Theoretical and experimental analysis of phase noise in semiconductor lasers biased below threshold by Iker Pascual de Zulueta, Angel Valle

“…Additive and multiplicative noise models predictions are compared with measurements of the phase noise with a coherent receiver using a 90 ^∘ optical hybrid. We develop a novel method to extract the phase noise directly from our measurements, that in contrast to the usual direct method is not based on the analysis of the phase noise difference. …”

The influence of selected risk factors on the hearing threshold level of noise exposed employees by Adam DUDAREWICZ, Esko TOPPILA, Małgorzata PAWLACZYK-ŁUSZCZYŃSKA, Mariola ŚLIWIŃSKA-KOWALSKA

“…In the analysis, the distribution of hearing level of each subgroup was compared to the predicted one which the standard calculation method described in ISO 1999:1990. For each of the considered risk factors, the difference between measured and calculated hearing level distribution was used to establish, by the least square method, a noise dose related correction square function for the standard method. …”

Vibe++ background segmentation method combining MeanShift clustering analysis and convolutional neural network by Zihao LIU, Xiaojun JIA, Sulan ZHANG, Zhiling XU, Jun ZHANG

“…To solve problems of noise points and high segmentation error for image shadow brought by traditional Vibe+ algorithm, a novel background segmentation method (Vibe++) based on the improved Vibe+ was proposed.Firstly, binarization image was acquired by using traditional Vibe+ algorithm from surveillance video.The connected regions were marked based on the region-growing domain marker method.The area threshold was obtained with difference characteristics of boundary area, the connected regions below threshold were treated as disturbing points.Secondly, five different kernel functions were introduced to improve the traditional MeanShift clustering algorithm.After improving, this algorithm was fused effectively with partitioned convolutional neural network.Finally, program of classification of trailing area, non-trailing area and trailing edge area in the resulting image was performed.Position coordinates of the trailing area were calculated and confirmed, and the trailing area was quickly deleted to obtain the final segmentation result.This segmentation accuracy was greatly improved by using the proposed method.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve segmentation accuracy of more than 98% and has good application effect and high practical value.…”
