Image composition
Smital, Petr ; Petyovský, Petr (referee) ; Richter, Miloslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with methods of improving the quality of image output of an electron microscope by composing consecutive frames. The thesis contains a brief description of an electron microscope and the problems that deteriorate its image quality, and three basic mathematical algorithms that can be used to remove them. These are the simple averaging method, the method of least squares and the method of vector space. For all of the methods, the thesis describes ways of their implementation, the possibilities of their use and their mutual comparison. This thesis also deals with the problem of so-called superresolution, i.e. exceeding the physical resolution of a sensor using the methods mentioned above, and the problem of electron beam centring.

Implementation of wavelet transform in C++
Valouch, Lukáš ; Hasmanda, Martin (referee) ; Beneš, Radek (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is implementation of wavelet transform algorithm for noise reduction. The noise reduction itself is focused on improving informative capabilities of sonographic (ultrasound) images in medicine. For this purpose, thresholding of detailed coefficients on individual levels of multiresolution analysis was used. Common procedures were not used for searching for the most suitable thresholds of those levels. The alternative concept's design is based on fundamental empirical approach, where the individual thresholds are optimised by evolution algorithms. However, with this algorithmic procedure, more problems manifest regarding the objective evaluation of the success of noise reduction. Because of this, the program uses commonly used parameters such as mean square error of the whole image, linear slope edge approximation, relative contrast of two differently bright and distinct points and the standard deviation of compact surface. Described theoretical knowledge is used in developed application DTWT. It executes multilevel decomposition and reversed reconstruction by discrete time wavelet transform, thresholding of detailed coefficients and final evaluation of performed noise reduction. The developed tool can be used separately to reduce noise. For our purposes, it has been modified in way, that it executed through the component for evolutionary optimization of parameters (Optimize Parameters) in created scenario in RapidMiner program. In the optimization process, this component used evaluation received from DTWT program as fitness function. Optimal thresholds were sought separately for three wavelet families - Daubeschies, Symmlets and Coiflets. The evolution algorithm chose soft threshold for all three wavelet families. In comparison to hard threshold, it is more suitable for noise reduction, but it has tendencies to blur the edges more. The devised method had in most cases greater evaluated success of noise reduction with wavelet transform with threshold search done by evolution algorithms, than commonly used filters. In visual comparison however the wavelet transform introduced some minor depreciating artefacts into the image. It is always about compromise between noise reduction and maximal preservation of image information. Objectively evaluating this dilemma is not easy and is always dependant on subjective viewpoint which in case of sonographic images is that of the attending physician.

Filtering methods for NMR measurements
Nezhyba, Jiří ; Mikulka, Jan (referee) ; Gescheidtová, Eva (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with the wavelet transform and its use in processing and removing noise from images acquired by nuclear magnetic resonance. It defines fundamental terms for this work as mother wavelet or thresholding. Above all, it describes the principle of wavelet transform, thresholding techniques and criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of filtration. It describes the relation between wavelet transforms and digital filter banks. The experimental section describes the designed filtering method for removing noise from an image captured by the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance. We applied to different kinds of mother wavelets. Evaluation of the effectiveness of filtering was performed using the signal to noise ratio, relative contrast and the steepness of the intensity changes in signal intensity. It also discusses the comparison of properties of the image and selecting the mother wavelets based on image characteristics. Images were compared in terms of a histogram, cumulative histogram, k-space and the difference image.

Thresholding rules for noise reduction in sound signals
Ráček, Tomáš ; Schimmel, Jiří (referee) ; Balík, Miroslav (advisor)
The master's thesis focuses on the study of algorithms dealing with noise separation from musical signal. The first chapter is an introduction into methods which are used for noise removal of the musical signal. Furthermore, this chapter describes theory to the issue, specifically a description of transformations for converting from time to frequency domain, and finally thresholding method of spectral coefficients is explained in detail. The aim of the second chapter is an analysis of the proposed algorithm, which is engaged in testing. From the beginning fast algorithms of gradual transformation are described and then a detailed description of the algorithm as a whole. Later, this chapter deals with the selection of audio recordings and with preparation of these recordings for the actual testing. Finally, testing of audio samples is presented in the third chapter of this thesis. This chapter also concludes comparison of individual transformations, achieved results and review of algorithm.

Filtering methods for MR images processing
Pláněk, Jiří ; Smékal, Zdeněk (referee) ; Gescheidtová, Eva (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with wavelet transformation and its signal and image noise reduction application method. Significant parameters problems as a wavelet type, a threshold technique selection, a threshold level and a level analysis selection for successful signal and noise image filtering are described. A relation between wavelet transformation and digital bank filter is used by anti-noise and sub-bandwidth filtration. A part of the master´s thesis is focused on nuclear magnetic resonation, where jaw-joint image is processed. Jaw joint image noise reduction filtration methods are used in experimental part of the master´s thesis. Consequently, filtration methods improve a jaw joint image quality, which helps a doctor with patient health state condition. Different types of wavelets were tested and in different application methods order. Filtration methods results were visually compared; therefore any conclusion comparison has subjective matter. Accordingly, only doctor is able to resolve which filtration method is convenient to use to determine patient health state.

Noise reducing of aircraft engines
Čirka, Martin ; Kaddour, Mirvat (referee) ; Šplíchal, Miroslav (advisor)
Nowadays, aircraft transportation influences everyday life in our society, but not only by its advantages of efective traveling, but also by its negative impact on environment, therefore us, people. Due to this reason, I decided to concern myself about noise reducing of aircraft engines in this thesis. Research in this field helps to develop comfort of traveling, but also very important fact is noise impact on people living in surroundings near airports. To understand problem to the roots, first we need to know how is noise actually defined. First part of my bachelor’s thesis contains describtion of sound and noise. I’m also focusing on methods for noise measurement and actions, which are used for noise reduction. Greatest success have been made with Variable Geometry Chevrons, which can adjust to different flying conditions and not just reduce noise, but also can keep thrust of the engine at the same level and is also reducing fuel consumtion during level flight. In fourth chapter, you’ll come to know about regulations, which were made to adopt standards and recommended practices concerning aircraft polution. Also very important factor for setting up new standards is process of aircraft testing, so I summed up principles and procedures, which are usedby aviation organizations.
