ultrasound images suffer of multiplicative noise named speckle. different de-speckling algorithms run either in spatial domain or in transformed domain. in this paper, an adaptive filter in spatial domain according to assume the nakagami distribution as the statistic of log-compressed ultrasound images is used. for de-speckling in transformed domain, the non-sub sampled shearlet transform is us...

in this paper, a new approach based on game theory has been proposed to multi responses problem optimization. game theory is a useful tool for decision making in the conflict of interests between intelligent players in order to select the best joint strategy for them through selecting the best joint desirability. present research uses the game theory approach via definition of each response as ...

The noise in reconstructed slices of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) is of unknown distribution, non-stationary, oriented and difficult to distinguish from main structural information. This requires the development of special post-processing methods based on the local statistical evaluation of the noise component. This paper presents an adaptive method of reducing noise in CT images employing th...

the volterra model is widely used for nonlinearity identification in practical applications. in this paper, we employed volterra model to find the nonlinearity relation between electroencephalogram (eeg) signal and the noise that is a novel approach to estimate noise in eeg signal. we show that by employing this method. we can considerably improve the signal to noise ratio by the ratio of at le...

in this paper, the effects of scintillation phenomena on bit error rate (ber) and signal to noise ratio (snr), which are essential characteristics in free space optical (fso) communication system, are studied. until now various methods have been introduced to decrease ber and increase the link's reliability. optimizing snr is one of the fundamental methods to decrease ber value. intensity fluct...

OBJECTIVE The present study was aimed to examine the relationship between psychophysical performance in temporal and spectral resolution and Mandarin tone recognition in noise by cochlear-implant (CI) listeners. DESIGN Seventeen Nucleus-24 implant users, 10 postlingually deafened and 7 prelingually deafened, participated in the experiments. A 3-interval, forced-choice procedure was used to me...
