Abstract:
The shape of an object is reconstructed from measurements of the diffraction pattern observed in a monochromatic sound wave which irradiates the object. Both the amplitude and phase of sounds at a discrete set of points near the object (a rectangular lattice of suitable dimensions) are measured and used to evaluate the wavefront of the distorted sound wave. From these data, a visual display is constructed, e.g., on a facsimile receiver, cathode ray display, or the like.
Abstract:
Photographs which are blurred, for example, by uniform motion of a camera relative to an image during exposure, are restored by identifying certain parameters of the blurring, e.g., direction and displacement, using the parameters to transform the distortion into an additive periodic component in the picture (blur), and by estimating (or identifying) and subtracting the periodic components from the picture. Two-dimensional spectral analysis, or the cepstrum technique, may be employed to identify the blur parameters, and a transversal filter arrangement, adjusted in accordance with parameter values is used to perform the estimation and subtraction.
