Abstract

To extract meaningful information from available data, researchers are often confronted with data in some complex superposed state. Therefore, the physical quantity of interest is not directly observable. In the physical sciences, a common form of information mixing is linear superposition. This includes fields as diverse as radio astronomy, Fourier transform spectroscopy, atmospheric physics, and medical diagnostics. One problem confronting researchers in these disciplines is restoring or deconvolving data. In addition to simple data restoration, noise can complicate the restoration process. This phenomenon can enter both prior to or during the collection of data. Noise presents a major obstacle to perfect restoration, information gain, and scientific understanding.
