Ak. Nandi et al., BLIND DECONVOLUTION OF ULTRASONIC SIGNALS IN NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING APPLICATIONS, IEEE transactions on signal processing, 45(5), 1997, pp. 1382-1390
Advanced nondestructive testing techniques use a laser to generate ult
rasonic waves at the surface of a test material. An air-coupled transd
ucer receives the ultrasound that is the convolution of the signal lea
ving the test material and the distortion function, Blind deconvolutio
n methods are applied to estimate the signal leaving the material.
