Ultrasonic imaging is a powerful nondestructive evaluation (NDE) tool for flaw characterization. This thesis discusses the signal processing techniques developed for ultrasonic imaging of flaws in composite laminates. Commonly used time-domain signal processing techniques have problems including poor resolution, dependence on operator's experiences and subjectivity. Some transform-domain proces...

Direct methods for restoration of images blurred by motion are analyzed and compared. The term direct means that the considered methods are performed in a one-step fashion without any iterative technique. The blurring point-spread function is assumed to be unknown, and therefore the image restoration process is called blind deconvolution. What is believed to be a new direct method, here called ...

The paper presents basic concepts of the discrete system theory from the viewpoint of Banach algebras and shows that some Banach algebras of sequences are not only suitable mathematical framework for the multidimensional discrete system theory but also open ways to new models of discrete systems and lead to hitherto unknown methods of homomorphic signal processing and deconvolution. Three Banac...

Successful wavelet estimation is an essential step for seismic methods like impedance inversion, analysis of amplitude variations with offset and full waveform inversion. Homomorphic deconvolution has long intrigued as a potentially elegant solution to the wavelet estimation problem. Yet a successful implementation has proven difficult. Associated disadvantages like phase unwrapping and restric...

The quality of speech depends on how the speech is processed before it reaches the ears of the perceiving person. Considered in this work is the most common kind of processing the transmission of sound in a closed room. Room acoustics play an important role in the assessment of speech quality. The distance between two points in the room can be regarded as a digital transfer function. We subject...

depth estimation of the top of the bedrock in the sedimentary basins is the main goal in geomagnetic explorations. the depth estimation of this kind of anomalies can be done using different methods, in the cases where the bedrock is magnetized. in this article, we use the standard euler deconvolution method and its results to interpret the magnetic data from the reshm region in semnan province ...
