Effective noise removal has become a hot topic in image denoising research while preserving important details of an image. An adaptive threshold image denoising algorithm based on fitting diffusion is proposed. Firstly, the diffusion coefficient in the diffusion equation is improved, and the fitting diffusion coefficient is established to overcome the defects of texture detail loss and edge degradation caused by excessive diffusion intensity. Then, the threshold function is adaptively designed and improved so that it can automatically control the threshold of the function according to the maximum gray value of the image and the number of iterations, so as to further preserve the important details of the image such as edge and texture. A neural network is used to realize image denoising because of its good learning ability of image statistical characteristics, mainly by the diffusion equation and deep learning (CNN) algorithm as the foundation, focus on the effects of activation function of network optimization, using multiple feature extraction technology in-depth networks to study the characteristics of the input image richer, and how to better use the adaptive algorithm on the depth of diffusion equation and optimization backpropagation learning. The training speed of the model is accelerated and the convergence of the algorithm is improved. Combined with batch standardization and residual learning technology, the image denoising network model based on deep residual learning of the convolutional network is designed with better denoising performance. Finally, the algorithm is compared with other excellent denoising algorithms. From the comparison results, it can be seen that the improved denoising algorithm in this paper can also improve the detail restoration of denoised images without losing the sharpness. Moreover, it has better PSNR than other excellent denoising algorithms at different noise standard deviations. The PSNR of the new algorithm is greatly improved compared with the classical algorithm, which can effectively suppress the noise and protect the image edge and detail information.

The class FORMULA[s]∘G consists of Boolean functions computable by size- s De Morgan formulas whose leaves are any Boolean functions from a class G. We give lower bounds and (SAT, Learning, and pseudorandom generators ( PRG s )) algorithms for FORMULA[n 1.99 ]∘G, for classes G of functions with low communication complexity . Let R (k) G be the maximum k -party number-on-forehead randomized communication complexity of a function in G. Among other results, we show the following: • The Generalized Inner Product function GIP k n cannot be computed in FORMULA[s]° G on more than 1/2+ε fraction of inputs for s=o(n 2 /k⋅4 k ⋅R (k) (G)⋅log⁡(n/ε)⋅log⁡(1/ε)) 2 ). This significantly extends the lower bounds against bipartite formulas obtained by [62]. As a corollary, we get an average-case lower bound for GIP k n against FORMULA[n 1.99 ]∘PTF k −1 , i.e., sub-quadratic-size De Morgan formulas with degree-k-1) PTF ( polynomial threshold function ) gates at the bottom. Previously, it was open whether a super-linear lower bound holds for AND of PTFs. • There is a PRG of seed length n/2+O(s⋅R (2) (G)⋅log⁡(s/ε)⋅log⁡(1/ε)) that ε-fools FORMULA[s]∘G. For the special case of FORMULA[s]∘LTF, i.e., size- s formulas with LTF ( linear threshold function ) gates at the bottom, we get the better seed length O(n 1/2 ⋅s 1/4 ⋅log⁡(n)⋅log⁡(n/ε)). In particular, this provides the first non-trivial PRG (with seed length o(n)) for intersections of n halfspaces in the regime where ε≤1/n, complementing a recent result of [45]. • There exists a randomized 2 n-t #SAT algorithm for FORMULA[s]∘G, where t=Ω(n\√s⋅log 2 ⁡(s)⋅R (2) (G))/1/2. In particular, this implies a nontrivial #SAT algorithm for FORMULA[n 1.99 ]∘LTF. • The Minimum Circuit Size Problem is not in FORMULA[n 1.99 ]∘XOR; thereby making progress on hardness magnification, in connection with results from [14, 46]. On the algorithmic side, we show that the concept class FORMULA[n 1.99 ]∘XOR can be PAC-learned in time 2 O(n/log n) .

At present, there are many shortcomings in the discontinuity of wavelet threshold function and the constant threshold of different decomposition layers and the constant error it produced. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of wavelet filters are studied and analyzed by mathematical modeling. An improved wavelet threshold function with adjustable parameters is proposed. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to find the optimal parameters of the improved threshold function in a background noise environment. The improved wavelet threshold function is combined with Bayesian threshold method to obtain the threshold based on Bayesian criterion, which makes the threshold adaptive in different layers and overcomes the shortcomings of fixed threshold. Finally, the speech signal with optimal wavelet coefficients is obtained after reconstruction. Compared with the traditional threshold function, Simulation results show that the improved threshold function achieves precise notch denoising, effectively retains the singularity and eigenvalues of the signal, and reduces the signal distortion.

The muzzle response is the main feature affecting the firing accuracy of weapons. To research the muzzle response characteristics of small unmanned ground vehicles with small arms (SUGVsSA) during shooting, this paper designs a test method that combines an inertial measurement system (IMS) with a high-speed photogrammetric system (HSPS) to measure the muzzle response. That is, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is fixed onto the gun body to record the three-dimensional angular motion of the barrel; meanwhile, a high-speed camera is used to capture the characteristic markers of the unmanned ground vehicle from the side. After data processing, the muzzle response curves during four consecutive firings when the vehicle is running at different speeds and firing angles are obtained. Considering the presence of noise in muzzle response signals, the wavelet threshold de-noising (WTD) algorithm based on a novel variable threshold function is used to de-noise the test signal. The processing results demonstrate that the WTD algorithm based on the novel variable threshold function can not only suppress noise in the muzzle response signal but also retain the local details of the signal. The combination of the IMS and HSPS complements the muzzle response data and can comprehensively and accurately reflect the muzzle response characteristics of SUGVsSA. As the vehicle speed and firing angle increase, the muzzle vibration intensifies, only when the vehicle speed is 0.3 m/s, and the muzzle maximum elevation angle displacement after each firing decreases when it is stationary. The results presented in this paper may provide a workable reference for understanding the muzzle response characteristics of SUGVsSA and evaluating the firearm compatibility of other unmanned systems.

In recent years, image filtering has been a hot research direction in the field of image processing. Experts and scholars have proposed many methods for noise removal in images, and these methods have achieved quite good denoising results. However, most methods are performed on single noise, such as Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, multiplicative noise, and so on. For mixed noise removal, such as salt and pepper noise + Gaussian noise, although some methods are currently available, the denoising effect is not ideal, and there are still many places worthy of improvement and promotion. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a filtering algorithm for mixed noise with salt and pepper + Gaussian noise that combines an improved median filtering algorithm, an improved wavelet threshold denoising algorithm and an improved Non-local Means (NLM) algorithm. The algorithm makes full use of the advantages of the median filter in removing salt and pepper noise and demonstrates the good performance of the wavelet threshold denoising algorithm and NLM algorithm in filtering Gaussian noise. At first, we made improvements to the three algorithms individually, and then combined them according to a certain process to obtain a new method for removing mixed noise. Specifically, we adjusted the size of window of the median filtering algorithm and improved the method of detecting noise points. We improved the threshold function of the wavelet threshold algorithm, analyzed its relevant mathematical characteristics, and finally gave an adaptive threshold. For the NLM algorithm, we improved its Euclidean distance function and the corresponding distance weight function. In order to test the denoising effect of this method, salt and pepper + Gaussian noise with different noise levels were added to the test images, and several state-of-the-art denoising algorithms were selected to compare with our algorithm, including K-Singular Value Decomposition (KSVD), Non-locally Centralized Sparse Representation (NCSR), Structured Overcomplete Sparsifying Transform Model with Block Cosparsity (OCTOBOS), Trilateral Weighted Sparse Coding (TWSC), Block Matching and 3D Filtering (BM3D), and Weighted Nuclear Norm Minimization (WNNM). Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm is about 2–7 dB higher than the above algorithms in Peak Signal-Noise Ratio (PSNR), and also has better performance in Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Structural Similarity (SSIM), and Feature Similarity (FSIM). In general, our algorithm has better denoising performance, better restoration of image details and edge information, and stronger robustness than the above-mentioned algorithms.

Abstract Image denoising is essential to extract the information contained in an image without errors. A technique of using both wavelets and evolutionary computing tools is proposed to denoise and to improve the image quality. An adaptive thresholding-based wavelet denoising technique in the threshold function is coordinated by novel social group optimization (SGO) and accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) is proposed. The simulation oriented experimentation is taken out employing MATLAB and the analysis is carried out using the image property metrics similar to peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE) and other structural similarity index metrics (SSIM).

Abstract. Collection efficiency transfer functions that compensate for wind-induced collection loss are presented and evaluated for unshielded precipitation gauges. Three novel transfer functions with wind speed and precipitation fall velocity dependence are developed, including a function from computational fluid dynamics modelling (CFD), an experimental fall velocity threshold function (HE1), and an experimental linear fall velocity dependence function (HE2). These functions are evaluated alongside universal (KUniversal) and climate-specific (KCARE) transfer functions with wind speed and temperature dependence. Transfer function performance is assessed using 30 min precipitation event accumulations reported by unshielded and shielded Geonor T-200B3 precipitation gauges over two winter seasons. The latter gauge was installed in a Double Fence Automated Reference (DFAR) configuration. Estimates of fall velocity were provided by the Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS). The CFD function reduced the RMSE (0.08 mm) relative to KUniversal (0.20 mm), KCARE (0.13 mm), and the unadjusted measurements (0.24 mm), with a bias error of 0.011 mm. The HE1 function provided a RMSE of 0.09 mm and bias error of 0.006 mm, capturing the collection efficiency trends for rain and snow well. The HE2 function better captured the overall collection efficiency, including mixed precipitation, resulting in a RMSE of 0.07 mm and bias error of 0.006 mm. These functions are assessed across solid and liquid hydrometeor types and for temperatures between −22 and 19 ∘C. The results demonstrate that transfer functions incorporating hydrometeor fall velocity can dramatically reduce the uncertainty of adjusted precipitation measurements relative to functions based on temperature.
