Reconstruction of Undersampled Signals and Alignment in The RECONSTRUCTION OF UNDERSAMPLED SIGNALS AND ALIGNMENT IN THE FREQUENCY DOMAIN by David M. Simpson June, 1988 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Department of Electrical Engineering Imperial College London, SW7 ABSTRACT This thesis describes a technique for the digital reconstruction of one and two dimensional signals from a series of undersampled versions. To do the necessary alignment of the signals, a novel technique of shift estimation is developed, based on the phase of the Fourier components. The effects of windowing, when finite length signals are processed, are also studied. The reconstruction technique- is based on the frequency domain, and requires that the signal is bandlimited and the total number of samples is adequate. The technique is evaluated in the presence of noise and with alignment errors. The relative shift between the sampled signals is found to sub-sample resolution using the phase of consecutive harmonics. Particular attention is paid to the effect of aliasing on the delay estimate. The use of data windows for processing finite length signals is investigated for both the signal alignment and reconstruction methods. The usefulness and reliability of the complete reconstruction algorithm is evaluated on simulated one and two dimensional signals and a number of real images. It is concluded that the shift estimation technique developed provides an efficient and useful new algorithm. The investi­ gation into windowing shows that the required window properties here are different to the usual ones in spectral estimation. The reconstruction technique was found to be sensitive to noise and errors in alignment but could recover detail lost in digitizing the signals. 2 CONTENTS Page Title Page 1 Abstract 2 Contents 3 List of Figures 8 List of Tables 14 Acknowledgement 16 Statement of Originality 17 1.

Abstract: Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a powerful imaging modality that relies on the PA effect. PAI works on the principle of electromagnetic energy absorption by the exogenous contrast agents and/or endogenous molecules present in the biological tissue, consequently generating ultrasound waves. PAI combines a high optical contrast with a high acoustic spatiotemporal resolution, al- lowing the non-invasive visualization of absorbers in deep structures. However, due to the optical diffusion and ultrasound attenuation in heterogeneous turbid biological tissue, the quality of the PA images deteriorates. Therefore, signal and image-processing techniques are imperative in PAI to provide high-quality images with detailed structural and functional information in deep tissues. Here, we review various signal and image processing techniques that have been developed/implemented in PAI. Our goal is to highlight the importance of image computing in photoacoustic imaging.

  • Introduction Simulation of Signal Averaging
    Signal Processing Naureen Ghani December 9, 2017 Introduction Signal processing is used to enhance signal components in noisy measurements. It is especially important in analyzing time-series data in neuroscience. Applications of signal processing include data compression and predictive algorithms. Data analysis techniques are often subdivided into operations in the spatial domain and frequency domain. For one-dimensional time series data, we begin by signal averaging in the spatial domain. Signal averaging is a technique that allows us to uncover small amplitude signals in the noisy data. It makes the following assumptions: 1. Signal and noise are uncorrelated. 2. The timing of the signal is known. 3. A consistent signal component exists when performing repeated measurements. 4. The noise is truly random with zero mean. In reality, all these assumptions may be violated to some degree. This technique is still useful and robust in extracting signals. Simulation of Signal Averaging To simulate signal averaging, we will generate a measurement x that consists of a signal s and a noise component n. This is repeated over N trials. For each digitized trial, the kth sample point in the jth trial can be written as xj(k) = sj(k) + nj(k) Here is the code to simulate signal averaging: % Signal Averaging Simulation % Generate 256 noisy trials trials = 256; noise_trials = randn(256); % Generate sine signal sz = 1:trials; sz = sz/(trials/2); S = sin(2*pi*sz); % Add noise to 256 sine signals for i = 1:trials noise_trials(i,:) = noise_trials(i,:) + S;

    Analog to Digital Conversion ADC TYPES Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) transform an at 1) or 1/4 full scale (if the MSB reset to zero). The analog voltage to a binary number (a series of 1’s and comparator once more compares the DAC output to 0’s), and then eventually to a digital number (base 10) the input signal and the second bit either remains on for reading on a meter, monitor, or chart. The number (sets to 1) if the DAC output is lower than the input of binary digits (bits) that represents the digital number signal, or resets to zero if the DAC output is higher determines the ADC resolution. However, the digital than the input signal. The third MSB is then compared number is only an approximation of the true value of the same way and the process continues in order of the analog voltage at a particular instant because the descending bit weight until the LSB is compared. At voltage can only be represented (digitally) in discrete the end of the process, the output register contains steps. How closely the digital number approximates the digital code representing the analog input signal. the analog value also depends on the ADC resolution. Successive approximation ADCs are relatively slow A mathematical relationship conveniently shows because the comparisons run serially, and the ADC how the number of bits an ADC handles determines must pause at each step to set the DAC and wait its specific theoretical resolution: An n-bit ADC has for its output to settle.

  • Notes on Noise Reduction
    PHYS 331: Junior Physics Laboratory I Notes on Noise Reduction When setting out to make a measurement one often finds that the signal, the quantity we want to see, is masked by noise, which is anything that interferes with seeing the signal. Maximizing the signal and minimizing the effects of noise then become the goals of the experimenter. To reach these goals we must understand the nature of the signal, the possible sources of noise and the possible strategies for extracting the desired quantity from a noisy environment.. Figure 1 shows a very generalized experimental situation. The system could be electrical, mechanical or biological, and includes all important environmental variables such as temperature, pressure or magnetic field. The excitation is what evokes the response we wish to measure. It might be an applied voltage, a light beam or a mechanical vibration, depending on the situation. The system response to the excitation, along with some noise, is converted to a measurable form by a transducer, which may add further noise. The transducer could be something as simple as a mechanical pointer to register deflection, but in modern practice it almost always converts the system response to an electrical signal for recording and analysis. In some experiments it is essential to recover the full time variation of the response, for example the time-dependent fluorescence due to excitation of a chemical reaction with a short laser pulse. It is then necessary to record the transducer output as a function of time, perhaps repetitively, and process the output to extract the signal of interest while minimizing noise contributions.

Digital – discretized magnitude at discrete times Quantization assigns a single number to represent a range of magnitudes of a continuous signal This is done by a Analog to Digital A/D converter 1 Signal Wave Form Static – does not vary with time and can be considered over long periods, like the life of a battery. Dynamic Signal – time dependent y(t) Definitions Deterministic Signal –a signal that varies in time in a predictable manner, such as a sine wave, a step function, or a ramp function. Steady Periodic –a signal whose variation of the magnitude of the signal repeats at regular intervals in time. Definitions cont’d Complex Periodic Waveform – contains multiple frequencies and is represented as a superposition of multiple simple periodic waveforms. Aperiodic Waveforms – deterministic signals that do not repeat at regular intervals (step function).
