linear filters are used for a wide range of magnetic science including noise attenuation, spatial derivatives, upward and downward continuation and reduction to the pole. the majority of these filters are spatially-invariant, meaning that the filter has a constant wave number response over the whole signal. in contrast, many signals which encountered real problems such as magnetic signals, typi...

Wind power parallel operation is an effective way to realize the large scale use of wind power, but the fluctuations of power output from wind power units may have great influence on power quality, hence a new method of power smoothing and capacity optimized allocation based on hybrid energy storage technology is proposed in terms of the uncontrollable and unexpected characteristics of wind spe...

We study a general class of nonlinear and shift-varying smoothing filters that operate based on averaging. This important class of filters includes many well-known examples such as the bilateral filter, nonlocal means, general adaptive moving average filters, and more. (Many linear filters such as linear minimum mean-squared error smoothing filters, Savitzky–Golay filters, smoothing splines, an...

Buffer tanks are widely used within the process industry to prevent flow variations from being directly propagated throughout a plant. The capacity of the tank is used to smoothly transfer inlet flow upsets to the outlet. Ideally, the tank thus works as a low pass filter where the available tank capacity limits the achievable flow smoothing. For infrequently occurring upsets, where the system h...

Optimization-based filtering smoothes an image by minimizing a fidelity function and simultaneously preserves edges by exploiting a sparse norm penalty over gradients. It has obtained promising performance in practical problems, such as detail manipulation, HDR compression and deblurring, and thus has received increasing attentions in fields of graphics, computer vision and image processing. Th...

A novel technique for multi-scale smoothing of a freeform 3-D surface is presented. Complete triangulated models of 3-D objects are constructed at our center [4] and using a local parametrization technique, are then smoothed using a 2-D Gaussian filter. Our method for local parametrization makes use of semigeodesic coordinates as a natural and efficient way of sampling the local surface shape. ...
