چکیده

Noise reduction in images, also known as image smoothing, is an essential and rst step before further processings are done on the image. The key to image smoothing is to preserve important features while removing noise from the image. Gaussian function is widely used in image smoothing. Recently it has been reported that exponential functions (value of the exponent is not equal to 2) perform substantially better than Gaussian functions in modeling and preserving image features. In this paper we propose family of exponential functions, that include Gaussian when the value of the exponent is 2, for image smoothing. We experiment with a variety of images, arti cial and real, and demonstrate that optimal results are obtained when the value of the exponent is within a certain range. Image Smoothing 1

A new adaptive exponential smoothing method for non-stationary time series with level shifts

Simple exponential smoothing (SES) methods are the most commonly used methods in forecasting and time series analysis. However, they are generally insensitive to non-stationary structural events such as level shifts, ramp shifts, and spikes or impulses. Similar to that of outliers in stationary time series, these non-stationary events will lead to increased level of errors in the forecasting pr...

Prediction of global sea cucumber capture production based on the exponential smoothing and ARIMA models

Sea cucumber catch has followed “boom-and-bust” patterns over the period of 60 years from 1950-2010, and sea cucumber fisheries have had important ecological, economic and societal roles. However, sea cucumber fisheries have not been explored systematically, especially in terms of catch change trends. Sea cucumbers are relatively sedentary species. An attempt was made to explore whether the tim...

PAIRED ANISOTROPIC DISTRIBUTION FOR IMAGE SELECTIVE SMOOTHING

‎In this paper‎, ‎we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear‎ ‎partial differential equations‎. ‎The distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution‎, ‎and is‎ ‎determined by the edge-strength function‎. ‎In the previous works‎, ‎the edge-strength function depends on isotropic‎ ‎smoothing of the image‎...
