Highlighting display of geologic bodies based on directivity filtering

To make a geologic body more outstanding, it is necessary to preserve edges when filtering. For this reason, a filtering method based on anisotropic diffusion is introduced. The key point of this method is that diffusion filtering will be made along the edge while diffusion is forbidden in the direction perpendicular to the edge, so the filtering has directionality. When doing anisotropic diffusion filtering, parameters like diffusion coefficient and threshold have great impacts on the results, so the anisotropic diffusion model parameters are discussed, the diffusion coefficient equation is introduced, and the diffusion threshold selection criterion is derived and analyzed. In addition, this method was used with the diffusion coefficient equation＇s proper diffusion threshold to highlight the tidal channel geobodies in the XX area, sand body in the YY area, and faults in the ZZ area. The good delineation results prove that the diffusion threshold selection criterion introduced in this paper is reasonable.

Directional Filtering Due to Mesospheric Wind Shear on the Propagation of Acoustic-gravity Waves

Gravity waves with periods close to the Brunt-V(a|¨)is(a|¨)l(a|¨) period of the upper troposphere are often observed at mesopause altitudes as short period,quasi-monochromatic waves.The assumption that these short period waves originate in the troposphere may be problematic because their upward propagation to the mesosphere and lower thermosphere region could be significantly impeded due to an extended region of strong evanescence above the stratopause.To reconcile this apparent paradox,an alternative explanation is proposed in this paper.The inclusion of mean winds and their vertical shears is sufficient to allow certain short period waves to remain internal above the stratopause and to propagate efficiently to higher altitudes.A time-dependent numerical model is used to demonstrate the feasibility of this and to determine the circumstances under which the mesospheric wind shears play a role in the removal and directional filtering of short period gravity waves. Finally this paper concludes that the combination of the height-dependent mean winds and the mean temperature structure probably explains the existence of short period,quasi-monochromatic structures observed in airglow images of mesopause region.

Directional Filter for SAR Images Based on Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform and Immune Clonal Selection

A directional filter algorithm for intensity synthetic aperture radar （SAR） image based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform （NSCT） and immune clonal selection （ICS） is presented. The proposed filter mainly focuses on exploiting different features of edges and noises by NSCT. Furthermore, ICS strategy is introduced to optimize threshold parameter and amplify parameter adaptively. Numerical experiments on real SAR images show that there are improvements in both visual effects and objective indexes.

The digital mapping produced with satellite image of the Zhongshan Station area in Antarctica

Ice and snow domint the land features in Antarctica. The great brightness and poorcontrast of ice and snow and streaking noise in satellite image make the procedure of image processing difficult. On the other hand however, the contrast between bare rock land/sea water and ice/snow is so high that the details of image will be overcompressed.In the light of characteristics of satellite image in Antarctica, a filtering to remove streaking noise has adn discussed. Based on automatic identify classification to enhance the details of objects and the method and theory of digital rectification of satellite image with ground control points measured from field survey are also presented.

The combined FSS-SPRT method for detection and tracking of low SNR point targets

For the detection and tracking of dim point targets with SNR 〈 2 dB, the combined SPRT and FSS method is given to accomplish detection in whicb likelihood testing are carried out twice to prune constantly. Firstly, the SPRT is developed aiming at the heuristic segments formed by correlation analysis. In order to avoid missing detection the threshold is chosen much lower. Secondly, by adding samples and choosing the one most similar to the heuristic segment to make state estimation FSS is implemented. This time we choose a higher threshold. Moreover in preprocessing the compound kernel estimation is designed to depress varying background clutter. Multiple experimental sequences validate that the method is more suitable for the dim targets detection and tracking compared with the scheme choosing the higher intensity pixel in tracking. It not only has perfect detection performance but also can greatly enhance tracking performance.

Incorporation of Reduced Full Adder and Half Adder into Wallace Multiplier and Improved Carry-Save Adder for Digital FIR Filter

Improvement of digital FIR filter is vital in the field of Digital Signal Processing in order to reduce the area, delay and power. Multiplication and Accumulation (MAC) unit of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter has been designed using efficient multiplier and adder circuits for optimized APT (Area,Power and Timing) product. In this paper, the design of direct form FIR filter with efficient MAC unit has been presented. Initially, full adder and half adder structures are shrunk down by reducing number of gates. These compact full adder and half adder structures are incorporated into Wallace Multiplier and Improved Carry-Save Adder. The proposed 16-bit Carry-Save Adder has been improved by splitting into four parallel phases. Consequently the delay of enhanced Carry- Save Adder is reduced. Generation of carry output is performed using number of OR gates in a sequential manner. All these enhanced architectures are incorporated into the Digital FIR Filter to reduce the area, delay and power utilization.
