To improve the detection of dim and small targets in infrared (IR) images containing high-intensity cloud clutter, a novel adaptive background suppression method is proposed. By using three-dimensional cooperative filtering and differential calculation, the different and complex background clutter is suppressed. To obtain the optimal parameters for the background suppression algorithm, an adaptive...Show More
In the Vision-based systems for traffic surveillance, background suppression is usually used for vehicle detection.

A novel pixel readout circuit using a switched-capacitor integrator mode background suppression technique is proposed for long wavelength infrared (LWIR) focal plane arrays. It has ultra-low background suppression non-uniformity (BSNU) and no additional shot noise when suppressing the background current for improving signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range. The BSNU can be as low as 529ppm for a c...Show More
Hands-free devices are often used in a noisy and reverberant environment. Therefore, the received microphone signal does not only contain the desired near-end speech signal but also interferences such as room reverberation that is caused by the near-end source, background noise and a far-end echo signal that results from the acoustic coupling between the loudspeaker and the microphone. These inter...Show More
Dim infrared targets often have low recognition accuracy in complex environments, because of its small size and low brightness.

Distributed optical fiber acoustic sensing (DAS) is an emerging acquisition technology in seismic exploration. However, DAS records are always affected by the complex background noise, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In addition, the DAS background noise has different properties from the noise existing in conventional seismic data. Thus, conventional denoising methods may degrade t...Show More
Directed against the problem of detecting small infrared target in complex background, this paper presents an adaptive background prediction algorithm based on improved robust M-estimation. In the proposed algorithm, target pixels and observed noise form the mixed interference of background estimation. In order to better estimate background, the authors of this paper introduce a correction factor ...Show More
Accurately and robustly detecting infrared (IR) small targets plays an essential role in IR search and tracking (IRST) systems against complex backgrounds. However, the low signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) feature target, also known as the dim target, is more similar to the local background region, making it prone to being misdetected as background or buried in clutter interferences, ultimately leadi...Show More
There is no obvious shape and texture information of the infrared dim and small target in the air background, which is easy to be interfered by complex background clutter, so it brings great difficulty to target detection and tracking. A preprocessing algorithm based on bilateral filtering is proposed according to the characteristics of infrared dim and small target image in this paper. Firstly, T...Show More
In low-voltage power line communication, the persistence of coloured background noise seriously affects the signal transmission quality of power line communication, so it is particularly important to suppress coloured background noise.

To improve the linearity and provide tight control of the detector bias, a buffered direct injection (BDI) ...Show More
It is known that the performance of adaptive clutter suppression may be reduced seriously in a heterogeneous background, due to the lack of enough training samples to exactly obtain the optimum weight. Furthermore, a background will be further heterogeneous with the improving of range resolution. In this paper, we propose an improved adaptive clutter suppression method based on multi-look processi...Show More

Firstly, despite attention mechanism has made great progress in current state-of-the-art ReID methods...Show More
Most traditional hyperspectral image (HSI) anomaly detection (AD) algorithms often consider the spectral difference between the anomaly and its background pixels, ignoring the local spatial structure information. An Adaptive Multi-layer Structure for hyperspectral image anomaly detection is proposed to handle this problem. This new algorithm not only calculates the spectral dimension difference be...Show More
Hadamard-encoded multi-pulses (HEM) transmit has recently been utilized for tissue background suppression in ultrasound contrast imaging to enhance contrast-to-tissue ratio (CTR). Nonetheless, second harmonic component in HEM transmit results in residual tissue background after decoding and thus compromises detection of contrast microbubbles. Theoretically, high-order HEM transmit can produce harm...Show More
The widespread screen sharing poses a great challenge in the visual quality control of industrial applications, as there is a significant difference between the visual quality perception of natural content (NC) and screen content (SC) images (or videos) during acquisition, compression, distribution, and display. Apart from the foreground distortion, artifacts appeared in the smooth background of S...Show More
Recently, the resolution of ultrasound imaging has been dramatically increased using ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM), by localizing the spatially isolated microbubbles (MBs). However, owing to the poor penetration and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of plane wave (PW) imaging, it could be challenging to accurately differentiate the isolated MB signal from the background noise. In this stu...Show More
A microphone array can be employed to localize dominant acoustic sources in a given noisy environment. This capability is successfully used in good signal to noise ratio (SNR) conditions but its accuracy decreases considerably in the presence of other background noise sources. In order to counteract this effect, a novel approach that combines the information provided by a Gaussian energy detector ...Show More
An interference suppression algorithm is proposed for canceling the spatially correlated background noise and interference in EEG/MEG source localization applications. Rather than using the standard prewhitening approach, the proposed algorithm attempts to directly null interference using a projection operator obtained from a set of secondary, control-state data. The use of direct interference can...Show More
