Blind Deconvolution of Ultrasonic Signals Using High-Order Spectral Analysis and Wavelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 axial resolution.

Sparsity enhancement for blind deconvolution of ultrasonic signals in nondestructive testing application.
The received signal in ultrasonic pulse-echo inspection can be modeled as a convolution between an impulse response and the reflection sequence, which is the impulse characteristic of the inspected object. Deconvolution aims at approximately inverting this process to improve the time resolution so that the overlap between echoes from closely spaced reflectors becomes small. This paper presents ...
متن کاملBlind Separation of Uncorrelated Sources
A well-known fact in blind deconvolution is that if the unknown source signal is white (temporally) and the unknown channel filter is minimum phase, it is possible to determine the inverse filter (equalizer) by evaluating simply the power spectral density (PSD) of the received signal. For blind source separation, however, a similar special case, equivalent to the situation in blind deconvolutio...
متن کاملWavelet-based deconvolution of ultrasonic signals in nondestructive evaluation
In this paper, the inverse problem of reconstructing reflectivity function of a medium is examined within a blind deconvolution framework. The ultrasound pulse is estimated using higher-order statistics, and Wiener filter is used to obtain the ultrasonic reflectivity function through wavelet-based models. A new approach to the parameter estimation of the inverse filtering step is proposed in th...
متن کاملDeconvolution of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation signals using higher-order statistics
In ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of materials, pulse echo measurements are masked by the characteristics of the measuring instruments, the propagation paths taken by the ultrasonic pulses, and are corrupted by additive noise. Deconvolution operation seeks to undo these masking effects and extract the defect impulse response which is essential for identification. In this contributio...
متن کاملA Natural Gradient Convolutive Blind Source Separation Algorithm for Speech Mixtures
In this paper, a novel algorithm for separating mixtures of multiple speech signals measured by multiple microphones in a room environment is proposed. The algorithm is a modification of an existing approach for density-based multichannel blind deconvolution using natural gradient adaptation. It employs linear predictors within the coefficient updates and produces separated speech signals whose...
