This paper introduces effective noise removal method for medical ultrasound volume data. Ultrasound volume data need to be filtered because it has a lot of noise. Conventional 2d filtering methods ignore information of adjacent layers and conventional 3d filtering methods are slow or have simple filter that are not efficient for removing noise and also don't equally operate filtering because that don't take into account ultrasound' sampling character. To solve this problem, we introduce method that fast perform in parallel bilateral filtering that is known as good for noise removal and adjust proportionally window size depending on that's position. Experiments compare noise removal and loss of original data among average filtered or biliteral filtered or adaptive biliteral filtered ultrasound volume rendering images. In this way, we can more efficiently and correctly remove noise of ultrasound volume data.

During the transmission process of processing of image, various noises are added causing an error to the image. In order to restore these images, methods such as alpha trimmed average filter, standard median filter and switching median filter were proposed but such previous methods has insufficient noise suppression characteristics. Therefore in this paper, in order to remove the impulse noise added to the image, an adaptive median filter algorithm modified to expand the mask according to the noise density of mask pixels was proposed.

일반적으로, RGB 영상의 높은 주파수 영역은 잡음으로 인해 색평면 간 서로 낮은 상관도를 가지고 있기 때문에 이러한 고주파수 성분은 색평면 간 예측의 효율을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 RGB 비디오 코딩에서 색평면 간 예측의 효율을 높이기 위해 기저 색평면을 적응적으로 필터링 하는 방법을 제안한다. 색평면 간 상관도에 따라 적응적으로 기저 색평면을 필터링함으로써 색평면 간 예측 성능을 높일 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 알고리즘을 통해 우리는 H.264/AVC High 4:4:4 Intra Profile에 비해 평균 14.71%의 비트율 감소와 0.93dB의 PSNR 향상 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study proposed a design of a portable device for measuring heart rate using photoplethysmograph signal to minimize load of a nurse increased from insufficiency of an internal hospital nurse, and algorithm to measure reliable heart rate in PPG signals despite the existence of patient's motion artifacts. The proposed method for measuring heart rate is the method to minimize the motion interference by using the adaptive filter based on harmonic characteristic of PPG signal. To evaluate the performances of the a portable device implemented by the proposed method, we used several motion artifacts including finger and wrist movements; we then compared out results with the performance of the moving average filter. In this results, the proposed method showed a better performance than that of the moving average filter. Therefore, when nurses use the a portable device for measuring heart rate proposed in this study, it will enable to improve nurse work and to measure the reliable heart rate.

본 논문에서는 적응적 이진화 기법을 적용하여 흠집 영역을 검출한다. 제안된 방법은 안경 렌즈 영상에서 명암 대비를 적용하여 렌즈의 명암을 강조한다. 명암이 강조된 영상에서 렌즈 밖의 배경 영역은 흠집 검출에 불필요하므로 개선된 평균 이진화 기법을 적용한 후에 렌즈의 윤곽선을 검출하여 렌즈 이외의 배경을 제거한다. 렌즈 이외의 배경이 제거된 렌즈 영상에서 렌즈 내부에 명암대비를 적용하여 렌즈 내부의 배경과 흠집의 명암을 강조한다. 명암이 강조된 렌즈 내부 영역에서 적응적 이진화 기법을 적용하여 흠집과 잡음을 검출한다. 잡음은 중간값 필터를 적용하여 제거한 후에 흠집 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 흠집 영역을 렌즈의 중심으로부터의 거리와 흠집의 크기를 퍼지 추론 규칙을 적용하여 눈에 미치는 영향 정도를 분석한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법의 성능을 분석하기 위해 CHEMI, MID, HL, HM과 같은 시력 보정용 렌즈 영상 6장을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존 렌즈 흠집 추출 방법보다 흠집 영역이 정확하게 추출되었고 눈에 미치는 영향을 효과적으로 분석할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the realization of a hearing aid adaptively cancelling feedback noise was considered. Conventional least mean square method in time domain was transformed into frequency domain in order to minimize computational burden. The adaptive filter algorithm was evaluated by Matlab (Matrix laboratory), and it was confirmed by CSR 8675 Bluetooth DSP IC (Digital Signal Processor Integrated Circuit) chip firmware realization. Some remote control features by a smart phone was added to the smart hearing aid for user interface easiness.

In this paper, the parallel sub-filter searching structure to be adapted that divides a filter into several sub filters and the parameter decision technique to control adaptive parameters with power of received signal in the code acquisition system using adaptive filter are proposed. The numerical results for the system probabilities are derived that the code acquisition system using parallel sub-filter searching structure is statistically analyzed. Also, characteristic of the parameters in adaptive code acquisition system is analyzed by simulations and the parameter decision technique through SNRc estimation is explained. The system with parallel sub-filter searching structure outperforms by 1∼l.5 dB for 16 taps, 5∼6 dB for 64 taps. And the system with parameter decision technique works efficiently with the reasonable degree of degradation about 1 ∼2.5dB for 16 and 32 taps.

This paper presents a convergence analysis of the stocastic gradient adaptive algorithm based on the least mean absolute third (LMAT) error criteriohn. Under the assumption that the signals involved are zero-mean, wide-sense sateionaryand gaussian, a set of nonlinear difference equations that characterizes the mean and mean-squared behavior of the algorithm is derived. Computer simulation resutls show fairly good agreements between the theoetical and empirical behaviors of the algorithm.

In the sigma filter, there is a specialized neighbours distribution scheme in which the sigma value is computed from local statistics. It is designed to modify a standard average filter to preserve edges. However this filter is vulnerable to details-enhancement and conventional sigma approaches have been focused on denoising, not enhancing the characteristic area. This paper proposes an adaptive image enhancement algorithm using local statistics and functional synthesis which are utilized for adaptive realization of the enhancement, so that not only image noise may be smoothed but also details may be enhanced. For the local adaptation, parameters are estimated and weighted at each moving window that satisfy the criteria. The experimental results illuminates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a real time post-processing visual enhancement technique to reduce the blocking artifacts in block based DCT decoded image for mobile devices that have allocation of the restricted resource. In order to reduce the blocking artifacts effectively even while preserving the image edge to the utmost, the proposed algorithm uses the deblocking filtering or the directional filtering according to the edge detection of the each pixel. After it is discriminated that the pixel to apply the deblocking filtering belongs again to the monotonous area, the weighted average filter with the adaptive mask is applied for the pixel to remove the blocking artifacts. On the other hand, a new directional filter is utilized to get rid of staircase noise and preserve the original edge component. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm produces better results than those of the conventional algorithms in both subjective and objective qualities.
