Influence of linear equality constraints on object restoration in incoherent light

Abstract:
We investigate how prior knowledge of the object in the form of linear equality constraints influences the inverse problem of incoherently illuminated object reconstruction by using an elimination method in the context of least squares by regularized singular-value decomposition. Some representative numerical calculations that use noisy images were carried out to illustrate the analysis. When compared with the corresponding unconstrained inversion it appears that the linear constrained inverse does not seem to be any better when viewed in the global sense.

Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be calculated...
