The aim of this study was to increase knowledge on the genetic background noise reactivity in dogs, with a heritability based owner-collected data standard poodles’ degree fear sudden loud noises and fireworks. Previous studies have shown significant breed differences, we expected find for reactivity. 1148 poodles are included study. estimated heritabilities between 0.09 0.16. Reaction firework...

Digital image is often degraded by many kinds of noise during the process of acquisition and transmission. To make subsequent processing more convenient, it is necessary to decrease the effect of noise. There are many kinds of noises in image, which mainly include salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on median filters to remove the salt and pepper noise. After summarizin...
