Error Analysis and Ultrasonic Scattering Amplitude Estimation Using the Wiener Filter with Limited Prior Information Introduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE), flaw characterization is inhibited by the effects of the measurement system and by acoustic noise due to non-flaw related scattering of the sound. The Wiener filter can be formulated to optimally remove the effects of the measurement system and suppress the noise; however, prior information must be available abeut the neise and flaw distributions, respectively. The objective of this research is to develop an approach for the optimal implementation of the wiener filter given prior noise information but no prior flaw information.

Blind Deconvolution of Ultrasonic Signals Using High-Order Spectral Analysis and Wavelets
Defect detection by ultrasonic method is limited by the pulse width. Resolution can be improved through a deconvolution process with a priori information of the pulse or by its estimation. In this paper a regularization of the Wiener filter using wavelet shrinkage is presented for the estimation of the reflectivity function. The final result shows an improved signal to noise ratio with better a...

In this paper a new method for noise removal from singletrial event-related potentials recorded with a multi-channel electroencephalogram is addressed. An observed signal is separated into multiple signals with a multi-channel Wiener filter whose coefficients are estimated based on parameter estimation of a probabilistic generative model that locally models the amplitude of each separated signa...

متن کاملEmg Amplitude Estimation Using Adaptive Whitening
4.35k1.86 15.48f3.21 Abstract Previous research showed that whitening the surface electromyogram (EMC) can improve EMG amplitude estimation. However, conventional linear-filter whitening fails at low EMG amplitude levels, perhaps due to additive background noise in the measured EMG signal. This paper describes an adaptive whitening technique, effective at low EMG levels, that cascades a non-ada...
متن کاملDetermination of Fiber Direction in High Angular Resolution Diffusion Images using Spherical Harmonics Functions and Wiener Filter
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) MRI is a noninvasive imaging method of the cerebral tissues whose fibers directions are not evaluated correctly in the regions of the crossing fibers. For the same reason the high angular resolution diffusion images (HARDI) are used for estimation of the fiber direction in each voxel. One of the main methods to specify the direction of fibers is usage of the spher...
