Abstract

In this work, we introduce a new approach for the signal deconvolution problem, which is useful for the enhancement of neutron radiography projections. We attempt to restore original signals and get rid of noise present during acquisition or processing, due to gamma radiations or randomly distributed neutron flux. Signal deconvolution is an ill-posed inverse problem, so regularization techniques are used to smooth solutions by imposing constraints in the objective function. This paper proposes a new approach based on a synergy of two swarm intelligence algorithms: particle swarm optimization (PSO) and bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) applied for total variation (TV) minimization, instead of the standard Tikhonov regularization method. We attempt to reconstruct or recover signals using some a priori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. The truncated singular value decomposition and the wavelet filtering methods are also considered in this paper. A comparison between several powerful techniques is conducted. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
