State estimators are crucial components of anomaly detectors that used to monitor cyber-physical systems. Many frequently-used state susceptible model risk as they rely critically on the availability an accurate state-space model. Modeling errors make it more difficult distinguish whether deviations from expected behavior due anomalies or simply a lack knowledge about system dynamics. In this r...

Conditional homodyne detection of quadrature squeezing is compared with standard nonconditional detection. Whereas the latter identifies nonclassicality in a quantitative way, as a reduction of the noise power below the shot noise level, conditional detection makes a qualitative distinction between vacuum state squeezing and squeezed classical noise. Implications of this comparison for the real...

Introduction: In recent years, modern microscopic imaging in parallel with digital image processing techniques, have facilitated computerized semen analysis. However, in these methods, distinguishing sperms from other semen particles can be hampered by low contrast of microscopic images and the possibility of neighboring sperms touching each other. Materials and Methods: This article introduced...

A new switching median filter is proposed for denoising of gray-scale images, extremely corrupted by salt-and-pepper noise. The proposed model for noise removal is a multiscale detection based adaptive median filter. This method consists of mainly two parts, namely, the thresholding based multiscale noise detection and the filtering. The detection of impulse noise is carried out in two stages. ...
