In this paper we present an approach to modeling the non-linearities of analog electronic components using time-variant digital linear filters. The filter coefficients are computed at every sample depending on the current state of the system. With this technique we are able to accurately model an analog filter including a nonlinear inductor with a saturating core. The value of the magnetic perm...

A new operator for restoring digital images corrupted by impulse noise is presented. The proposed operator is a hybrid filter obtained by appropriately combining a new decision based switching median filter Canny Edge Detector and a Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The internal parameters of the neuro-fuzzy network are adaptively optimized by training. The most distinctive feature...

This paper proposes a novel digital signal processing implementation of vector directional distance rational hybrid filter for impulsive, Gaussian and mixed noise suppression and fine-details preservation in color images. The Implementation was done, initially, based on digital signal processing , which proves the need to a large execution time for filtering based on vector approach. Then, we p...

In recent years significant advances have been made in the development of nonlinear image processing techniques. Such techniques are used in digital image filtering, image enhancement, and edge detection. One of the most important families of nonlinear image filters is based on order shztktics. The widely used median filter is the best known filter of this family. Nonlinear filters based on ord...

This paper presents a novel filter with low computational demand to address the problem of orientation estimation of a robotic platform. This is conventionally addressed by extended Kalman filtering of measurements from a sensor suit which mainly includes accelerometers, gyroscopes, and a digital compass. Low cost robotic platforms demand simpler and computationally more efficient methods to ad...

Digital Images are contaminated by noise during acquisition and/or transmission over communication channel. Eliminating impulse noise and uniform noise from the images without damaging their boundaries and fine details is an important and a challenging task in the image processing applications. A nonlinear technique based on decision mechanism for suppressing impulse noise and uniform noise fro...

In most adaptive signal processing applications, system linearity is assumed and adaptive linear filters are thus used. The traditional class of supervised adaptive filters rely on error-correction learning for their adaptive capability. The kernel method is a powerful nonparametric modeling tool for pattern analysis and statistical signal processing. Through a nonlinear mapping, kernel methods...

Previous grouped-nonlinearity formulations for Wave Digital Filter (WDF) modeling of nonlinear audio circuits assumed that nonlinear (NL) devices with memoryless voltage–current characteristics were modeled as voltage-controlled current sources (VCCSs). These formulations cannot accommodate nonlinear devices whose equations cannot be written as NLVCCSs, and they cannot accommodate circuits with...
