Extending Guided Filters Through Effective Utilization of Multi-Channel Guide Images Based on Singular Value Decomposition by Kazu Mishiba

“…Building on this insight, we proposed a new filtering method that selectively suppresses or enhances these components through functions that respond to their eigenvalues. The proposed SVD-based Guided Filter offers improved control over edge preservation and noise reduction compared to the original guided filter and its improved methods, which often struggle to balance these tasks. …”

Testing procedure for determining isothermal properties of the freight car body intended for the transport of perishable freights in the absence of specialized climate chamber by D. O. Davydov

“…For each such parameter, a sequence of actions has been developed to bring the actual test conditions closer to the requirements of the ATP, and methods that allow adjusting the test results are justified taking into account the reduction of the specified parameters to the requirements of the ATP.The proposed methodology of heat engineering tests of isothermal cars will allow:• conduct heat engineering tests of thermos and refrigerated cars with high accuracy of obtaining the final result and the basic requirements of ATP;• create a mechanism for control and examination of isothermal cars and containers under comparable conditions.The methodology is of interest to organizations involved in the thermotechnical testing of isothermal cars, as well as for organizations entrusted with the functions of monitoring the thermotechnical parameters of isothermal cars.…”
