Impulse noise generated by starter pistols

Removal of Impulse Noise by Selective Filtering

In this paper we present a novel structure for removal of impulse noise which is based on a combination of impulse detection and nonlinear ltering. The impulse detector is realized as a neural network which will be shown to possess a very simple structure. This means that, compared to traditional approaches, a signiicant gain in performance can be achieved with considerably smaller complexity. ...

Restoration of Images Corrupted by Impulse Noise and Mixed Gaussian Impulse Noise Using Blind Inpainting

This article studies the problem of image restoration of observed images corrupted by impulse noise and mixed Gaussian impulse noise. Since the pixels damaged by impulse noise contain no information about the true image, how to find this set correctly is a very important problem. We propose two methods based on blind inpainting and `0 minimization that can simultaneously find the damaged pixels...

Speech starter: noise-robust endpoint detection by using filled pauses

In this paper we propose a speech interface function, called speech starter, that enables noise-robust endpoint (utterance) detection for speech recognition. When current speech recognizers are used in a noisy environment, a typical recognition error is caused by incorrect endpoints because their automatic detection is likely to be disturbed by non-stationary noises. The speech starter function...

Semi-classical Noise Treatment of Generated Supercontinuum Light by a Finite Energy Airy Pulse

In this paper, a stochastic term is added to the classical generalized nonlinear Schrödinger Equation to describe the noise generated when light pulses propagate in a fiber. It has been shown that the generated supercontinuum light source fluctuates up to 50% of its output temporal intensity profile due to noises of different sources. The simulation method devised has been applied to the propag...
