Vv. Dolganov et Av. Osetrov, NOISE-IMMUNITY OF THE SYNTHETIC-APERTURE TECHNIQUE WITH NONLINEAR NORMALIZATION, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 31(9), 1995, pp. 681-687
The nonlinear synthetic aperture focusing technique (NL-SAFT) proposed
by the authors in previous publications is investigated; their method
is a modification of SAFT with nonlinear sensitivity to inhomogeneiti
es having different zones of visibility. The characteristics of the me
thod for reconstructing acoustic images of inhomogeneities in the pres
ence of noise is discussed.
