This study compares iterative algorithms for compressive sensing in near-field acoustic holography, finding faster methods suitable for industrial use. The research evaluates algorithm performance for extending microphone array frequency ranges.
Area of Science:
- Acoustics
- Signal Processing
- Computational Physics
Background:
