Measurement and removal of echo integration noise
نویسنده
چکیده
Pushing scientific echo sounders to the limit involves the consideration of ‘‘noise’’, which is inherently frequency dependent and which also depends on bottom depth. Here, noise is quantified by measurement with a standard echo sounder, the SIMRAD EK500, at 18, 38, 120 and 200 kHz. The use of empirical relationships of noise as a function of range to reduce echo integration is described in general, and illustrated in particular, for data collected on the stock of Norwegian spring spawning herring (Clupea harengus) when wintering in the Vestfjord system.

A post-processing technique to remove background noise from echo integration data
Echo integration of biological organisms with a low target strength can be difficult because of the problem of setting suitable pre-integration thresholds, and this is particularly acute with higher frequencies, such as 120 or 200 kHz, which are often used in studies of euphausiids. One solution is to integrate data without any threshold and then remove background noise during post-processing. ...
متن کاملFast Cellular Automata Implementation on Graphic Processor Unit (GPU) for Salt and Pepper Noise Removal
Noise removal operation is commonly applied as pre-processing step before subsequent image processing tasks due to the occurrence of noise during acquisition or transmission process. A common problem in imaging systems by using CMOS or CCD sensors is appearance of the salt and pepper noise. This paper presents Cellular Automata (CA) framework for noise removal of distorted image by the salt an...
متن کاملSalt and Pepper Noise Removal using Pixon-based Segmentation and Adaptive Median Filter
Removing salt and pepper noise is an active research area in image processing. In this paper, a two-phase method is proposed for removing salt and pepper noise while preserving edges and fine details. In the first phase, noise candidate pixels are detected which are likely to be contaminated by noise. In the second phase, only noise candidate pixels are restored using adaptive median filter. In...
متن کاملImproving Parameter Mapping in MRI Relaxometry and Multi-Echo Dixon using an Automated Spectral Denoising
Synopsis Magnitude-based parameter ᴀ밄tting is commonly used for relaxometry and multi-echo Dixon but introduces a bias for relaxation and fat fraction estimates, particularly for a low signal-to-noise ratio and high relaxation. The application of an automated, patchwise denoising to the multi-echo image series prior to parameter ᴀ밄tting, considerably increased the SNR; thus, reducing the bias a...
متن کامل2 Noise and Distortion
oise can be defined as an unwanted signal that interferes with the communication or measurement of another signal. A noise itself is a signal that conveys information regarding the source of the noise. For example, the noise from a car engine conveys information regarding the state of the engine. The sources of noise are many, and vary from audio frequency acoustic noise emanating from moving, ...
