Background : Noise pollution and workers' noise exposure are common in industrial factories in Iran. In order to reduce this noise pollution, evaluation and investigation of noise emission are both necessary. In this study, different noise mapping methodsare used for determining the distribution of noise.   Materials and Methods : In the present study, for preparing a noise map i...

Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...

Introduction: The noise could affect some aspects of human health, including the cognitive performance. In addition to sound pressure level and exposure time, the psychoacoustic features of noise may cause destructive effects on humans. A few recent studies have been conducted on effect of sound quality on cognitive performance. This study aims to find the noise loudness and sharpness levels as...

background; noise mapping in industry can be useful to assess the risks of harmful noise, or to monitor noise in machine rooms. using gis -based software for plot of noise maps in an indoor noisy work environment can be helpful for occupational hygienists to monitor noise pollution. methods; this study was carried out in noisy packaging unit of a food industry in ghazvin industrial zone, to eva...
