A Novel Dehazing Algorithm Based on Median Guide Filter for Traffic Video

Aiming at the problem that the edge preserving effect of the existing improved bilateral filtering algorithm in the process of dealing with the haze weather traffic images is not ideal, and the algorithm is time consuming and computationally inefficient, which is unacceptable in the traffic video defogging. Thus, this paper proposed a new algorithm based on median guide filter for this target. In the full paper, we explain in some detail about median guide filter; in this abstract, we just add some pertinent remarks to listing the title of each section of this paper. The six sections of this paper are:introduction(section 0), traffic image degradation model in fog and haze weather(section 1), guide filter(section 2), the design of median guide filter(section 3), Optimization of transmittance estimation(section 4), experimental result(section 5), conclusion(section 6). In section 2, we introduce the basic principle of guide filter. In section 3, we propose median guide filter and the formulas of algorithm are deduced and point out the deficiency of the traditional algorithm. In section 4, we introduce a simple method to optimize transmittance estimation. In section 5, In order to verify the effect of defog, we perform a simulation on MATLAB, the analyze of simulation results, indicates that our median guide filter algorithm can not only guarantee the effectiveness of defog, but also ensure the efficiency of calculation.

A New Hybrid PSS Optimization Method Based on Improved Active Set Algorithm

This paper proposes a new hybrid optimization method for the phase-frequency characteristics of the double input power system stabilizer (PSS) based on the improved active set algorithm. This method takes the effect of the filtering section optimization on the parameter improvement into account, and the optimized model focuses on the minimum residual sum of squares between the actual and the target phase-frequency characteristics. The result shows that the improved parameters obtained from the proposed method provide much better phase-frequency characteristics than the widely used engineering parameters. The comparison between the proposed method and the typical commercial software indicates the universal superiority of the proposed method. And the studies on the impact of considering the filter section optimization on the phase-frequency improvement show that taking the filter section optimization into account will be beneficial for the phase-frequency improvement, though in application to the PSS2A model and the PSS2B model there are some differences. The achievements obtained in this paper provide a significant reference for the practical PSS parameter modification and improvement.

Broadband Input Block of Radio Receiver for Software-Defined Radio Devices

In the paper a cost-effective input block of the SDR receiver for 0.9 — 2.4 GHz frequency band built of capacitive-tuned selective amplifier and broadband Vivaldi antenna is presented. The applied selective amplifier consists of three identical sections of tunable filters and two stages of monolithic broadband amplifiers. The single filter section proposed by the authors, due to its ability to absorb parasitic inductances of varicap diodes, simplifies usage of encapsulated varicap diodes in design of tunable in broad band selective filters dedicated to input stages of the receivers. Moreover, proposed filter section has small variation of in-band insertion loss in comparison to varicap-tuned filters built of coupled transmission lines which are commonly applied in input blocks of the microwave receivers. The described selective amplifier could be easily integrated on a single substrate with the Vivaldi antenna which is a cost effective way of fabrication of the tunable in broad band input block of a receiver that has desired gain, selectivity and directivity of the antenna.
