INTRODUCTION Exposure to continuous or impulse noise may lead to High Sound Pressure Induced Hearing Loss (HSPIHL) or to acoustic trauma in soldiers. Auditory evaluation by means of evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAE) has been demonstrating its importance in the detection of subtle changes in cochlear function still unidentified in threshold tone audiometry in subjects exposed to noise. OBJEC...

Determining the effectiveness of impulse noise attenuation with hearing protection devices (HPDs) is an important part of their selection. Measuring impulse noise parameters under an HPD would involve exposing subjects to impulses with a high peak sound pressure level. This paper presents a computational method of determining impulse noise parameters under the cups of earmuffs. Calculations are...

Elimination of noise is a necessary and challengeable operation in image processing. Before performing any operation, images have to be first restored. Images are corrupted by noise during image acquirement and transmission. Noise and blurring effects always corrupts any recorded image. To reduce the impulse noise level in digital images a novel algorithm FSM(Fuzzy Switching Median) filter is p...

In this digital world, due to faulty sensors, storage, and channels images videos are often corrupted by impulse noise, which is a frequently occurring noise type in an image. Impulse noise are classified into fixed valued (salt and pepper noise) and random valued impulse noise. This paper proposes an effective noise reduction method for images corrupted by the random valued impulse noise, hand...

this paper deals with a globally convergent adaptive and sliding mode control of a cart-pole inverted pendulum for trajectory tracking in the presence of a bounded measurement noise and parameter uncertainty. two kinds of controllers have been used for evaluation of tracking error in presence of a bounded noise; as a result, we want to compare that at what time we can see the convergence of tra...

Concern has often been expressed that the performance of hearing protectors in steady noise may not apply to their performance in impulse noise. Our current.studies, as well as other studies, support the fact that there is a large difference in performance. In all cases, the performance of a protector is much better for impulse noise than for continuous noise. For example, we are obtaining at l...

Noise is an important factor that degrades the quality of medical images. Impulse noise is a common noise, which is caused by malfunctioning of sensor elements or errors in the transmission of images. In medical images due to presence of white foreground and black background, many pixels have intensities similar to impulse noise and distinction between noisy and regular pixels is difficult. In ...

A digital image is often deteriorated by impulse noise that may occur during processes such as transmission. An impulse noise converts the pixel data in the image into black (0) or white (255) values at a random frequency and is also called salt-and-pepper noise. In this paper, we identify the details of pixels that have been damaged by impulse noise by analyzing the frequency of the noisy imag...

Images are often corrupted by impulse noise in the procedures of image acquisition and transmission. Impulse noise is a category of acoustic noise which includes unwanted sharp sounds like click and pops. To avoid the damage on noise liberated pixels, the switching medium filters are used which consists of impulse detection and noise filtering. In our project, we propose an efficient denoising ...
