To alleviate excessive smoothing of high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regions which are correspond to the structural features of MR images by using classical anisotropic diffusion (AD) filter. A novel AD filter called SNR controlled anisotropic diffusion is proposed. In this filter, an adaptive diffusivity function which is based on the correction factor of MR images was constructed. This adapti...

Neutron radiography (NR) can investigate the diffusion mechanisms of moisture transport within the silica gel material. Dynamic neutron radiography (DNR) possesses the possibility to investigate the moisture profile inside the silica gel filter. The technique explained the relationship between moisture movement and time. This study investigated the diffusion mechanisms (absorption and infiltrat...

one of the most important parts of range doppler algorithm is range cell migration correction. in this part, an interpolation approach is used to estimate data in their correct location. the interpolation method has a great influence on the quality of ultimate image. in this paper the interpolation method and different ways for increasing its accuracy was discussed. the performance of different...

Anisotropic diffusion filtering is widely used for MR image enhancement. However, the anisotropic filter is nonoptimal for MR images with spatially varying noise levels, such as images reconstructed from sensitivity-encoded data and intensity inhomogeneity-corrected images. In this work, a new method for filtering MR images with spatially varying noise levels is presented. In the new method, a ...

The Geometrically Intrinsic Nonlinear Recursive Filter, or GI Filter, is designed to estimate an arbitrary continuous-time Markov diffusion process X subject to nonlinear discrete-time observations. The GI Filter is fundamentally different from the much-used Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), and its secondorder variants, even in the simplest nonlinear case, in that: ¥ It uses a quadratic function o...

this paper presents a methodology for design of instrumentation sensor networks in non-linear chemical plants. the method utilizes a robust extended kalman filter approach to provide an efficient dynamic data reconciliation. a weighted objective function has been introduced to enable the designer to incorporate each individual process variable with its own operational importance. to enhance the...

background: hemodialysis is a process of removing waste and excess fluid from blood when kidneys cannot function efficiently. it often involves diverting blood to the filter of the dialysis machin to be cleared of toxic substances. fouling of pores in dialysis membrane caused by adhesion of plasma protein and other toxins will reduce the efficacy of the filtre. objective: in this study, the inf...

Linear interpolation has been adapted in many signal and image processing applications due to its simple implementation and low computational cost. In standard linear interpolation the kernel is the second order B-spline   2 β t . In this work we show that the interpolation error can be remarkably diminished by using the time-shifted B-spline   2 β t Δ as an interpolation kernel. We verify ...
