Because of low noise and small size with huge capacity, a centrifugal fan is widely used for ventilation, air-conditioner and so on, which are very near to human life. Because of the complexity of its vibration and noise generation mechanics, most of researches on them are based on experimental methods. This study is to characterize the centrifugal fan noise and vibration. It is considered that noise is composed of the structural vibration noise and the air flow induced aerodynamic noise. To decouple the structural vibration noise the centrifugal fan is masked with an adhesive tape, such that air blowing is prohibited thus only the structural vibration noise is extracted. The noise level and characteristics in the frequency domain are verified and compared with those of total mixed one. This study shows some significant results that the structural vibration noise has relatively narrow band power spectrum compared with the total mixed one and has a strong periodicity. The sound level is lowered about 5dB by the removal of air flow with the masked fan for an air-conditioner used in this study.

Image signal related technology has been developing via various display equipment development and popularization of contents. However, errors occur in these image contents due to addition of excess noise from several cause during the process of general image signal data processing, transmission and storage. In terms of noise added to the image content, there are various types in accordance with cause of occurrence and form, and it is typically impulse noise, gaussian noise and complex noise which is composed of two types of overlapping noise. In this paper, complex algorithm is suggested in order to lessen the effect of mixed noise added to the image content by putting it through noise judgement process and categorizing each into impulse and gaussian noise and processing them separately. And in order to demonstrate the superiority of the suggested algorithm, PSIN(peak signal to noise ratio) was used as the standard of judgement.

The SA fillers encompass a large class of filters based on order statistics as veil as linear FIR filters. Using SA later structure, it is possible to design linear and non-linear filters under a unified framework. In this paper SA filters are applied to an image smoothing problem for mixed noise. Original image is contaminated by Gaussian and impulsive noise. Optimal SA filters are designed and applied to contaminated image. The experimental result shows that SA filters outperform linear FIR and ordering-based nonlinear filters.

There are Impulse noise and AWGN in a general image processing. Various methods have been proposed to remove these noises. Well-known filters are Mean, Min-max and Median filter and these show different characteristics depending on the noises. When Impulse noise and AWGN are in superposition environment, single filter doesn't remove noises well. Therefore in this paper, we suggested a switching filter using a probability of noise to restore images in this environment. And we compared a filter with conventional method through simulations.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, modern society uses a diverse pool of devices. In this context, there is increasing interest in removing various kinds of noise arising in data transmission. However, it is difficult to restore image that damaged by mixed noise, and a digital filter that effectively restores an image according to the characteristics of the noise is required. In this paper, we propose a digital switching filter algorithm to remove mixed noise generated during digital image transmission. The proposed algorithm switches the filtering process through noise judgment and reconstructs the image using fuzzy weights and combined weights based on the pixel values inside the mask. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we compared it with existing filter algorithms through simulation. Filtering results were expanded and compared for visual evaluation, and PSNR comparison was used for quantitative evaluation.

In digital images, the addition due to noise occurs in the process of obtaining, saving, and transmitting. For examples of noise, there are salt and pepper noise, Gaussian noise, and composition noise where various noises are mixed. Existing filters have insufficient noise removal characteristics because it uses single filters in composite noise environment. Therefore the study suggested a switching filter that processes with special weighted value and median filter according to local mask salt and pepper noise density when central pixel is damaged by salt and pepper noise, and processes by applying weighted values differently according to standard deviation of local mask when damaged by Gaussian noise.

Digital imaging process has been put to practical use in various application sectors due to a rapid advancement such as memory devices, etc. However, noises are being generated due to various reasons during the image processing and a variety of methods are being studied in order to eliminate these noises. Generally, images are damaged due to a mixed noise having different characteristics. In this paper, a filter algorithm which switches according to the noise types was proposed in order to mitigate the influence of mixed noise included in the image. And using the PSNR as the standard for objective decision making of the improvement effect, it was compared with the existing methods.

This paper first proposes a technique to separate clean speech signals and mixed noise signals by using an independent vector analysis algorithm of frequency band for 4 channel speech source signals with a noise. An improved output speech signal from the proposed independent vector analysis algorithm is obtained by using the cross-correlation between the signal outputs from the frequency domain delay-sum beamforming and the output signals separated from the proposed independent vector analysis algorithm. In the experiments, the proposed algorithm improves the maximum SNRs of 10.90dB and the segmental SNRs of 10.02dB compared with the frequency domain delay-sum beamforming algorithm for the input mixed noise speeches with 0dB and -5dB SNRs including white noise, respectively. Therefore, it can be seen from this experiment and consideration that the speech quality of this proposed algorithm is improved compared to the frequency domain delay-sum beamforming algorithm.

In this paper we present Multiple-Channel Active Noise Control[ANC] system by employing Independent Component Analysis[ICA] and Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System[ANFIS]. ICA is widely used in signal processing and communication and it use prewhiting and appropriate choice of non-linearities, ICA can separate mixed signal. ANFIS controller is trained with the hybrid learning algorithm to optimize its parameters for adaptively canceling noise. This new method which minimizes a statistical dependency of mutual information(MI) in mixed low frequency noise signal and there is no need to secondary path modeling. The proposed implementations achieve more powerful and stable noise reduction than Filtered-X LMS algorithms which is needed for LTI assumption and precise secondary error

Recently, as the use of digital equipment increases in various fields, the importance of image and signal processing is increasing. However, many kinds of noise occur in the digital signal during transmission and reception, and this noise greatly affects the final output of the system. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that effectively restores the image by removing noise according to pixel similarity in a mixed noise environment with impulse noise and AWGN. The proposed algorithm sets the reference value according to the noise type and applies the filtering to pixels similar to the reference value to obtain the final output. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has good noise canceling performance and compared with conventional methods using PSNR.
