• Authors: Fabian Nemazi and Jon Nordby
• Abstract summary: This work investigates how to identify the source of impulsive noise events using a pair of wireless noise sensors. One sensor is placed at a known noise source, and another sensor is placed at the noise receiver. To avoid privacy issues, the approach uses on-edge preprocessing that converts the sound into privacy compatible spectrograms.

• Abstract: This work investigates how to identify the source of impulsive noise events using a pair of wireless noise sensors. One sensor is placed at a known noise source, and another sensor is placed at the noise receiver. Machine learning models receive data from the two sensors and estimate whether a given noise event originates from the known noise source or another source. To avoid privacy issues, the approach uses on-edge preprocessing that converts the sound into privacy compatible spectrograms. The system was evaluated at a shooting range and explosives training facility, using data collected during noise emission testing. The combination of convolutional neural networks with cross-correlation achieved the best results. We created multiple alternative models using different spectrogram representations. The best model detected 70.8\% of the impulsive noise events and correctly predicted 90.3\% of the noise events in the optimal trade-off between recall and precision.

  Dynamic visual sensors (DVS) are characterised by a large amount of background activity (BA) noise. It is difficult to distinguish between noise and the cleaned sensor signals using standard image processing techniques. A new technique is presented to characterise BA noise derived from the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA)

• Robustness Enhancement in Neural Networks with Alpha-Stable Training Noise [0.0]
  We explore the possibility of stronger robustness for non-Gaussian impulsive noise, specifically alpha-stable noise. By comparing the testing accuracy of models trained with Gaussian noise and alpha-stable noise on data corrupted by different noise, we find that training with alpha-stable noise is more effective than Gaussian noise. We propose a novel data augmentation method that replaces Gaussian noise, which is typically added to the training data, with alpha-stable noise.

  We present the first fully unsupervised deep learning-based denoiser capable of handling imaging noise that is row-correlated. Our approach uses a Variational Autoencoder with a specially designed autoregressive decoder. Our method does not require a pre-trained noise model and can be trained from scratch using unpaired noisy data.

  This paper considers real noise approximated by heteroscedastic Gaussian/Poisson Gaussian distributions with in-camera signal processing pipelines. We propose a novel conditional filter in which the optimal kernels for different feature positions can be adaptively inferred by local features from the image and the noise map. Also, we bring the thought that alternatively performs noise estimation and non-blind denoising into CNN structure, which continuously updates noise prior to guide the iterative feature denoising.

  This paper aims to devise a generalized maximum likelihood (ML) estimator to robustly detect signals with unknown noise statistics. In practice, there is little or even no statistical knowledge on the system noise, which in many cases is non-Gaussian, impulsive and not analyzable. Our framework is driven by an unsupervised learning approach, where only the noise samples are required.

  We develop a new textbfadaptive noise imitation (ADANI) algorithm that can synthesize noisy data from naturally noisy images. To produce realistic noise, a noise generator takes unpaired noisy/clean images as input, where the noisy image is a guide for noise generation. Coupling the noisy data output from ADANI with the corresponding ground-truth, a denoising CNN is then trained in a fully-supervised manner.
