The conventional technique involves the empirical division of the data into a number of gates and the determination of time-invariant deconvolution filters for each gate. In the second technique, the deconvolution filter is recomputed after each time increment from a fixed-length data gate sliding along the trace. This scheme has the advantage that no a priori segmentation of the data is needed.

Dispersed seismic signals have been obtained over a period of 16 years, between 1967 and 1982, at the five Iberian stations having long-period instruments. In our study, we have considered many earthquakes thus obtaining a fairly good path coverage of most of the peninsula for two-station Rayleigh wave velocity measurements. In all cases, the approach azimuths of the wavefronts were carefully checked. Several digital filtering techniques have been employed to removed the effects of multipathing and modal contamination, and to isolate the fundamental mode from Rayleigh wavetrains. Thus, we have obtained good estimates for both phase and group velocities. A time-variable filter has reduced the influence of noise and removed higher mode interference. Multiple filtering is then used to compute group velocity. Frequency-domain Wiener deconvolution is used to compute the interstation phase velocity. The determined average Rayleigh wave velocities reveal differences in the propagation conditions of the seismic energy across the peninsula. A mapping of velocities for various periods of reference, together with a mapping of errors in velocity, are the basis for obtaining the Rayleigh wave velocity distribution in the peninsula. Theoretical 2-D layered earth models are obtained by joint inversion of phase and group velocity dispersion curves using the stochastic inverse operator. In our inversion scheme, we use velocities corrected for anelastic effects. Finally, a 3-D mapping of S velocity is performed. This study shows important regional features of the deep structure of Iberia; we see small lateral inhomogeneities and also two low-velocity layers: one with shear velocities usually ranging from 4.23 to 4.31 km s-1 directly under the Moho, and another, the asthenosphere, with a negative velocity gradient for depths between 81 and 181 km, terminated at the bottom by a sharp discontinuity.

Also, the northern region of the peninsula has never been investigated due to the lack of seismological stations. With the ILIHA data set now available, it is possible to investigate the northern part of Iberia from quality digital records. To efficiently remove higher-mode interference and to improve isolation of the fundamental-mode Rayleigh wave from the seismograms, time-variable filtering is employed. Once the signal is filtered, multiple filtering is then used to compute group velocities at each station. The interstation Rayleigh-wave group velocity can thus be easily calculated. Frequency-domain Wiener deconvolution is used to determine the interstation phase velocity. We carried out inversion of velocity dispersion data containing both Rayleigh-wave phase velocities and group velocities according to the generalized inversion theory by means of the stochastic inverse operator. The theoretical 2-D Earth models determined by joint inversion allow us to obtain for the first time the distribution of the shear-wave velocity both laterally and with depth for the northern Iberian region, and to emphasize the main features of the crust-mantle structure of this area.

The installation of the NARS array on Iberian territory for a period of one year, has provided a greater station density than was previously available with the very few permanent long-period seismological stations installed on the peninsula. The NARS array also provided quality digital records, and increased the path coverage for two-station surface wave velocity measurements. Fundamental mode Rayleigh waves recorded at broadband stations belonging to this array have been analyzed to produce phase and group velocity dispersion curves for the period range 10-90 s. With the dataset now available, the elastic structure beneath the Iberian Massif has been investigated in terms of the shear velocity distribution as a function of depth. Time-variable filtering is employed to remove higher mode interference efficiently and to improve isolation of the fundamental mode Rayleigh wave from the seismograms. Multiple filtering is then used to compute group velocities at each station. The interstation Rayleigh wave group velocity can thus be easily calculated. Frequency-domain Wiener deconvolution is used to determine the interstation phase velocity. We perform inversion of velocity dispersion data containing both Rayleigh wave phase velocities and group velocities according to the generalized inversion theory by means of the stochastic inverse operator. The theoretical models for the lower crust and uppermost mantle beneath the Iberian Massif obtained by joint inversion, show a continental lithosphere with a thickness of 81 km. The crustal and subcrustal velocities are greater than in other areas of the Iberian Peninsula. The asthenosphere appears as a layer 100 km thick defined by very low velocities when compared with the rest of the peninsular area. Both the lithosphere and the asthenosphere exhibit a low velocity channel. In the lithosphere a subcrustal low velocity channel has velocity constrained between 4.33 and 4.62 km s-1. In the asthenosphere the low velocity channel is constrained between 4.13 and 4.36 km s-1.

In this paper we have complemented a previous study of the northern half of the lberian Peninsula with a study of the southern half of the peninsula based on a detailed analysis of Rayleigh wave dispersion. Now we present the first shear velocity contour maps at different subcrustal depths. Quality digital records provided by the NARS array have been used. Standard techniques, as multiple filtering and time-variable filtering, are employed to efficiently remove higher mode interference and improve isolation of the fundamental mode Rayleigh wave from the seismograms, and thus to calculate the interstation Rayleigh wave group velocity. Frequencydomain Wiener deconvolution is used to determine the interstation phase velocity. We perform simultaneous inversion of phase and group velocity dispersion data by means of the stochastic inverse operator. The inversion results previously reported for the northern Iberian region together with the results obtained here are used for 3-D mapping of shear wave velocity over the Iberian Peninsula. Lateral variation in velocity at five depth intervals chosen in agreement with the theoretical earth models determined by joint inversion, is displayed for the lithosphere and asthenosphere of lberia.

The method is a two-step process that involves (1) estimating the source signature and (2) applying a least-squares optimum deconvolution operator that minimizes the noise not coherent with the source signature estimate. The optimum inverse problem, formulated in the frequency domain, gives as a solution an operator that can be interpreted as a simple inverse to the estimated aligned signature multiplied by semblance across the array. An application to a zero-offset VSP acquired with a dynamite source shows the effectiveness of the operator in attaining the two conflicting goals of adaptively spiking the effective source signature and minimizing the noise. Signature design for seismic surveys could benefit from observing that the optimum deconvolution operator gives a flat signal spectrum if and only if the seismic source has the same amplitude spectrum as the noise.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Longitudinal line spread function (LSF) of the system was estimated from longitudinal reformations of trans-axial spiral CT images of a step test phantom. By using the estimated LSF, longitudinal reformations of the phantom and three clinical spiral CT studies were deconvolved by the methods of Wiener filtering and constrained iterative deconvolution. Edge ringing and image noise were quantified for Wiener filtering and constrained iterative deconvolution. RESULTS: Longitudinal reformations were substantially deblurred and resolution improved after deconvolution. Anatomic boundaries in clinical images were more clearly delineated after restoration. The methods of Wiener deconvolution and constrained iterative deconvolution improved the sharpness of the phantom step boundary at the expense of increased edge ringing and image noise. CONCLUSION: In longitudinal spiral CT reformations, blurring along the longitudinal axis can be reduced by Wiener filtering or constrained iterative deconvolution.

The drill-noise signature is reduced to an effective impulse by means of a multichannel Wiener deconvolution technique, producing a walk-away reverse vertical seismic profile (VSP) sampled almost continuously in depth. We show how the multichannel technique accounts for noise and for internal drill-string reflections, automatically limiting the deconvolved data to frequencies containing significant energy. We have acquired and processed a data set from a well in Germany while drilling at a depth of almost 4000 m. The subsurface image derived from these data compares well with corresponding images from a 3-D surface seismic survey, a zero-offset VSP survey, and a walk-away VSP survey acquired using conventional wireline techniques. The effective bandwidth of the deconvolved drill-noise data is comparable to the bandwidth of surface seismic data but significantly smaller than what can be achieved with wireline VSP techniques. Although the processing algorithm does not require the use of sensors mounted on the drill string, these sensors provide a very economic way to compress the data. The sensors on the drill string were also used for accurate timing of the deconvolved drill-noise data.

The pO(2) measurement method is based on the paramagnetic effect of dissolved molecular oxygen (O-2) which reduces the PFC F-19 T-1. Specific objectives related to imaging of PFCs through use of the protocol include improved image signal-to-noise characteristics and elimination of F-19 chemical shift artifacts. A parametric Wiener deconvolution filtering algorithm is used for suppression of F-19 chemical shift artifacts. Application of the protocol is illustrated in a series of calculated pO(2) maps of a gas equilibrated, multi-chamber phantom containing perfluorotributylamine (FC-43). The utility of the protocol is demonstrated in vivo through images of a commercially available perfluorocarbon based blood substitute emulsion containing FC-43 sequestered in the liver and spleen of a rat.

The method reduces the transducer blurring effect and improves the resolution of ultrasonic Cscan images by simultaneously performing 3-D (2-D spatial and temporal) deconvolution using the MPSF (monostatic point-reflector spreading function) of the transducer. This method was applied under different imaging conditions, including the near-field and far-field of non-focused transducers and the defocused state of a focused transducer. In order to compare the proposed technique with other deconvolution methods, results from numerical simulations and experiments are presented. The results of numerical simulations of C-scan imaging with post-focus processing and 2-D Wiener deconvolution are reported. Experiments were conducted using post-focus processing and three known image resolution improving methods including axial-Wiener deconvolution, 2-D Wiener deconvolution and pseudo 3-D Wiener deconvolution. Results show the MPSF is a crucial blurring factor affecting the image resolution of C-scan images, and the post-focus processing method is more effective and generally applicable than the others.

A repeated trial paradigm was used with stimulus durations of 167 ms to 16 s and intertrial times of 30 s. Both cortical systems were found to be nonlinear in that the response to a long stimulus could not be predicted by convolving the 1-s response with a rectangular function. In the short-time regime, the amplitude of the response varied only slowly with stimulus duration. It was found that this character was predicted with a modification to Buxton's baboon model. Wiener deconvolution was used to deblur the response to concatenated short episodes of finger tapping at different temporal separations and at rates from 1 to 4 Hz. While the measured response curves were distorted by overlap between the individual episodes, the deconvolved response at each rate was found to agree well with separate scans at each of the individual rates. Thus, although the impulse response cannot predict the response to fully overlapping stimuli, linear deconvolution is effective when the stimuli are separated by at least 4 s. The deconvolution filter must be measured for each subject using a short-stimulus paradigm. It is concluded that deconvolution may be effective in diminishing the hemodynamically imposed temporal blurring and may have potential applications in quantitating responses in event-related fMRI.

The ERS scatterometer teas launched to provide high-accuracy radar backscattering measurements over the sea surface for the purpose of monitoring marine wind velocity However, ERS scatterometer data soon inspired an increasing interest for land and sea ice monitoring. The main shortcoming of these applications has been the coarse resolution of the device. This varies between 25 km(2) and 46 km(2) before ground processing, which results in normalization dozen to similar to 48 km(2) so that all the measurements can be used jointly in the wind vector retrieval . Nevertheless, for the case of perdurable sea ice and land scenes, measurements with 25-km resolution before ground processing can be selected to form images. As will be shown here, this finer resolution can be recovered for these images by using a linear Wiener filter. This restoration technique teas tested on a large scene from Russia. The improvement can be observed in the definition of the line of the river of the basin. (C) Elsevier Science Inc., 2000.

In the first approach, the multichannel optimal deconvolution estimators are given in the ARMA innovation filters form, where the solution of the Diophantine equations is required. Their global and local asymptotic stability is proved. In the second approach, the multichannel ARMA recursive Wiener deconvolution filters without the Diophantine equations are presented, which have asymptotic stability. The relationship between the ARMA innovation filters and ARMA Wiener deconvolution filters is discussed. Each approach can handel the deconvolution filtering, smoothing and prediction problems in a unified framework. An illustrative example and two simulation examples show their effectiveness.

Optimum primary and supplementary signals optimizing the seismic data resolution Tyapkin YK JOURNAL OF APPLIED GEOPHYSICS 46 (3): 175-187 MAR 2001 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 19 Times Cited: 1 Abstract: Often in practice, when generating seismic waves on a line, even with a wide-band source, numerous natural and technical obstacles cause a low resolution of reflection seismograms. In this case, the economy of the survey should be taken into consideration and rather than ignoring preexisting data, generating additional signal to complement the preexisting data should be tried. This paper describes how this can be done to optimize the resolution of the combined data. The new approach requires a fundamental change in the field technique such that records with different spectral characteristics (RDSC) are now generated from each sourcereceiver pair. These coincident records share a common reflectivity series, but differ from each other in wavelets and noise. A comprehensive theory for optimum processing (deconvolution) of any available suite of the RDSC is developed. The solution for the problem is a particular case of multichannel Wiener filtering. It can be thought of as two successive procedures. The first is optimum frequency-dependent weighted stacking of the RDSC. The second is single-channel zero-phase Wiener deconvolution filtering of the previous output. This representation enables suggested multichannel filtering to be easily implemented. The effectiveness of the method as well as its advantage over straight summing of the RDSC, followed by single-channel Wiener deconvolution filtering, are corroborated theoretically and demonstrated with field data. Furthermore, a solution is suggested fbr the problem to evaluate the spectrum of an optimum supplementary signal. The signal contributes to the available set of the RDSC and yields either maximum resolution with limited energy expenses or a certain desired resolution with minimum, but unrestricted energy expenses at the output of the optimum procedure. The optimum distribution of the spectral energy of a primary signal along the frequency axis is a particular case of the above problem with no preexisting data.

Such systems have a wide range of applications and much recent interest has focussed on several promising biomedical fields. There are a number of significant challenges to be overcome before a commercial biomedical terahertz system can be realised. Recent research is focussed on the implementation of a high speed, compact and portable T-ray imaging system. This system will draw heavily on MOEMS technology. One of the major stages in the development of such a system is the design of efficient software algorithms to perform signal recognition and imaging operations in real time. This paper considers a number of signal processing techniques suitable for de-noising and extracting information from the data obtained in a terahertz pulse imaging system. Two main denoising techniques are considered. Wavelet de-noising and Wiener deconvolution algorithms are applied to the terahertz responses of biological samples including Spanish Serrano ham and an oak leaf. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Restoration of broadband imagery steered with a liquid-crystal optical phased array Weinschenk JJ, Hardie RC, Harris SR OPTICAL ENGINEERING 41 (10): 2613-2619 OCT 2002 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 11 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: In many imaging applications, it is highly desirable to replace mechanical beamsteering components (i.e., mirrors and gimbals) with a nonmechanical device. One such device is a nematic liquid crystal optical phased array (LCOPA). An LCOPA can implement a blazed phase grating to steer the incident light. However, when a phase grating is used in a broadband imaging system, two adverse effects can occur. First, dispersion will cause different incident wavelengths arriving at the same angle to be steered to different output angles, causing chromatic aberrations in the image plane. Second, the device will steer energy not only to the first diffraction order, but to others as well. This multiple-order effect results in multiple copies of the scene appearing in the image plane. We describe a digital image restoration technique designed to overcome these degradations. The proposed postprocessing technique is based on a Wiener deconvolution filter. The technique, however, is applicable only to scenes containing objects with approximately constant reflectivities over the spectral region of interest. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique. (C) 2002 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Optimum pilot sweep Tyapkin YK, Robinson EA GEOPHYSICAL PROSPECTING 51 (1): 15-22 JAN 2003 Document type: Article Language: English Cited References: 12 Times Cited: 0 Abstract: The successful application of high-resolution seismic methods requires evaluating each element in the seismic system and ensuring that each part of the system contributes optimally to the success of the method. Unfortunately, unlike data processing, seismic signal generation is not carefully optimized. The purpose of our study was to optimize the source signal in order to better coordinate field operations with subsequent data processing to achieve their common objective. We developed an iterative method for a rational frequency distribution of the energy of a seismic source. The method allows the optimum amplitude spectrum of a source signal to be calculated, thus providing the best data quality at the end of the processing. We assume that the source signal is affected by a total transfer function, by the reflectivity function of a target interval, and by ambient noise, whose characteristics, if not known, can be estimated or measured in practice. The transfer function includes data processing other than the correlation stage and the final traceoptimizing filter. The variance of a reflectivity estimate is considered to be a measure of the data quality and improvement of the characteristic corresponds to a decrease in the variance. For this reason, a constrained Wiener deconvolution filter is used as the final trace-optimizing filter. It not only minimizes the variance of a reflectivity estimate but also ensures a specific signal-tonoise ratio. The method is made feasible by following the Vibroseis technique, primarily because of the versatility of the technique in controlling the signal spectrum. With the optimum amplitude spectrum obtained, the corresponding optimum pilot sweep can be readily calculated. Examples using synthetic data are presented to illustrate the method.
