One approach to optimization utilizes statistical analysis of numerous trials on noise-added signals. Fixing approximately the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for each set of trials makes possible the determination of iteration number and expected error versus SNR as well as the statistical standard deviation of these quantities. The advantage of this approach is that it allows 1) any computer-generated noise type, 2) any criterion for optimization which is calculable, and 3) the use of nonlinear constraints. Analytic approaches to optimization do not in general allow this flexibility. Since nonlinear constraints such as nonnegativity are often the key to superresolution, the ability to perform this type of optimization is quite important. Details concerning the simulations are addressed, including stopping criteria when the rate of change in the optimization measure is very slow. Although minimization of the mean squared error and absolute error have been the main criteria examined thus far in the work because of their current pervasiveness, a number of criteria, especially those related to resolution, may be more appropriate for many data types and goals.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"11 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":"117326469","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}

The reflected radiation at a single frequency will create a speckle pattern in the far-field. The intensity of this far-field speckle pattern is directly detected with an array of detectors and without intervening optics. Typically, the illuminating laser will step through several frequencies so that a separate cross-range speckle intensity pattern is collected for each of multiple frequencies. Properly formatted, these data correspond to the modulus squared of the Fourier transform of the object’s 3-D complex reflectivity function [4]. If the object’s Fourier phase can be retrieved, then the Fourier representation of the object will be complete and a 3-D FFT could be used to recover the object’s 3-D complex reflectivity. Thus, phase-retrieval is an integral element of the PROCLAIM imaging modality. A schematic diagram of the data-collection and processing that constitute the PROCLAIM imaging modality is presented in Fig. 1.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"130 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":"116205723","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}

Applications abound and it still remains a difficult problem. Based on the analytic properties of bandlimited functions, it is well known that the 1D phase retrieval problem generally has no unique solution. The lack of uniqueness arises from the existence of complex zeros located off the real axis, i.e. in the complex plane. These analytic properties also suggest that in 2D or higher dimensional problems there is a unique solution1. The question is how to find this “unique” solution, especially when only noisy sampled power spectral data are available. Indeed, the meaning of uniqueness needs to be redefined under these circumstances.","PeriodicalId":184407,"journal":{"name":"Signal Recovery and Synthesis","volume":"18 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":"124309883","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}
