However Lane and Bates [1] have shown via separation of zero sheets that blind deconvolution is theoretically possible for dimensions of two or greater when very little noise is present. In practice noise is a significant problem that limits the ability to perform successful deconvolution. Many researchers have also found that the only way of achieving blind deconvolution is to impose spatial and spectral constraints on the solution, derived from a priori information about the imaging system, and to eliminate the trivial solution of the image or PSF being a delta function. This becomes less useful in situations where very little else is known except the measured data.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"258 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122469136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large aperture telescope will have no more resolving power than one with a diameter equal to Fried’s rO parameter which is usually between 5 and 10 centimeters. Recently, technological development in the areas of wave-front sensing and deformable mirrors have lead to adaptive optic systems. These systems attempt to measure the atmosphere induced wave-front distortion and cancel it through the use of a deformable mirror. Due to the short correlation time of the atmosphere, they require a high bandwidth multi-input multi-output control system.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122938947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to their appreciable influence on the earth’s radiation budget, air quality, clouds and precipitation as well as the chemistry of the troposphere and stratosphere it is necessary to gather detailed information on their optical and physical properties. A multiple-wavelength lidar as well as a Raman lidar at the Institute provide optical particle information in terms of six backscatter coefficients and two extinction coefficients in the wavelength range from 0.355 to 1.064 μm on a vertical scale. A data-evaluation algorithm that uses the method of inversion via regularization has been specifically designed to retrieve physical properties from the given optical information. The physical parameters can be described by, e.g., the particle size distributions, the mean sizes derived from it, like the effective radius, the volume, surface-area, and number concentrations as well as the complex refractive index. Due to the low amount of available a priori information on the particle properties in combination with the small number of optical information that additionally include large measurement errors the main focus had been on the retrieval of the mean values. To control the quality of the regularization under these difficult conditions the method of generalized cross-validation is used as it does not require the knowledge of the underlying measurement errors nor the knowledge of the specific shape of the particle size distributions.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133564198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
