background: sound produced by the passing traffic contributes to noise pollution. noise pollution affects the residents of both city and suburban areas. the noise produced does not only disturb the community living nearby the main road during the day but becomes worse during the night. the purpose of the study is to perform noise level measurement and subjective evaluation on the noise produced...

The report surveys the evolution of image denoising techniques from the perspectives of detection, measurement, and removal. Since noise detection and measurement are intrinsically the same, we focus on the discussion of noise measurement and noise removal techniques. For noise measurement approaches, we survey filter-based, block-based, and wavelet-based, as well as other important achievement...

conclusions according to the results of this study, with increasing load of traffic, there is an increasing need for proper consideration plans to control noise pollution and prevent its effects. results according to the research findings, the equivalent sound pressure levels in all stations were 76.28 ± 3.12 db (mean ± sd). according to sound measurements and the survey questionnaire, noise po...

In this paper, a novel method based on a combination of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with Self-adaptive Differential Evolution (SaDE) algorithm to estimate rotor position, speed and machine states for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is proposed. In the proposed method, as a first step SaDE algorithm is used to tune the noise covariance matrices of state noise and measurement noise i...

Instantaneous Frequency Measurement (IFM) devices are the essential parts of anyESM, ELINT, and RWR receiver. Analog IFMs have been used for several decades. However, thesedevices are bulky, complex and expensive. Nowadays, there is a great interest in developing a wideband, high dynamic range, and accurate Digital IFMs. One Digital IFM that has suitably reached allthese requirements is mono-bi...

background: to prevent the adverse health effects of noise pollution and to achieve the recommended standards, assessment of noise levels in the cities is essential. the aim of this study was to evaluate noise pollution levels (npls) in isfahan, iran and compare them with recommended standard values. materials and methods: a total number of 19 measurement points were selected from most congeste...

In this paper altitude measurement from water surface using laser beam is presented. Research data indicate that the reflection of infrared waves from water surface is about zero and it is less than 2% for visible radiations. Phase-shift and heterodyne technique was used for the measurement, and the laser beam ( mW p nm 10 , 700 = = l ) was modulated by a sine wave having a fixed frequency....
