This document describes an adaptive Kalman filter implementation for video denoising. It proposes processing video frames independently in the spatial domain and then applying an adaptive temporal Kalman filter to each pixel sequence to reduce complexity. An adaptive Kalman filter is used which can adjust its parameters based on noise statistics variations and detected motions between frames. The algorithm is tested through MATLAB simulation on sample video frames, showing it produces a denoised output with reduced noise while still responding to changes in pixel values over time. The design considerations for FPGA implementation focus on using fixed-point arithmetic and shift operations instead of division to optimize for the FPGA hardware.

Interest in adaptive filters continues to grow as they begin to find practical real-time applications in areas
such as channel equalization, echo cancellation, noise cancellation and many other adaptive signal
processing applications. The key to successful adaptive signal processing understands the fundamental
properties of adaptive algorithms such as LMS, RLS etc. Adaptive filter is used for the cancellation of the
noise component which is overlap with undesired signal in the same frequency range. This paper presents
design, implementation and performance comparison of adaptive FIR filter using LMS and RMS
algorithms. MATLAB Simulink environment are used for simulations
Performance Analysis of Acoustic Echo Cancellation TechniquesIJERA Editor
Mainly, the adaptive filters are implemented in time domain which works efficiently in most of the applications. But in many applications the impulse response becomes too large, which increases the complexity of the adaptive filter beyond a level where it can no longer be implemented efficiently in time domain. An example of where this can happen would be acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) applications. So, there exists an alternative solution i.e. to implement the filters in frequency domain. AEC has so many applications in wide variety of problems in industrial operations, manufacturing and consumer products. Here in this paper, a comparative analysis of different acoustic echo cancellation techniques i.e. Frequency domain adaptive filter (FDAF), Least mean square (LMS), Normalized least mean square (NLMS) &Sign error (SE) is presented. The results are compared with different values of step sizes and the performance of these techniques is measured in terms of Error rate loss enhancement (ERLE), Mean square error (MSE)& Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

Hardware Implementation of Adaptive Noise Cancellation over DSP Kit TMS320C6713CSCJournals
In noisy acoustic environment, audio signal in speech communication from mobile phone, moving car, train, aero plane, or over a noisy telephone channel is corrupted by additive random noise. The noise is unwanted signal and it is desirable to remove noise from original signal. Since noise is random process and varying at every instant of time, we need to estimate noise at every instant to remove it from original signal. There are many schemes for noise removal but most effective scheme to accomplish noise cancellation is to use adaptive filters. In this paper, we have carried out simulations for different adaptive algorithms (LMS, NLMS and RLS) and compared their performance for noise cancellation in noisy environment. Real time implementation of adaptive algorithm over DSP kit (TMS320C6713) is also presented in this paper. Performance of adaptive algorithm over hardware is also presented. Developed system incorporating best performance adaptive filter in any noisy environment can be used for noise cancellation.
Echo Cancellation Algorithms using Adaptive Filters: A Comparative Studyidescitation
An adaptive filter is a filter that self-adjusts its transfer function according to an
optimization algorithm driven by an error signal. Adaptive filter finds its essence in
applications such as echo cancellation, noise cancellation, system identification and many
others. This paper briefly discusses LMS, NLMS and RLS adaptive filter algorithms for
echo cancellation. For the analysis, an acoustic echo canceller is built using LMS, NLMS
and RLS algorithms and the echo cancelled samples are studied using Spectrogram. The
analysis is further extended with its cross-correlation and ERLE (Echo Return Loss
Enhancement) results. Finally, this paper concludes with a better adaptive filter algorithm
for Echo cancellation. The implementation and analysis is done using MATLAB®,
SIMULINK® and SPECTROGRAM V5.0®.
Multiple Sensors Soft-Failure Diagnosis Based on Kalman Filtersipij
Sensor is the necessary components of the engine control system. Therefore, more and more work must do for improving sensors reliability. Soft failures are small bias errors or drift errors that accumulate relatively slowly with time in the sensed values that it must be detected because of it can be very easy to be mistaken for the results of noise. Simultaneous multiple sensors failures are rare events and must be considered. In order to solve this problem, a revised multiple-failure-hypothesis based testing is investigated. This approach uses multiple Kalman filters, and each of Kalman filter is designed based on a specific hypothesis for detecting specific sensors fault, and then uses Weighted Sum of Squared Residual (WSSR) to deal with Kalman filter residuals, and residual signals are compared with threshold in order to make fault detection decisions. The simulation results show that the proposed method can be used to detect multiple sensors soft failures fast and accurately.
DESIGN REALIZATION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF AN ACOUSTIC ECHO CANCELLATIO...sipij
Nowadays, in the field of communications, AEC (acoustic echo cancellation) is truly essential with respect
to the quality of multimedia transmission. In this paper, we designed and developed an efficient AEC based
on adaptive filters to improve quality of service in telecommunications against the phenomena of acoustic
echo, which is indeed a problem in hands-free communications.The main advantage of the proposed algorithm is its capacity of tracking non-stationary signals such as acoustic echo. In this work the acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is modeled using a digital signal
processing technique especially Simulink Blocksets. The algorithm’s code is generated in Matlab Simulink
programming environment. At simulation level, results of simulink implementation prove that module
behavior is realistic when it comes to cancellation of echo in hands free communication using adaptive algorithm.Results obtained with our algorithm in terms of ERLE criteria are confronted to IUT-T recommendation

Rolling Element Bearing Condition Monitoring using Filtered Acoustic Emission IJECEIAES
The defect present in the bearing of a rolling element may affect the performance of the rotating machinery and may reduce its efficiency. For this reason the condition monitoring of a rolling element bearing is very essential. So many measuring parameters are there to diagnose the fault in a rolling element bearing. Acoustic signature monitoring is one of them. Every rolling element bearing has its own acoustic signature when it is in healthy condition and when the bearing get defected then there is a change in its original acoustic signature. This change in acoustic signature can be monitored and analyzed to detect the fault present in the bearing. But the noise present in the acquired acoustic signal may affect the analysis. So the noisy acoustic signal must be filtered before the analysis. In this work the experiment is performed in two stages. In first stage the filtration of the acquired acoustic signal is done by employing the active noise cancellation (ANC) filtering techniques. In second stage the filtered signal is used for the further analysis. For the analysis initially the static analysis is done and then the frequency and the time-frequency analysis is done to diagnose the defect in the bearing. From all the three analysis the information about the defect present in the bearing is well detected.

Random Valued Impulse Noise Elimination using Neural FilterEditor IJCATR
A neural filtering technique is proposed in this paper for restoring the images extremely corrupted with random valued impulse noise. The proposed intelligent filter is carried out in two stages. In first stage the corrupted image is filtered by applying an asymmetric trimmed median filter. An asymmetric trimmed median filtered output image is suitably combined with a feed forward neural network in the second stage. The internal parameters of the feed forward neural network are adaptively optimized by training of three well known images. This is quite effective in eliminating random valued impulse noise. Simulation results show that the proposed filter is superior in terms of eliminating impulse noise as well as preserving edges and fine details of digital images and results are compared with other existing nonlinear filters.

Abstract
Video and image noise filtering is needed in many applications like medical imaging. For real time denoising of video signal ,a 3D
spatio-temporal filter is required. Such a filter is complex and cannot be used for real time implementation. A new processing
algorithm using adaptive filter is discussed in this paper. Here, the video signals are segmented into independent image sequences in
spatial domain. The pixels are processed in temporal domain which reduces the complexity of the design. For this algorithm, the
video signal considered should be free of impulsive noises. An adaptive temporal Kalman filter is proposed which can be used for
real time implementation for temporal processing of video signals. Adaptation is this algorithm is used for motion estimation of
consecutive image sequences. The algorithm proposed is relatively simple, effective and efficient. It is implemented on Xilinx
SPARTAN 3
Keywords: Filter, AR model, Adaptive filtering

1. INTRODUCTION
Image sequences usually get degraded due to the noise. So
filtering technique should be used to denoise it, to get the
original image. In the case of video, we need to carry out
filtering, both spatially and temporally. All these are usually
done with the assumption that image sequences and noise are
stationary and noise can be estimated if signals are stationary.
For this we need to process each frame independently by using
an adaptive spatial filter and filter each pixel in time domain
by using an adaptive temporal algorithm. As we are using real
time processing and the fact that there is no linear phase
restriction on temporal filters, we need to use recursive filters.
Here, an adaptive Kalman filter is used to adjust its parameters
based on the variations in the noise statistics and the detection
of motions in the image sequences. Adaptation in time not
only requires estimation of the noise statistics but also a means
to control the level of filtering when there is a motion
associated to the corresponding pixel in the image sequence.
The usual 3D filtering method is difficult to implement. A
much simpler technique for its implementation is to take a
pixel of an image sequence at a time and denoise it. Then,
repeat the same process for all the pixels of the image
sequence of the video. This technique reduces the complexity
as the method of noise reduction reduces from 3D to a simple
1D.
The Kalman filter is a multiple-input, multiple-output digital
filter that can optimally estimate, in real time, the states of a
system based on its noisy outputs. The Kalman filter filters the
noisy measurements to estimate the desired signals. The
estimates are statistically optimal in the sense that they
minimize the mean-square estimation error.
2.LITERATURE REVIEW
[1] describes the Kalman filter algorithm. As given in [2],
Kalman filter is an optimal data processing algorithm. It
combines all the available measurements of the data and prior
knowledge of the system and devices to produce an estimate
of the desired variables.
Comparison between Kalman filter and least square estimator
is given in [3]. From this, we can see that Kalman filter is
much easier to implement than LS algorithm. In Kalman filter
algorithm, the estimate of the state is recomputed for every
measurement with all the previous measurement data so as to
minimize the estimation error.
Natural signals are usually represented by autoregressive (AR)
models. [4] describes an adaptive system for AR signals noise
enhancement, which comprise of adaptive Kalman filter and a
subsystem for AR parameter estimation. Here, an estimation
of Kalman filter parameters are used and is fed back between
output and estimation parameters.

Usually 3D algorithms are used for removing noise from
video. Standard optimum Kalman filter demands complete
knowledge of the system parameters, input forcing functions
and noise statistics. [5] presents a 3D spatio-temporal Kalman
filter for video as an extension of 2D Kalman filter approach
for images. The filtering is based on the assumption that, in a
noise free video with little motion, each pair of consecutive
frames has relatively high correlation in temporal direction but
any observed noise will be uncorrelated.
[6] gives an idea of using fixed point arithmetic for Kalman
filter parameter calculation.[7] describes methods to tackle the
difficulties for implementing the algorithm in FPGA. Even
though FPGA reduces the computation time compared to
software counterpart, there are many difficulties in
implementation. The major issue among them is limited
memory resources in FPGA.
3.MULTIDIMENSIONAL KALMAN FILTER
For adaptive filtering, the Wiener filter and Kalman filter can
be used to obtain an optimal finite impulse response (FIR)
filter with minimum mean squared error. Kalman filter can be
used to predict data with varying statistics Kalman filter being
applied to a wide range of tracking and navigation problems.
Defining the filter in terms of state space methods also
simplifies the implementation of the filter in the discrete
domain.
3.1.State Space Derivation
The Kalman filter estimates the process state at some time and
then obtains feedback in the form of (noisy) measurements.
The Kalman filter equations can be time update equations and
measurement update equations. The time update equations are
responsible for projecting forward the current state and error
covariance estimates to obtain the a priori estimates for the
next time step. The measurement update equations are
responsible for the feedback—i.e. for incorporating a new
measurement into the a priori estimate to obtain an improved a
posteriori estimate.
3.1.1.Time Update Equations
Xi+1 = ϕXi + Wi (1)
Where; Xi is the state vector of the process at time i
ϕ is the state transition matrix of the process from the state at i
to the state at i+1,and is assumed stationary over time
Wi is the associated white noise process with known
covariance
Pi+1ˊ = ϕPiϕT
+ Q (2)
Where Q = E[WiWi
T
] is the process noise covariance
The time update equations above project the state and
covariance estimates forward from time step i to step i+1
3.1.2. Measurement Update Equations.
Ki = Piˊ HT
(HPiˊ HT
+ R)-1
(3)
(4)
Pi = (I- KiH)Piˊ (5)
During measurement update, the Kalman Gain is first
computed using eqn (3).The estimate of the state is obtained
from eqn (4).The error covariance Pi is estimated by eqn (5)
After completing time and measurement updation once, the
process is repeated with previous estimates to predict the new
estimation values.This feature of kalman filter makes it
recursive in nature and made it more preferred in practical
implementations.
4.THE DESIGNED SYSTEM.
The adaptive filtering technique to be used should have a good
performance and can lend itself for real time implementation.
Kalman filter and Weiner filter have steady state solution if
the noise and signal are stationary. But in this case ,we have
time varying statistics for which kalman filter is the best
choice. Another constrain is that the statistics are unknown.
An adaptive filtering method is preferred as it adjusts the
parameters dynamically. Adaptive kalman filter produces an
optimum estimate of the unknown parameter .So it can be
used for estimating the motion of signal and noise.
Let X(i) represents a pixel of the ith
frame of grayscale video .
Using first order AR modeling, let the ideal noise free pixel of
the same frame be represented as S(i). AR modeling is used
as it is a more realistic and simple model that is usually used
to represent the temporal behavior of pixels in video signals.
Under this assumption, the process and measurement
equations are:
Using these assumption, process and measurement models are
as follows;
1.PROCESS MODEL: The ideal pixel of (i+1)th
frame is
assumed as the sum of ideal pixel of ith
and white independent
zero mean Gaussian noise with variance σ2
w
S(i+1) = aS(i)+W(i),
Here, a is a constant that depends on the signal statistics.
2. MEASUREMENT MODEL: The noisy pixel X(i) have an
independent additive zero mean Gaussian white noise with
variance of σ2
v added to the ideal noise free pixel S(i).
X(i)= S(i) +V(i)

The filter output Y(i) is the estimate of the signal at ith
time .
σ2
(i) represents variance of the estimation error and K(i)
represent the kalman gain.
The algorithm for denising are given below
4.1 KALMAN FILTERING ALGORITHM
Initialize the values of output and variance.The initial value of
variance can be σv
2
START: Update the values of Kalman gain, output and
variance using the equations
K(i) = (6)
Y(i) = K(i).X(i)+a.[1-K(i)].y(i-1) (7)
σ2
(i) = a2
[1-K(i)] σ2
(i-1)+σw
2
(8)
Increment the value of i and execute the loop from START for
the desired number of frames.
Here the parameters are σv
2
,σw
2
and Y(i-1) are unknown.The
parameters are estimated based on optimization of a criterion
function like minimum mean square error (MMSE).The
following instantaneous estimates can be used to achieve fast
and simple implementation:
1. Parameter a , defined by E{X(i)X(i -l)}/E{X2
(i)} , can be
estimated by using
= (9)
The value of a is made constant to make the system stable.
2. Simple estimates of
σv
2
= E{[X(i) - Y(i-1)]2
} (10)
as well as
σw
2
= E{[ Y(i) - Y(i- l )]2
} (11)
are calculated, in turn,
= [X(i)- Y(i-1)]2
(12)
and,
= [Y(i)- Y(i-1)]2
= K2
(13)
While proceeding with the algorithm, the Kalman gain
gradually reduces to a small value from a large value. The
lowest value of Kalman gain is when temporal signal is
stationary. This implies that more filtering occurs as time
advances. But for motion signal, the estimation values does
not converge and results in less noise filtering.
To estimate the motion, the magnitude difference between the
consecutive temporal samples is compared. The assumption
made is that if this difference is greater than a threshold value,
the motion exist. If σv
2
represents the variance of the a
difference, then based on Gaussian noise distribution, it can be
said that a motion is present if Г.
If the test is positive, then the gain calculation in the Kalman
filter can be reinitiated by assuming σ2
(i) = σv
2
. The new gain
value reduces the lagging effect and improves the noise
filtering.
The adaptive algorithm is represented as follows:
4.2. ADAPTIVE ALGORITHM
The output pixel value is initialised to 0 , σ2
(i) and σ2
to σv
2
.
ADAPTIVE: increment the value of i from i=0 using the
following equations
K= (14)
Y(i) = Y(i-1)+K[X(i)-Y(i-1)]; (15)
IF (Difference = )
σw
2=
σv
2
; (16)
σ2
= σv
2
; (17)
ELSE
σw
2
= Kσv
2
; (18)
σ2
(1-K) σ2
+ σw
2
END
Increment the value of i and start execution from ADAPTIVE
to find the consecutive values.
END
Threshold Г should be chosen so that the motion can be
estimated.

Here, the video considered is assumed to be free of impulsive
noise. If impulsive noise is present ,it should be removed by
spatial filtering techniques with the help of spatial filters. A
median filter can serve the purpose. In short, only spatially
filtered noisy frames are given as the input to the adaptive
kalman filter..
5. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Certain constraints have to be considered for both simulation
and implementation.
5.1. Representation Of Data
The data can be represented either as floating point numbers
or as fixed point numbers.
Floating point is a numeral interpretation system in which the
mathematical value of a string of digits uses some kind of
explicit designation of where the radix point is to be placed
relative to that string.
During algorithm development, floating-point numbers are
often used because they represent infinite precision. When it
comes time to realize the algorithm in hardware, floating-point
numbers are not always practical. The solution is to convert
very precise floating-point numbers to less precise fixed-point
numbers.
Here, floating point representation is used for MATLAB
simulation. In VERILOG HDL simulation, 10 bit binary digit
precision is used which give a decimal precision of 4 digits,
resolution of 0.001.
5.2. Component Usage
FPGA have dedicated adders and multipliers. But there are no
dedicated dividers in FPGA platform. So in FPGAs, division
is not synthesizable.
For dividing a number by power of 2 (e.g., 4,64,1024…)
shifting is used. Shift by one unit to right is equivalent to
division by 2.For dividing a number by 4, shift 2 times to right
and so on
Division is frequently used in image processing algorithms,
thus in order to further improve efficiency of FPGAs, it is
reasonable to apply shift divide instead of arbitrary divide if
small error is tolerated.
For this project only onchip memory is used. To save storage
space , the pixels loaded to RAM at one time is restricted and
the data is loaded as a stream from external environment .The
data are not stored inside FPGA,It is send back to the
computer for storage and further processing.
6.SIMULATION RESULTS
6.1. Matlab Simulation Results
The noisy input video from webcam was divided into different
frames using MATLAB. Then one pixel was taken in time
domain and fed as the input of the adaptive Kalman filter. The
adaptive Kalman filter then denoise each pixel in time domain
to get the denoised video.
For simulation, we need to generate a process model and
measurement model. The process model represents the
original pixel in time domain. This is generated by adding a
gaussian noise of small variance (here, variance=1) to a pixel
value (here, 100).
Measurement model represents the noisy pixel in time domain.
It is generated by adding a gaussian noise of higher variance to
the process model (here, variance=25). Its shown in fig 1.This
is fed as the input to the adaptive Kalman filter
Fig 1:Process and Measurement Models
Consider a change in the value of a pixel in time domain, say
from 20 to 200. Its measurement model is the input of the
non-adaptive Kalman filter.
Here, we can observe that it takes some time for the output to
reach the original pixel value (Fig 2).The value of the Kalman
gain and variance first increases and then settles down to a
value. It remains around that value for the rest of the process.

Fig 2: Output,gain and variance in non-adaptive kalman filter
Fig 3: Output, gain and variance in adaptive kalman filter
When the same input is given to an adaptive Kalman filter,
(Fig 3), the output is observed to be denoised. This output
reaches the desired amplitude at the same time as it detects a
threshold greater than or equal to the predefined value. So,
there is no delay, as in the case of non-adaptive Kalman filter
output is observed here. The Kalman gain of the filter
increases to 1 when there the change in magnitude of the
adjacent value of temporal pixels is greater than a threshold.
When Kalman gain increases to 1, the variance decreases and
then settles down to the previous value.Here we can observe
that the variance of the estimation error settles to a value
around 10 from 25, which indicates that the output have less
noise than the input.
For simulation, a video from memory is used. The video is
sampled at 16 fps. All the video frames are of size 97*107.The
parameters used in Kalman filter calculations are
independently stored for every pixel. When passed through an
adaptive Kalman filter, the parameters get updated for every
temporal pixel in different frames.Fig 4 shows noisy and
denoised video frames.
Fig 4. Noisy and denoised video frames
6.2. Verilog Simulation Results
For verilog HDL simulation, value of a temporal pixel from
200 frames of a video was taken from MATLAB. This
floating point number is converted to fixed point number with
10 bits binary digit precision for fractional part. The input to
the FPGA is 19 bits, where MSB represents the sign bit, next 8
bits represent the integer part and the last 10 bits represent the
fractional part.
When the system is in reset state (rst=1), all the parameters a,
σw, σv are assigned its values and the previous values of
variance and output are initialized. When rst=0, for every
clock edge (rising or falling edge), the program jumps from
one state to another, calculating threshold, Kalman gain,
variance of estimation error and output pixel value.
The output of FPGA is 19 bits, where MSB represents the sign
bit, next 8 bits represent the integer part and the last 10 bits
represent the fractional part.
There are mainly 4 blocks, namely, Kalman gain computation,
variance of estimation error computation, threshold
computation and computation of output pixel value.Fig 5 and
6 shows the HDL simulation results of non-adaptive and
adaptive kalman filters .

representations
7. CONCLUSIONS
Adaptive filters are important signal processing tools. The
basic Kalman filter is a linear, discrete-time, finite-
dimensional system, which is endowed with a recursive
structure that makes a digital computer well suited for its
implementation. Adaptive Kalman filter requires much
simpler memory than the general 3D Kalman filter for video
denoising. As only 1 pixel is taken at a time for noise removal,
the complexity greatly reduces i.e. the model reduces to a 1
dimensional model.
A new architecture for VLSI implementation of simplified
adaptive Kalman filter with unknown noise statistics is
designed. The implementation is done on XILINX SPARTAN
3 FPGA.
Some of the ideas for future extension are
• The proposed implementation can be extended to
colour video signals.
• A better system can be implemented as complex
models using advanced Kalman filter techniques for
non-linear applications.
• It can also be extended for coloured noise and
impulsive noises.
