The method described here performs blind deconvolution of the beamforming output in the frequency domain. To provide accurate blind deconvolution, sparsity priors are introduced with a smoothed `1/`2 regularization term. As the mean of the noise in the power spectrum domain depends on its variance in the time domain, the proposed method includes a variance estimation step, which allows more rob...

The rapid accumulation of continuous paleomagnetic and rock magnetic records acquired from pass-through measurements on superconducting rock magnetometers (SRM) has greatly contributed to our understanding of the paleomagnetic field and paleo-environment. Pass-through measurements are inevitably smoothed and altered by the convolution effect of SRM sensor response, and deconvolution is needed t...

Aims. We analyze the robustness of H–deficient post–AGB tracks regarding previous evolution of their progenitor stars and the constitutive physics of the remnants. Our motivation is a recent suggestion of Werner & Herwig (2006) that previous evolution should be important in shaping the final post–AGB track and the persisting discrepancy between asteroseismological and spectroscopical mass deter...

Hormone secretion is an intrinsically discontinuous process characterized by a pul-satile pattern. In this paper we describe a fuzzy deconvolution method for pulsatile hormone secretion signals. The secretion signal is modeled as a Poisson process. The fuzzy deconvolution method is based on fuzzy identiication by using learning signals, mountain clustering and optimal output predefuzziication. ...

This study uses 35 pesticides spiked in spinach extracts at the 50 ppb level to find the optimal AMDIS deconvolution settings. Additional advantages of using deconvolution versus MSD ChemStation, to find more compounds in an extract are also discussed. The detectability of compounds in a complex matrix is significantly improved with deconvolution. This can also be viewed as better or increased ...

Two approaches to the combination of robust variational deconvolution with positivity constraints are considered. The first approach modifies a standard robust variational deconvolution method by carrying out a gradient descent with respect to a multiplicative perturbation, which can also be considered as gradient descent in a hyperbolic metric. The second approach is based on the representatio...

Deconvolution is an image restoration technique which improves image contrast, resolution and signal to noise ratio. In modern optical microscopy and biological research deconvolution is becoming a fundamental processing step which allows for better image analysis. Deconvolution remains however a challenging task as the result depends strongly on the algorithm chosen, the parameters settings an...
