infty$ 필터를 통과시켜 각 출력에 가중된 합으로 향상된 음성 신호를 구한다. 음성의 통계적 특성을 이용하여 모델 파라미터를 추정하는 은닉 마코프 모델과 잡음의 변화에 강인한 $H_\infty$ 알고리즘을 사용해서, 다중 $H_\infty$필터에 의한 강인한 음성향상 방법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, we propose the iterative receiver for LDPC-coded OFDMA systems in uplink environments. Applying the Wiener filtering to pilot symbols, an initial channel estimation can be performed effectively. To reduce the complexity of the Wiener filtering, we approximate Wiener filtering coefficients to pre-determined coefficients according to estimated correlation of channel. After an LDPC decoding process, soft symbol derived by extrinsic information of decoder outputs is used to estimate channel. we also derive the error variance of channel estimation and maximum ratio combined results. Using combined results, the channel correlation is re-estimated. Then the proper Wiener filtering coefficients are chosen according to the re-estimated result of the channel correction. Using a computer simulation, we show that the proposed receiver structure has the better performance than the receiver using only pilot symbols.

When we apply the spectrally efficient quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM) to mobile communications, it is necessary to estimate and compensate the channel charac- teristics. In this paper, a new type fading estimation method for PSAM using sinc function is presented. Gaussian interpolation method has a drawback that the performance degrades rapidly if pilot symbol period increases even though pilot sysbol period is less than Nyquist sampling rate. The Wiener filter method does not degrade until pilot symbol period is equal to the Nyquist sampling rate. It is difficult for Wiener filter method to be applied to real system because autocorrelation function of channel gain, Doppler frequency and SNR(signal to noise ratio) must be known to optimize the filter coefficients. But proposed method has a similar performance to the Wiener filter method, and does not need to know the autocorrelation function of channel gain, the doppler frequency and SNR. Therefore the proposed method cna be applied to real system easily.
