A fundamental issue in the theory of continuous stochastic process is the interpretation of multiplicative white noise, which is often referred to as the Itô-Stratonovich dilemma. From a physical perspective, this reflects the need to introduce additional constraints in order to specify the nature of the noise, whereas from a mathematical perspective it reflects an ambiguity in the formulation ...

Gaussian processes provide natural non-parametric prior distributions over regression functions. In this paper we consider regression problems where there is noise on the output, and the variance of the noise depends on the inputs. If we assume that the noise is a smooth function of the inputs, then it is natural to model the noise variance using a second Gaussian process, in addition to the Ga...

conclusion various filters are needed to improve the image quality. in this study, seven different filters were implemented and investigated on both noisy and noise-free images. background developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) can be detected with ultrasonography (usg) images. however, the accuracy of this method is dependent on the skill of the radiologist. radiologists measure the hip join...

Background: With industrial development, many production processes emit high levels of noise, presenting problems for society. This emission causes an environmental impact on employees and also on the surrounding environment. Materials and Methods: The present study was performed with the objective of analyzing the noise emission in a plastic recycling plant in the municipality of Caçador, San...

In this paper, combined GPS and GLONASS positioning systems are discussed and some solutions have been proposed to improve the accuracy of navigation. Global Satellite Navigation System (GNSS) is able to provide position, velocity and time with respect to coordinated universal time. GNSS positioning is based on received satellite signals, so its performance is highly dependent on the quality of...

noise removal operation is commonly applied as pre-processing step before subsequent image processing tasks due to the occurrence of noise during acquisition or transmission process. a common problem in imaging systems by using cmos or ccd sensors is appearance of  the salt and pepper noise. this paper presents cellular automata (ca) framework for noise removal of distorted image by the salt an...

In this study, efficient methods for optimal sensor placement (OSP) based on a new geometrical viewpoint for damage detection in structures is presented. The purpose is to minimize the effects of noise on the damage detection process. In the geometrical viewpoint, a sensor location is equivalent to projecting the elliptical noise on to a face of response space which is corresponding to the sens...

We present a systematic study of low-frequency noise in Au nanoparticle chemosensors. All the sensors we have studied exhibit 1 / f-type noise at low frequencies. The magnitude of the 1/ f noise was smaller in devices with a larger device area, indicating that the 1/ f noise is caused by intrinsic processes. The noise amplitude was found to be strongly temperature dependent between 40–300 K, wi...

Propeller cavitation noise in the high frequency regime is broadband and yet audibly rhythmic. The study of these processes are important because the shaft and blade rates, as well as other identifying features of the ship, can in principle be inferred from propeller noise modulation characteristics. Conventional wisdom has been that propeller noise is an amplitude modulation of a wide sense st...
