This algorithm combines the nonsubsampled contourlet transform and the mathematical morphology. First, the source image is decomposed by the nonsubsampled contourlet transform into multi-scale and multi-directional subbands. Then the edges in the high-frequency and low-frequency sub-bands are respectively extracted by the dualthreshold modulus maxima method and the mathematical morphology operator. Finally, the edges from the high- frequency and low-frequency sub-bands are integrated to the edges of the source image, which are refined, and isolated points are excluded to achieve the edges of the source image. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress noise, eliminate pseudo-edges and overcome the adverse effects caused by uneven illumination to a certain extent. Compared with the traditional methods such as LoG, Sobel, and Carmy operators and the modulus maxima algorithm, the proposed method can maintain sufficient positioning accuracy and edge details, and it can also make an improvement in the completeness, smoothness and clearness of the outline.展开更多

The method includes reconstructing the signal from the wavelet modulus maxima. For the purpose of maxima selection, the spatially selective noise filtration technique was used to distinguish modulus maxima produced by signal from the one created by noise. To test the method, sodium spectrum measured at a wide slit was deconvolved. He-Ne spectrum measured at the corresponding slit width was used as slit function. Sodium measured at a narrow slit was used as the reference spectrum. The deconvolutton result shows that this method can enhance the resolution of the degraded spectrum greatly.展开更多

An adaptive speckle suppression and edge enhancementmethod based on Nakagami distribution is presented. The statistics of log-compressed echo im-ages is derived for Nakagami distribution. An adaptive filter based on local statistical propertyof speckle is designed. The stick technique that utilizes sticks with different sizes and variousorientations is applied to locally approximate certain linear features of image. The local regionis a stick instead of a usual window, the orientation of sticks is decided by hypothesis test op-timizing method and the length of sticks is obtained by region growing technique. Performanceof the new method has been tested on the phantom and ultrasound images of pig muscle andechocardiographic. The results show that the technique effectively reduces the speckle noise whilepreserving and enhancing the tissue edge and resolvable details.展开更多

In this scheme, the composition scale was determined simply by the WTMM amplitude variation with the growth of the decomposition scale at 30 ℃, and the signal WTMM was obtained by the wavelet decomposition modulus on every decomposition scale based on the modulus propagating difference between the signal and noise. Then, we reconstructed the signal using the signal WTMM. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective for de-noising, allowing for a temperature error decrease of about 1 ℃ at 40 ℃ and 50℃ comparing to the original data.展开更多

However, the performance of TRP is degraded in an uncertain environment. A technique based on the Maximin criterion is pro- posed for enhancing the robustness of TRP in a waveguide with uncertain water depth. The relationship between the water depth and the focal spot translation is examined based on the waveguide-invariant theory. Then the time reversal transmissiou scheme with the Maximin criterion is performed to maximize the minimum transmission power on a target of interest. At the receiving end, coherent summation operation is carried out over the received data by a reception focusing bank. If it is neces- sary to enhance the target echo further, the iterative time reversal can be considered where the target echo corresponding to the first time reversal transmission is regarded as a secondary source. Numerical simulations and experimental results of the target localization in a waveguide tank have verified the effectiveness of robust TRP.展开更多

(2015) to investigate the limiting distribution of a stationary Kaxdar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. The main results consist of both the law of large numbers and the asymptotic fluctuation for the free energy as the model size tends to infinity. In particular, we find the explicit values (which may depend on model parameters) of normalizing constants in the fluctuation. This shows that such a mixture model is in the KPZ university class.展开更多
