Abstract Image processing is becoming more popular because images are being used increasingly in medical diagnosis, biometric monitoring, and character recognition. But these images are frequently contaminated with noise, which can corrupt subsequent image processing stages. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a novel nonlinear filter for removing “salt and pepper” impulsive noise from a complex color image. The new filter is called the Modified Vector Directional Filter (MVDF). The suggested method is based on the traditional Vector Directional Filter (VDF). However, before the candidate pixel is processed by the VDF, the MVDF employs a threshold… More >

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… More >

Abstract In this work, we address the frequency estimation problem of a complex singletone embedded in the heavy-tailed noise. With the use of the linear prediction (LP) property and l₁-norm minimization, a robust frequency estimator is developed. Since the proposed method employs the weighted l₁-norm on the LP errors, it can be regarded as an extension of the l_p-generalized weighted linear predictor. Computer simulations are conducted in the environment of α-stable noise, indicating the superiority of the proposed algorithm, in terms of its robust to outliers and nearly optimal estimation performance.
