Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Impact Assessment of Quarrying Plants: An IRF Kriging Solution to Noise and Airborne Dust MonitoringDario Lippiello, Guido Alfaro Degan, Mario PinzariA geostatistical approach is tested for the assessment of the environmental impact generated by industrial plants on the surrounding areas. To this end, a case study of a tuff quarry in the Italian region of Lazio is presented. The method utilised is Intrinsic Kriging with external drift which allows spatial maps of different hazardous agents like noise and airborne dust … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2019 · 7,885 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwo-Stage Estimation in Inverse Problems using Combined Wavelet Thresholding and Penalized Maximum LikelihoodRobert G Aykroyd, Hassan AljohaniInverse problems occur in a wide range of practical scientific investigations where the variables of interest are only observed indirectly, such as magnetic and seismic imaging in geophysics, electrical tomography in industrial process monitoring, or PET scanning in medicine. Linear inverse problems can be thought of as highly multivariate regression problems with strong multicollinearity where the aim is to interpret … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2017 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractADDITIVE AND MULTIPLICATIVE NOISE REMOVAL BASED ON ADAPTIVE WAVELET TRANSFORMATION USING CYCLE SPINNINGAsem Khmag, Abd Rahman Ramli, Syed Abdul Rahman Al-Haddad, Shaiful Jahari Bin HashimThe need for image restoration is encountered in many practical applications. For instance, distortion due to Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) or in some cases the multiplicative (speckle) one can be caused by poor quality image acquisition. Wavelet denoising attempts to remove these types of noise present in the signal while preserving the signal characteristics, regardless of its frequency content. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Dec 2013 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSPECKLE REDUCTION IN ULTRASOUND IMAGES USING NEIGHSHRINK AND BILATERAL FILTERINGR. Vanithamani, G. UmamaheswariSpeckle is a random multiplicative noise which obscures the perception and extraction of fine details in ultrasound images and speckle reduction is necessary to improve the visual quality of ultrasound images for better diagnosis. This study aims at introducing an algorithm by hybridizing bilateral filter with NeighShrink. The bilateral filter is applied before decomposition and after reconstruction of the image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2013 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Enhanced Approach for Medical Brain Image EnhancementJ. Umamaheswari, G. RadhamaniProblem statement: One of the most common degradations in medical images is their poor contrast quality and noise. The DICOM image consists of speckle (multiplicative noise). While the image is enhanced, the multiplicative noise present in the image is also enhanced. Approach: This study describes the hybrid method to improve the image quality of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 27 Jul 2012 · 6,964 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Environmental Noises on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai DialectsSuphattharachai Chomphan, Chutarat ChompunthProblem statement: Fundamental Frequency (F0) is an important speech feature defining the human speech prosody. It is the resultant of the vibration of human’s vocal chords in speech production. In Thai, there are four main dialects spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Environmental noises are also playing an important role … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 9 Mar 2012 · 7,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImage Compression Algorithms Using Intensity Based Adaptive Quantization CodingSaad Al-Azawi, Said Boussakta, Alex YakovlevProblem statement: Low complexity image compression algorithms are necessary for modern portable devices such as mobile phones, wireless sensor networks and high constraint power consumption devices. In such applications low bit rate along with an acceptable image quality are an essential requirements. Approach: This study proposes low and moderate complexity algorithms for colour image compression. Two algorithms will be presented; … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 18 Jan 2012 · 8,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeech Enhancement Algorithm Using Sub band Two Step Decision Directed Approach with Adaptive Weighting factor and Noise Masking ThresholdDeepa Dhanaskodi, Shanmugam ArumugamProblem statement: Speech Enhancement plays an important role in any of the speech processing systems like speech recognition, mobile communication, hearing aid. Approach: In this work, human perceptual auditory masking effect is incorporated into the single channel speech enhancement algorithm. The algorithm is based on a criterion by which the audible noise may be masked rather than being attenuated and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 14 Jun 2011 · 7,126 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Robust Hybrid Approach to Enhance Speech in Mobile Communication SystemsManimegalai Govindan Sumithra, Keppana Gounder Thanuskodi, Bharathi DeepaProblem statement: The received voice signal in mobile communication is often disturbed by background noise and hence there is a need for good noise reduction methods for enhancing Speech. It is well known that denoising is a compromise between the removal of the largest possible amount of noise and the preservation of signal integrity. To address this issue, a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,299 accessesView PDFCite
