The performances of previous edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt, and LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) are insufficient for images degraded in AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise). Therefore, in this paper, we proposed an edge detection algorithm using a modified coefficient masks with gradient masks and distance weight mask. In order to confirm and verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, we simulated and compared proposed algorithm to conventional methods on various standard images added AWGN with a standard deviation ${\sigma}$=15, 30 and proposed algorithm shows superior edge detection characteristics in processed images.

Edge in images appears when a great difference shows up in light and shade between pixels and includes data of the subject's size, location direction and etc. The edge is generally detected by the methods such as Sobel, Roberts, Laplacian, LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) and etc. However, in AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) added images, quality of the edge becomes slightly uncertain. Therefore, this paper proposed edge detection algorithm using modified mask of weighting to improve the quality of the existing methods. And in order to verify the performance efficiency of the proposed method, processed image and PFOM(Pratt's figure of merit) has been used as valuation standard for a comparison with the existing methods.

This paper shows the initial results of a study applying deep learning technology in power line communication. In this paper, we propose a system that effectively removes noise by applying a deep learning technique to eliminate noise, which is a cause of reduced power line communication performance, by adding a deep learning model at the receive part. To train the deep learning model, it is necessary to store the data. Therefore, it is assumed that the existing data is stored, and the proposed system is simulated. we compare the theoretical result of the additive white Gaussian noise channel with the bit error rate and confirm that the proposed system model improves the communication performance by removing the noise.

In modern society, with the development of IoT technology, various digital equipment is being distributed in a wide range of fields such as CCTV and exploration robots. Accordingly, the importance of data processing is increasing, and various studies are being conducted to remove noise generated in the process of receiving data in the imaging field. Representative noise includes additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), and existing filters for removing noise include an average filter (AF), an alpha trimmed average filter (A-TAF), and a median filter (MF). However, existing filters have a disadvantage in that they show somewhat insufficient performance in noise removal characteristics in high frequency areas. Therefore, in this paper, in order to effectively remove AWGN existing in the high frequency region, a weight filter according to a distance based on the standard deviation is proposed.

Recently, demand for digital image processing devices increases rapidly, more clear images have been required. But, in the process of digital image acquisition, processing and transmission, image degradation occurs due to various external reasons and researches about noise reduction are on the rise. Therefore, this study suggested the algorithm to process AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) by separately processing as three levels according to the pixel distribution in the mask in order to remove AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) which is added in the image. Regarding the processed results by applying Barbara images which were damaged by AWGN(σ = 15), suggested algorithm showed the improvement by 2.87[dB], 2.95[dB], 2.88[dB], 1.52[dB], 1.49[dB], 1.58[dB] and 1.25[dB] respectively compared with the existing MF(5 × 5), A-TMF(5 × 5), AWMF(5 × 5), MF(3 × 3), A-TMF(3 × 3), AWMF(3 × 3), GF(5 × 5).

The fifth generation (5G) mobile communication has been commercialized and the 5G applications, such as the artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT), are deployed all over the world. The 5G new radio (NR) wireless networks are characterized by 100 times more traffic, 1000 times higher system capacity, and 1 ms latency. One of the promising 5G technologies is non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA). In order for the NOMA performance to be improved, sometimes the additive signal-dependent Gaussian noise (ASDGN) channel model is required. However, the channel capacity calculation of such channels is so difficult, that only lower and upper bounds on the capacity of ASDGN channels have been presented. Such difficulties are due to the specific constraints on the dependency. Herein, we provide the capacity of ASDGN channels, by removing the constraints except the dependency. Then we obtain the ASDGN channel capacity, not lower and upper bounds, so that the clear impact of ASDGN can be clarified, compared to additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). It is shown that the ASDGN channel capacity is greater than the AWGN channel capacity, for the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We also apply the analytical results to the NOMA scheme to verify the superiority of ASDGN channels.

This paper is a sequel of the Part I paper[1] on the modified digital Costas loop. In this Part II we analyze the performance of the system in the presence of noise. It is shown that, when the input signal is corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise, the noise process in the loop becomes Rician as a result of the tan-1 (.) function of the phase error detector. Steady state probability density functions of phase errors of the first-and second-order loops have been obtained by solving the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation numerically. Also, the mean and variance of phase error in the steady state have been obtained analytically, and are compared with the results obtained by computer simulation.

Nowadays, the high quality of image is required with the demand for digital image processing devices is rapidly increasing. But image always damaged by many kinds of noises and it is necessary to remove noise and the denoising becomes one of the most important fields. In many cases image is corrupted by AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise). In this paper, we proposed an improved denoising algorithm with edge preservation. The proposed algorithm averages values processed by spatial weighted filter and self adaptive weighted filter. Then we add the value which is computed by the equation considering variance of mask and the estimated noise variance. Through the experience, the proposed filter performs well on noise suppression and edge preservation properties and improves the image visual quality.

Recently, the image processing is utilized in various fields and many studies on the image restoration have been carried out in order to remove the noise occurring in the process of data transmission, processing and storage. There are many types of noises added to the image according to the cause and shape, and AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise) is one of typical noises. This paper proposed an algorithm which applies the weighting of filter differently according to the standard deviation in order to alleviate AWGN added to the image, and compared this algorithm with the current methods using PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) as a criterion of judgment.

Ultrasonic surgical devices are routinely used for surgical procedures. The incision and coagulation of tissue generate a temperature of $40^{\circ}C-150^{\circ}C$ and depend on the controllable output power level of the surgical device. Recently, research on the classification of grasped tissues to automatically control the power level was published. However, this research did not consider the specific characteristics of the surgical device, tissue denaturalization, and so on. Therefore, this research proposes a robust algorithm that simulates noise to resemble real situations and classifies tissue using conventional classifier algorithms. In this research, the bioimpedance spectrum for six tissues (liver, large intestine, kidney, lung, muscle, and fat) is measured, and five classifier algorithms are used. A signal-to-noise ratio of additive white Gaussian noise diversifies the testing sets, and as a result, each classifier's performance exhibits a difference. The k-nearest neighbors algorithm shows the highest classification rate of 92.09% (p < 0.01) and a standard deviation of 1.92%, which confirms high reproducibility.
