In order to deal with the filtering delay problem of least mean square adaptive filter noise reduction algorithm and music noise problem of spectral subtraction algorithm during the speech signal processing, we combine these two algorithms and propose one novel noise reduction method, showing a strong performance on par or even better than state of the art methods. We first use the least mean square algorithm to reduce the average intensity of noise, and then add spectral subtraction algorithm to reduce remaining noise again. Experiments prove that using the spectral subtraction again after the least mean square adaptive filter algorithm overcomes shortcomings which come from the former two algorithms. Also the novel method increases the signal-to-noise ratio of original speech data and improves the final noise reduction performance.

Salt and pepper is a type of impulse noise. It may appear due to an error in the image transmission process and image storage memory. This noise changes the pixel value at any position in the image to 0 (in case of pepper noise) or 255 (in case of salt noise). In this paper, we present an algorithm for SAP noise reduction. The proposed method consists of three steps. In the first step, the location of the SAP noise is detected, and in the second step, the pixel value of the detected location is restored using a weighted average of the surrounding pixel values. In the last step, a reliability matrix around the reconstructed pixels is constructed, and additional correction is performed with a weighted average using this. As a result of the experiment, the proposed method appears to have similar or higher objective and subjective image quality than previous methods for almost all SAP noise ratios.

In this paper, we propose an efficient edge preserving smoothing filter for Infrared image that can reduce noise while preserving edge information. Infrared images suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio, low edge detail information and low contrast. So, detail enhancement and noise reduction play crucial roles in infrared image processing. We first apply a guided image filter as a local analysis. After the filtering process, we optimization globally using relativity of guided image filter. Our method outperforms the previous methods in removing the noise while preserving edge information and detail enhancement.

This study aimed to compare filters for reducing speckle noise in ultrasound images using clinical liver images. We acquired the clinical liver ultrasound images, and noisy images were obtained by adding 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.50 intensity levels of speckle noise to the liver images. The Wiener filter, median modified Wiener filter, gamma filter, and Lee filter were designed for the noisy images by setting window sizes at 3×3, 5×5, and 7×7. The coefficient of variation (COV) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) were calculated to evaluate noise reduction and various filters. Moreover, the filter with the highest image quality was selected and quantitatively compared to a noisy image. As a result, COV and CNR showed the noise improved result when the Lee filter was applied. Furthermore, the Lee filter image with a window size of 7×7 was noted to possess approximately a minimum of 1.28 to a maximum of 3.38 times better COV and a minimum of 2.18 to a maximum of 5.50 times better CNR than the noisy image. In conclusion, we confirmed that the Lee filter was effective in reducing speckle noise and proved that an appropriate window size needs to be set considering blurring.

The performance of the adaptive noise canceller using LMS algorithm is degraded by the gradient noise due to target speech signals. An adaptive noise canceller with speech detector was proposed to reduce this performande degradation. The speech detector utilized the adaptive prediction-error filter adapted by the NLMS algorithm. This paper discusses to enhance the performance of the adaptive noise canceller forthecorlored noise. The affine projection algorithm, which is known as faster than NLMS algorithm for correlated signals, is used to adapt the adaptive filter and the adaptive prediction error filter. When the voice signals are detected by the speech detector, coefficients of adaptive filter are adapted by the sign-error afine projection algorithm which is modified to reduce the miaslignment of adaptive filter coefficients. Otherwirse, they are adapted by affine projection algorithm. To obtain better performance, the proper step size of sign-error affine projection algorithm is discussed. As resutls of computer simulation, it is shown that the performance of the proposed ANC is better than that of conventional one.

본 논문에서는 음성신호를 개선할 목적으로 잡음으로 오염된 음성신호로부터 잡음성분을 제거하기 위한 위너 필터를 사용한 잡음제거 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 먼저 잡음 복원 및 제거 방법에 기초하여 잡음으로 오염된 신호로부터 각 프레임에서 백색잡음의 잡음 스펙트럼을 제거한다. 또한 본 알고리즘은 선형예측 분석 방법에 기초한 위너 필터를 사용하여 음성신호를 강조한다. 본 실험에서는 일본 남성화자에 의한 음성과 잡음데이터를 사용하여 본 알고리즘의 실험 결과를 나타낸다. 백색잡음에 의하여 오염된 음성신호에 대하여 스펙트럼 왜곡률 척도를 사용하여 본 알고리즘이 유효하다는 것을 확인한다. 실험으로부터 백색잡음에 대하여 이전의 위너 필터와 비교하여 최대 4.94 dB의 출력 스펙트럼 왜곡률이 개선된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

To classify the significant wavelet coefficients into edge area and noise area, a morphological clustering filter applied to wavelet shrinkage is introduced. New methods for wavelet shrinkage using morphological clustering filter are used in noise removal, and the performance is evaluated under various noise conditions.

In this paper, we want to implement a noise canceller by using FIR filter on DSP(Digital Signal Processor). The FIR filter was designed by Blackman window together with desired band width and center frequency. We adopt Motorola DSP56002 and Crystal CS4215 (A/D and D/A converter) for our purpose. we generate input sinusoidal signals and noises by differential equations and pseudo random sequences on DSP also. The input signal including sinusoidal and noise passes through the FIR filter. The FIR filer output is a sinusoidal signal with noise reduced.

본 논문에서는 선형적응필터를 사용하고 있는 기존의 적응잡음제거 기 의 단점을 보완하기 위해 신경망 적응필터를 이용한 비선형 적응잡음제거기를 다루고 있다. 제안된 적응잡음제거기는 광대역 시변 잡음신호를 사용하여 잡음제거 성능을 조사하였으며 상대평가를 위해 TDL (tapped-delay -line) 선형필터의 적응잡음제거기와 비교하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 적응잡음 제거기의 주입력에 포함된 잡음과 기준입력 사이에 비선형적인 상관관계가 존재하는 경우 신경망 적응잡음제거기는 평균자승오차값을 기준으로 선형잡음제거기보다 더 우수한 성능을 보여주었으며, 또한 리커런트 신경망 적응필터가 순방향 신경망 필터보다 성능이 우수하였다. 따라서 적응잡음제거기에서 광대역 시변잡음을 제거하는데 신경망 적응필터가 선형 적응필터보다 효과적임을 확인하였다.

현재, 디지털 시대의 급속 발전과 함께 멀티미디어 서비스에 대한 수요가 증가되고 있다. 그러나 영상 데이터를 처리, 전송, 저장하는 과정에서 여러 외부 원인에 의해 영상의 열화가 발생되며, 영상 열화의 주된 원인은 잡음에 의한 것으로 알려져 있다. 잡음을 제거하는 대표적인 방법은 CWMF(center weighted median filter), A-TMF(alpha-trimmed mean filter), AWMF(adaptive weighted median filter) 등이 있으며, 이러한 방법들은 복합잡음 환경에서의 잡음제거 특성이 다소 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 복합잡음을 제거하기 위하여 잡음 판단을 거친 후, 마스크의 메디안 값 및 거리에 의해 적응 가중치를 설정하여 처리하는 영상복원 필터 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 그리고 객관적 판단을 위해 기존의 방법들과 비교하였으며, 판단의 기준으로 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)을 사용하였다.
