However, it remains to be a difficult problem due to the intrinsic noisy nature of ultrasound images. In this paper, an edge detecting algorithm is proposed, which combines an improved directional median filter and early vision model together. And this improved directional medial filtering method is put forward to reduce the blurring caused by the median filter and to depress the influence of noise caused by the directional median filter. The early vision model has been proved in many literatures to be highly effective for edge detecting, even in a very noisy image. In our way, the simpleness and the speediness of the median filter band the antinoise and texture-sensitive characters of the early vision model together efficiently and the experimental results show that out approach is promising.","PeriodicalId":386903,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat.

Periodic signals may be interpreted as a sum of sine waves with multiple frequencies, the Fourier series.

This method has been applied to the problem of determining the parameter of a voltage waveform (capacitor discharge) registered in a High Voltage laboratory. The amplitude and time constant have been accurately determined, although a lot of noise was present on the measured data.","PeriodicalId":386903,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat.
