This paper proposes a new method for rejecting the Continuous Wave Interferences (CWI) in the Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The proposed filter is made by cascading an adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and a Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) based filter. Although adaptive FIR filters are easy to implement and have a linear phase, they create self-noise in the rejection of...

A method for contrast enhancement is proposed. The algorithm is based on a local and image-dependent exponential correction. The technique aims to correct images that simultaneously present overexposed and underexposed regions. To prevent halo artifacts, the bilateral filter is used as the mask of the exponential correction. Depending on the characteristics of the image (piloted by histogram an...

annihilation or reduction of each kind of noise blended in correct data signals is a field that has attracted many researchers. it is a fact that fuzzy theory presents full capability in this field. fuzzy filters are often strong in smoothing corrupted signals, whereas they have simple structures. in this paper, a new powerful yet simple fuzzy procedure is introduced for sharpness reduction in ...

This paper proposes a simple and efficient approach for reducing Motion Artifact (MA) in corrupted PPG (Photo Plethysmo Graphic) Signals based on AS-LMS Adaptive Filter. The performance of pulse oximeters is highly influenced by motion artifact in PPG signals. To generate the noise reference signal for an adaptive filtering process, instead of using any additional hardware such as accelerometer...

In this paper, an effective image demosaicking algorithm, which is based on the correlation among the three primary colors, is proposed for mosaic image with Bayer color filter array (CFA). To reduce the distortion and improve the reconstruction quality, the proposed interpolation method makes full use of the brightness information and the edge information. We design several filters with size o...

Systems with simultaneously operating transmitters and receivers require an excellent isolation between receive and transmit paths for preventing the transmit signal to cause saturation and intermodulation distortion in the sensitive receiver part. Furthermore, masking of the receive signal by spectral transmit signal components falling into the receive band has to be avoided. In case that freq...

To improve the positioning accuracy and robustness of indoor positioning technology, a fingerprint positioning method is proposed based on the Kalman filter and the probability weighted Bayes algorithm. Firstly, the optimal estimation of signal strength is calculated using the prediction and correction model of Kalman filter, and then the position is estimated using the posterior probability we...

The vulnerability of civil GPS receiver to interference may be intentional or unintentional. Among all types of interference, replay attack intended as the most dangerous intentional one. The signal structure of replay attack is almost the same with the satellite signal. The interference effects can be reduce with the design of an appropriate filter in the receiver. This paper presents two meth...

one of the common problems in reflection seismic records in the land is the existence of surface waves with high amplitude and low frequency which cause the most important parts of reflective signals to be masked. therefore, it is necessary to attenuate them by processing and acquisition methods. as it is impossible to attenuate the surface waves completely, and sometimes it is likely to damage...
