The resistance of the improved moving objects detection algorithm to various types of additive and multiplicative noise is discussed. The algorithm’s first phase contains the noise suppression filter based on spatiotemporal blocks including dimensionality reduction technique for a compact scalar representation of each block, and the second phase consists of the moving object detection algorithm...

Laser plasma interferograms are currently analyzed by extraction of the phase-shift map with fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques [Appl. Opt. 18, 3101 (1985)]. This methodology works well when interferograms are only marginally affected by noise and reduction of fringe visibility, but it can fail to produce accurate phase-shift maps when low-quality images are dealt with. We present a novel ...

A noise reduction scheme, particularly suited for the correction of vocal pathologies, is proposed. The filter makes use of concepts originated within the theory of dynamical systems and deterministic chaos. In particular, the idea of embedding scalar data in order to reconstruct a phase space is of fundamental importance here. Furthermore, the concept of an attractor as a result of dynamical c...

We predict phase-transitions in the quantum noise characteristics of systems described by the quantum nonlinear Schrödinger equation, showing them to be related to the solitonic field transition at half the fundamental soliton amplitude. These phase-transitions are robust with respect to Raman noise and scattering losses. We also describe the rich internal quantum noise structure of the soliton...

The amplitude of low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is weak, and the echo is buried in the noise. The reduction of noise is critical to accurately extract echo amplitude. Phase correction-adaptive line enhancement (PC-ALE) is proposed to noise suppression based on the principle of ALE and NMR spin-echo characteristics. The echo amplitude is calculated after two-stage processes; phase sh...

We propose convex relaxations for nonconvex energies on vector-valued functions which are tractable yet as tight as possible. In contrast to existing relaxations, we can handle the combination of nonconvex data terms with coupled regularizers such as l-regularizers. The key idea is to consider a collection of hypersurfaces with a relaxation that takes into account the entire functional rather t...

This paper describes a new method for design of linear phase finite impulse response (FIR) filters. This new approach, based on the ε-insensitive loss function, allows the design process to take into account not only constraints specified in the frequency domain, but also constraints on the output, time domain, signal. The performances of the proposed approach are shortly illustrated with a des...
