In this letter, a novel adaptive filter, the adaptive two-pass median (ATM) filter based on support vector machines (SVMs), is proposed to preserve more image details while effectively suppressing impulse noise for image restoration. The proposed filter is composed of a noise decision maker and two-pass median filters. Our new approach basically uses an SVM impulse detector to judge whether the input pixel is noise. If a pixel is detected as a corrupted pixel, the noise-free reduction median filter will be triggered to replace it. Otherwise, it remains unchanged. Then, to improve the quality of the restored image, a decision impulse filter is put to work in the second-pass filtering procedure. As for the noise suppressing both fixed-valued and random-valued impulses without degrading the quality of the fine details, the results of our extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed filter outperforms earlier median-based filters in the literature. Our new filter also provides excellent robustness at various percentages of impulse noise.

Lower pass threshold (≥93%) for critical congenital heart disease screening at high altitude prevents repeat screening and reduces false positives.
J Perinatol

Department of Pediatrics, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, CA, USA.
Objective: We evaluated first screen pass rate for two pass thresholds for critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) oxygen saturation (SpO) screening at higher altitude.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort of 948 newborns underwent CCHD screening near sea-level (n = 463) vs 6250 ft altitude (n = 485) over 3 years. Standard SpO pass threshold ≥95% and lower SpO pass threshold ≥93% (high-altitude screen) were applied to first measurements to compare pass frequencies.
Iodine quantification in limited angle tomography.

Purpose: To develop and test the feasibility of a two-pass iterative reconstruction algorithm with material decomposition designed to obtain quantitative iodine measurements in digital breast tomosynthesis.
Methods: Contrast-enhanced mammography has shown promise as a cost-effective alternative to magnetic resonance imaging for imaging breast cancer, especially in dense breasts. However, one limitation is the poor quantification of iodine contrast since the true three-dimensional lesion shape cannot be inferred from the two-dimensional (2D) projection.
Two-pass alignment improves novel splice junction quantification.

Motivation: Discovery of novel splicing from RNA sequence data remains a critical and exciting focus of transcriptomics, but reduced alignment power impedes expression quantification of novel splice junctions.
Results: Here, we profile performance characteristics of two-pass alignment, which separates splice junction discovery from quantification. Per sample, across a variety of transcriptome sequencing datasets, two-pass alignment improved quantification of at least 94% of simulated novel splice junctions, and provided as much as 1.
A Two-Pass Exact Algorithm for Selection on Parallel Disk Systems.
Proc IEEE Symp Comput Commun
July 2013
Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA.
Numerous OLAP queries process selection operations of "top N", median, "top 5%", in data warehousing applications. Selection is a well-studied problem that has numerous applications in the management of data and databases since, typically, any complex data query can be reduced to a series of basic operations such as sorting and selection. The parallel selection has also become an important fundamental operation, especially after parallel databases were introduced.

In this paper, we present an adaptive two-pass rank order filter to remove impulse noise in highly corrupted images. When the noise ratio is high, rank order filters, such as the median filter for example, can produce unsatisfactory results. Better results can be obtained by applying the filter twice, which we call two-pass filtering.
