Abstract Mammography is considered a significant image for accurate breast cancer detection. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) contributes to classifying the query mammography image and retrieves similar mammographic images from the database. This CBIR system helps a physician to give better treatment. Local features must be described with the input images to retrieve similar images. Existing methods are inefficient and inaccurate by failing in local features analysis. Hence, efficient digital mammography image retrieval needs to be implemented. This paper proposed reliable recovery of the mammographic image from the database, which requires the removal of noise using Kalman filter and scale-invariant feature transform… More >

Abstract This paper presents the development of a dynamic Active Noise Control (ANC) algorithm aimed towards reducing the broadband noise inside the helmet earcups of a fighter aircraft pilot helmet. The dynamic ANC involves a Variable Step-Size Griffiths (VSSG) FxLMS algorithm to attenuate noise entering directly through helmet, a LMS based adaptive noise canceller to attenuate noise entering through the pilot microphone, and energy detectors for failure protection and optimized battery power usage. The algorithms are implemented on Texas Instruments’ TMS320C6748 processor and are tested in a helmet ANC experimental setup. More >

Abstract Electric vehicle (EV) charging load is greatly affected by many traffic factors, such as road congestion. Accurate ultra short-term load forecasting (STLF) results for regional EV charging load are important to the scheduling plan of regional charging load, which can be derived to realize the optimal vehicle to grid benefit. In this paper, a regional-level EV ultra STLF method is proposed and discussed. The usage degree of all charging piles is firstly defined by us based on the usage frequency of charging piles, and then constructed by our collected EV charging transaction data in the field. Secondly, these usage degrees… More >

Abstract Clustering is a crucial method for deciphering data structure and producing new information. Due to its significance in revealing fundamental connections between the human brain and events, it is essential to utilize clustering for cognitive research. Dealing with noisy data caused by inaccurate synthesis from several sources or misleading data production processes is one of the most intriguing clustering difficulties. Noisy data can lead to incorrect object recognition and inference. This research aims to innovate a novel clustering approach, named Picture-Neutrosophic Trusted Safe Semi-Supervised Fuzzy Clustering (PNTS3FCM), to solve the clustering problem with noisy data using neutral and refusal degrees… More >

Abstract The so-called T-shaped reducing tees are typically used to divide, change and control (to a certain extent) the flow direction in pipe networks. In this study, the Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings (FW-H) equation and the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) methods are used to simulate the flow-induced noise related to T-shaped reducing tees under different inlet flow velocities and for different pipe diameter ratios. The results show that the maximum flow velocity, average flow velocity, and vorticity in the branch pipe increase gradually as the related diameter decreases. Strong vorticity and secondary flows are also observed in the branch pipe, and the associated… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract An effective communication application necessitates the cancellation of Impulsive Noise (IN) from Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), which is widely used for wireless applications due to its higher data rate and greater spectral efficiency. The OFDM system is typically corrupted by Impulsive Noise, which is an unwanted short-duration pulse with random amplitude and duration. Impulsive noise is created by humans and has non-Gaussian characteristics, causing problems in communication systems such as high capacity loss and poor error rate performance. Several techniques have been introduced in the literature to solve this type of problem, but they still have many issues that… More >

Abstract Biomedical image processing acts as an essential part of several medical applications in supporting computer aided disease diagnosis. Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is a commonly utilized imaging tool used to save glioma for clinical examination. Biomedical image segmentation plays a vital role in healthcare decision making process which also helps to identify the affected regions in the MRI. Though numerous segmentation models are available in the literature, it is still needed to develop effective segmentation models for BT. This study develops a salp swarm algorithm with multi-level thresholding based brain tumor segmentation (SSAMLT-BTS) model. The presented SSAMLT-BTS model initially employs… More >

Abstract Noise pollution tends to receive less awareness compared to other types of pollution, however, it greatly impacts the quality of life for humans such as causing sleep disruption, stress or hearing impairment. Profiling urban sound through the identification of noise sources in cities could help to benefit livability by reducing exposure to noise pollution through methods such as noise control, planning of the soundscape environment, or selection of safe living space. In this paper, we proposed a self-attention long short-term memory (LSTM) method that can improve sound classification compared to previous baselines. An attention mechanism will be designed solely to… More >

Abstract Medical image segmentation is a crucial process for computer-aided diagnosis and surgery. Medical image segmentation refers to portioning the images into small, disjointed parts for simplifying the processes of analysis and examination. Rician and speckle noise are different types of noise in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that affect the accuracy of the segmentation process negatively. Therefore, image enhancement has a significant role in MRI segmentation. This paper proposes a novel framework that uses 3D MRI images from Kaggle and applies different diverse models to remove Rician and speckle noise using the best possible noise-free image. The proposed techniques consider the… More >
