Attenuation of Industrial Noise by FFT based Adaptive MDCT
نویسنده
چکیده
–Industrial noise induced hearing loss is an increasingly prevalent disorder that is the result of exposure to high intensity sounds, especially over a long period of time. Noises of industry can cause partial deafness, interference with communication by speech and annoy. These undesirable effects are best avoided by reducing the noise to acceptable levels. Several investigations on industrial noise proved that industrial workers need at least 10-15 dB higher SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) than the other places. The objective of this paper is to implement Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) based Modified Discrete Cosine Transformation Least Mean Square (MDCT-LMS) to reduce the effect of industrial noise and to improve overall sound quality of industrial workers. The computer simulated results show superior convergence characteristics of the adaptive complex transformation algorithm by improving the SNR at least 11dB for input SNR’s less than and equal to 0 dB, with excellent convergence ratio, better time and frequency characteristics. These results suggest that a headset with digital signal processing adaptive algorithm are useful for hearing protection in workplaces with high levels of wide band industrial noise. Keywords–– Industrial noise, Hearing protection, noise control, adaptive filter, SNR improvement, fast MCT-LMS.

متن کاملShearlet-Based Adaptive Noise Reduction in CT Images
The noise in reconstructed slices of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is of unknown distribution, non-stationary, oriented and difficult to distinguish from main structural information. This requires the development of special post-processing methods based on the local statistical evaluation of the noise component. This paper presents an adaptive method of reducing noise in CT images employing th...

Introduction: Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a method to measure the electrical activity of the heart which is performed by placing electrodes on the surface of the body. Physicians use observation tools to detect and diagnose heart diseases, the same is performed on ECG signals by cardiologists. In particular, heart diseases are recognized by examining the graphic representation of heart signals w...
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...
