In recent years, multivariate synchronization index (MSI) algorithm, as a novel frequency detection method, has attracted increasing attentions in the study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on steady state visual evoked potential (SSVEP). However, MSI algorithm is hard to fully exploit SSVEP-related harmonic components electroencephalogram (EEG), which limits application BCI systems. t...

A super-mean filter (SUMF) is proposed to remove high density salt & pepper noise from digital images. The proposed filter works in two stages, in the first stage the noisy pixels are detected and in the second stage each noisy pixel is replaced by the mean value of noise free pixel of 2×2 matrix. Extensive simulation and experimental results shows that the proposed filter works well consistent...

Article history: Received: 11.9.2013 Received in revised form: 6.11.2013 Accepted: 26.11.2013 In a multi-sensor target tracking system, the correlation of the sensors is unknown, and the cross-covariance between the local sensors can not be calculated. To solve the problem, the multisensor covariance intersection fusion steady-state Kalman filter is proposed. The advantage of the proposed metho...

This paper presents the deringing filter used in the Daala royalty-free video codec. The filter is based on a non-linear conditional replacement filter and is designed for vectorization efficiency. It takes into account the direction of edges and patterns being filtered. The filter works by identifying the direction of each block and then adaptively filtering along the identified direction. In ...

An active filter with a 50 Ω buffer suitable as an anti-alias filter to drive a highly linear ADC is implemented in 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS. This 6th-order Chebyshev filter has a 3 dB cutoff frequency of 28.3 MHz and achieves 36.5 dBm OIP3. Nonlinear digital equalization further improves OIP3 to 43.6 dBm. Measurements show 92 dB of rejection at the stopband and a gain of 49 dB. The measured in-band...

In [1] and [2] we have discussed the problem of existence of an independent set of generators for a countably generated filter in an atomless Boolean algebra and for any filter in a free Boolean algebra. In particular, we have proved that if F is a filter in a free Boolean algebra then F is freely generated provided the minimal cardinality of the set of generators of F is not a singular cardina...

The transmission characteristics of a Raman-amplified atomic filter that can be used to detect fairly weak signals in free-space quantum-key distribution or laser communications are analyzed and discussed in the coherent and incoherent pump fields respectively. The theoretical model for the calculation of the transmission characteristics of a groundstate Raman-amplified Faraday dispersion atomi...

A method that computes linear digital filter networks containing delay-free loops is proposed. Compared to existing techniques the proposed method does not require a rearrangement of the network structure, conversely it makes use of matrices describing this structure and specifying the connections between the filter blocks forming the network. For this reason the efficiency of the method become...
