In 1992 David Donoho has introduced the term denoising in connection with the adaptive nonlinear ...ltering in the discrete wavelets transform domain. Despite its advantages this method is not used yet in the communications ...eld. The goal of this paper is to propose a new denoising method, using another strategy for the threshold selection and another wavelets transform. This new discrete wav...

Background Single-shot (SSH) pulse sequences in CMR are beneficial for rapid image acquisition that is robust to motion, especially in arrhythmic patients or poor breath-holders. However, this fast scanning technique trades scan time for a lower signal-to-noise ratio compared to conventional multi-shot acquisitions. Here we propose a motion-compensated denoising technique that improves the imag...

In this paper we have proposed a novel method for image denoising using local polynomial approximation (LPA) combined with the relative intersection of confidence intervals (RICI) rule. The algorithm performs separable column-wise and row-wise image denoising (i.e., independently by rows and by columns), combining the obtained results into the final image estimate. The newly developed method pe...

Ellipsoid fitting is a widely used technique in 3D shape modeling, which simultaneously estimate the center and orientation of 3D object. This paper explores the limits of performance for the ellipsoid-fitting center estimator. It is shown that the noise in the surface sample data can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution when the signal to noise ratio is high. The Cramér-Rao lower bound i...

Most of the wavelet threshold denoising methods need to calculate the corresponding threshold. The estimation of noise variance will directly affect the effect of threshold denoising method. This paper describes a new phase matching method of the noise variance estimation. The real-time noise can be estimated by this method. The experiments show that the method can greatly improve the signal to...

When we speak in an environment with noise, we often modify our speech production, and speech spoken in noise is generally more intelligible than speech produced in a quiet environment, which is known as the Lombard effect. Our goal is to provide intelligible speech announcements in noisy and/or reverberant public spaces, such as train stations. Thus, the present paper examines whether speech s...

To alleviate excessive smoothing of high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions which are correspond to the structural features of MR images by using classical anisotropic diffusion (AD) filter. A novel AD filter called SNR controlled anisotropic diffusion is proposed. In this filter, an adaptive diffusivity function which is based on the correction factor of MR images was constructed. This adapti...

Optomechanical systems are often used for the measurement of weak forces. Feedback loops can be used in these systems for achieving noise reduction. Here we show that even though feedback is not able to improve the signal to noise ratio of the device in stationary conditions, it is possible to design a nonstationary strategy able to improve the sensitivity.
