Human visual systems are sensitive to noise on the flat intensity area. But it becomes less sensitive on the edge area. Recently, many types of spatially adaptive image restoration methods have been proposed, which employ the above mentioned huan visual characteristics. The present paper presents an adaptive image restoration method, which increases sharpness of the edge region, and smooths noise on the flat intensity area. For edge detection, the proposed method uses the visibility function based on the local variance on each pixel. And it adaptively changes the regularization parameter. More specifically, the image to be restored is divided into a number of steps from the flat area to the edge regio, and then restored by using the finite impulse response constrained least squares filter.

The number of adders and critical paths in a multiplier block of a multiple constant multiplication based implementation of a finite impulse response (FIR) filter can be minimized through common subexpression elimination (CSE) techniques. A two-bit common subexpression (CS) can be located recursively in a noncanonic sign digit (CSD) representation of the filter coefficients. An efficient algorithm is presented in this paper to improve the elimination of a CS from the multiplier block of an FIR filter so that it can be realized with fewer adders and low logical depth as compared to the existing CSE methods in the literature. Vinod and others claimed the highest reduction in the number of logical operators (LOs) without increasing the logic depth (LD) requirement. Using the design examples given by Vinod and others, we compare the average reduction in LOs and LDs achieved by our algorithm. Our algorithm shows average LO improvements of 30.8%, 5.5%, and 22.5% with a comparative LD requirement over that of Vinod and others for three design examples. Improvement increases as the filter order increases, and for the highest filter order and lowest coefficient width, the LO improvements are 70.3%, 75.3%, and 72.2% for the three design examples.

This paper presents a 1.9-GHz digital ${{\Delta}{\Sigma}}$ fractional-N PLL with a finite impulse response (FIR) filter embedded for noise suppression. The proposed digital implementation of FIR provides a simple method of increasing the number of taps without complicated calculation for gain matching. This work demonstrates 32 tap FIR filtering for the first time and successfully filtered the in-band phase noise generated from delta-sigma modulator (DSM). Design considerations are also addressed to find the optimum number of taps when the resolution of time-to-digital converter (TDC) is given. The PLL, fabricated in $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS, achieves a well-regulated in-band phase noise of less than -100 dBc/Hz for the entire range inside the bandwidth of 3 MHz. Compared with the conventional dual-modulus division, the proposed PLL shows an overall noise suppression of about 15dB both at in-band and out-of-band region.

The wavelet transform is the most recent technique for processing signals with time-varying spectra. In this paper, the wavelet transform is utilized to improved the assessment and multi-resolution analysis of acoustic emission signals generating in partial discharge. This paper especially deals with the assessment of process statistical parameter using the features extracted from the wavelet coefficients of measured acoustic emission signals in case of applied voltage 20[kv]. Since the parameter assessment using all wavelet coefficients will often turn out leads to inefficient or inaccurate results, we selected that level-3 stage of multi decomposition in discrete wavelet transform. We applied FIR(Finite Impulse Response)digital filter algorithm in discrete to suppression for random noise. The white noise be included high frequency component denoised as decomposition of discrete wavelet transform level-3. We make use of the feature extraction parameter namely, maximum value of acoustic emission signal, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis, etc. The effectiveness of this new method has been verified on ability a diagnosis transformer go through feature extraction in stage of acting(the early period, the last period) .

This paper presents the effects of a virtual mass with a low-pass filter on the stability boundary of a virtual spring in the haptic system. In general, a haptic system consists of a haptic device, a sampler, a virtual impedance model and zero-order-hold. The virtual impedance is modeled as a virtual spring and a virtual mass. However the high-frequency noise due to the sampling time and the quantization error of sampled data may be generated when an acceleration is measured to compute the inertia force of the virtual mass. So a low-pass filter is needed to prevent the unstable behavior due to the high-frequency noise. A finite impulse response (FIR) filter is added to the measurement process of the acceleration and the effects on the haptic stability are simulated. According to the virtual mass with the FIR filter and the sampling time, the stability boundary of the virtual spring is analyzed through the simulation. The maximum available stiffness to guarantee the stable behavior is reduced, but simulation results still show that the stability boundary of the haptic system with the virtual mass is larger than that of the haptic system without the virtual mass.

In this paper, we discuss the design of the Digital Down Converters for the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN receiver, which can be used for the customized receiver. The customized receiver can be used for special puropsed services which cannot be realized using the general custom chip. In the OFDM receiver, DDC receives the up sampled Inphase/Quadrature signal from the AD converter and process down sampling and filtering procedures using the Cascaded Intergrator Filter and FIR filters. We discuss the structure and design methodology of DDC's and analyze the simulation results.

The on-board processor of satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) digitizes the back-scattered echoes and transmits them to the ground. As satellite SAR image of various operating conditions including broadband and high resolution is required, an enormous amount of SAR data is generated. Decimation filter is used for data compression to improve the transmission efficiency of these data. Decimation filter is implemented with the FIR(Finite Impulse Response) filter and here, the decimation ratio and tap length are constrained by resource requirements of FPGA used for implementation. This paper suggests to use a non-integer ratio decimation filter in order to optimize the data transmission efficiency. Also, it proposes a filter design method that remarkably reduces the resource constraints of the FPGA in-use via applying a polyphase filter structure. The required resources for implementing the proposed filter is analysed in this paper.

This paper presents an optimal implementation of a Daubechies-based pipelined discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) processor using finite impulse response (FIR) filter banks. The feed-forward pipelined (FFP) architecture is exploited for implementation of the DWPT on the field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed DWPT is based on an efficient transpose form structure, thereby reducing its computational complexity by half of the system. Moreover, the efficiency of the design is further improved by using a canonical-signed digit-based binary expression (CSDBE) and advanced functional sharing (AFS) methods. In this work, the AFS technique is proposed to optimize the convolution of FIR filter banks for DWPT decomposition, which reduces the hardware resource utilization by not requiring any embedded digital signal processing (DSP) blocks. The proposed AFS and CSDBE-based DWPT system is embedded on the Virtex-7 FPGA board for testing. The proposed design is implemented as an intellectual property (IP) logic core that can easily be integrated into DSP systems for sub-band analysis. The achieved results conclude that the proposed method is very efficient in improving hardware resource utilization while maintaining accuracy of the result of DWPT.
