The DYNAMAP project has been approved for co-financing by the European Commission through the Life+ 2013 program last May 2014. DYNAMAP aims at the installation of a prototype system in the municipalities of Rome and Milan. It is based on pervasive low-cost hardware network for noise measurement together with some artificial intelligence algorithm to perform the automatic creation of real time ...

We study the transition to coherence of an ensemble of globally coupled chaotic maps allowing for ensembles of nonidentical maps and for noise. The transition coupling strength is determined from a kind of transfer function of the perturbation evolution. We present analytical results, and we test these results using numerical experiments for several large systems consisting of ensembles of many...

Background: Noise pollution is one of the common physical harmful factors in many work environments. The current study aimed to assess the personal and environmental noise level and project the sound map of an Iranian tire manufacturing complex using Surfer V.14 and Noise At Work tools. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the curing hall [including curing, sandblast,...

background : studies have shown that noise pollution has harmful effects on human health. the sound of traffic is the main source of noise pollution in cities. the purpose of this study was to determine noise pollution using a geographical information system (gis) in the main streets of kashan, iran. methods: in this study, 180 noise samples were collected from 20 regions of the main streets in...

the radial trace transform was introduced by the stanford exploration project many years ago (ottolini, 1979 and claerbout, 1983), primarily for use in migration and imaging applications. it has been shown subsequently, because of its particular geometry, to be very useful for wavefield separation (claerbout, 1983) and coherent noise attenuation (henley, 1999). the radial trace transform, unlik...

The concept and implementation of the system for creating dynamic noise maps in PL-Grid infrastructure are presented. The methodology of dynamic acoustical maps creating is introduced. The concept of noise mapping, based on noise source and propagation models, was developed and employed in the system. The details of incorporation of the system to the PL-Grid infrastructure are presented. The re...

Depth maps obtained from commercially available structured-light stereo based depth cameras, such as the Kinect, are easy to use but are affected by significant amounts of noise. This paper is devoted to a study of the intrinsic noise characteristics of such depth maps, i.e. the standard deviation of noise in estimated depth varies quadratically with the distance of the object from the depth ca...
