In this paper we introduce the generalized feedforward filter, a new class of adaptive filters that combine attractive properties of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters with some of the power of Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters. A particular case, the adaptive gamma filter, generalizes Widrow’s adaptive linear combiner (adaline) to an infinite impulse response filter. Yet, the stabilit...

to investigate the effect of preprocessing techniques including contrast enhancement and illumination correction on retinal imagequality, a comparative study was carried out. we studied and implemented a few illumination correction and contrast enhancementtechniques on color retinal images to find out the best technique for optimum image enhancement. to compare and choose thebest illumination c...

Nonlinear effects, or non-Wiener behavior, have been observed in several adaptive filtering applications, such as adaptive equalization of wideband communication signals contaminated by narrowband interference, adaptive narrowband noise cancellation, and adaptive linear prediction of narrowband processes. The nonlinear effects have been especially prominent when narrowband processes have been i...

Purpose: The purpose of the current work was experimental investigations of the mean breast dose and volume dose distributions with and without adaptive filtration. Adaptive filtration of the x-ray beam is used in dedicated breast CT to reduce dynamic range requirements on the detector, and to improve image quality. The adaptive filter has a predetermined shape, it is placed after the x-ray sou...

Traditional stable adaptive filter was used normalized least-mean square (NLMS) algorithm. However, identification performance of the traditional filter was especially vulnerable to degradation in low signal-noise-ratio (SRN) regime. Recently, adaptive filter using normalized least-mean fourth (NLMF) is attracting attention in adaptive system identifications (ASI) due to its high identification...

Adaptive Local Image Registration is a Local Image Registration based on an Adaptive Filtering frame work. A filter of appropriate size convolves with reference image and gives the pixel values corresponding to the distorted image and the filter is updated in each stage of the convolution. When the filter converges to the system model, it provides the registered image. The filter size plays an ...

This paper studies adaptive truncated Volterra filters employing parallel-cascade structures. Parallel-cascade realiza­ tions implement higher order Volterra systems as a parallel con­ nection of multiplicative combinations of lower order truncated Volterra systems. A normalized LMS adaptive filter is developed, and its performance capabilities are evaluated using a series of simulation experim...

Adaptive, locally refined and locally adjusted meshes are preferred over uniform meshes for capturing singular or localised solutions. Roughly speaking, for a given degree of freedom a solution associated with adaptive, locally refined and locally adjusted meshes is more accurate than the solution given by uniform meshes. In this work, we answer the question which meshes are better conditioned....
