We evaluate a wavelet-based algorithm to estimate the coil sensitivity modulation from surface coils. This information is used to improve the image homogeneity of magnetic resonance imaging when a surface coil is used for reception, and to increase image encoding speed by reconstructing images from under-sampled (aliased) acquisitions using parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for higher spatiotemporal image resolutions. The proposed algorithm estimates the spatial sensitivity profile of surface coils from the original anatomical images directly without using the body coil for additional reference scans or using coil position markers for electromagnetic model-based calculations. No prior knowledge about the anatomy is required for the application of the algorithm. The estimation of the coil sensitivity profile based on the wavelet transform of the original image data was found to provide a robust method for removing the slowly varying spatial sensitivity pattern of the surface coil image and recovering full FOV images from two-fold acceleration in 8-channel parallel MRI. The results, using bi-orthogonal Daubechies 97 wavelets and other members in this family, are evaluated for T1-weighted and T2-weighted brain imaging.

The aim of this article is to present a useful numerical procedure suitable to accurately model pickup probes for design-oriented purposes, reducing the required prototyping activity and allowing more accurate results with respect to analytic estimations, taking into account both inductive and capacitive effects in complex geometries. The proposed methodology is characterized by the following steps: 1) a partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) formulation, speeded up by a parametric model order reduction (pMOR) technique, is used to efficiently model the probe in the frequency domain taking into account both inductive and capacitive effects; 2) a nonlinear least-squares solver is used to identify an equivalent RLC network describing the full behavior of the probe up to the first resonance frequency; and 3) a circuital model, considering the probe, the transmission line (TL), and the terminating impedance, is used to estimate the bandwidth of the complete system from the probe to the acquisition system. The experimental validation of the proposed method against the RFX-mod2 three-axis pickup probe prototype is also presented, together with the application to the design of the magnetic sensors for the new Divertor tokamak test (DTT) facility.

IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, 2003
In this paper, the semi-orthogonal compactly supported spline wavelets are used as basis functions for the efficient solution of the thin-wire electric field integral equation (EFIE) in frequency domain. The method of moments (MoM) is used via the Galerkin procedure. Conventional MoM directly applied to the EFIE, leads to dense matrix which often becomes computationally intractable when large-scale problems are approached. To overcome these difficulties, wavelets can be used as a basis set so obtaining the generation of a sparse matrix; this is due to the local supports and the vanishing moments properties of the wavelets. In the paper, this technique is applied to analyze electromagnetic transients in a lightning protection systems schematized as a thin-wire structure. The study is carried out in frequency domain; a discrete fast Fourier transform algorithm can be used to compute time profiles of the electromagnetic interesting quantities. The unknown longitudinal currents are expressed by using multiscale wavelet expansions. Thus, the thin-wire EFIE is converted into a matrix equation by the Galerkin method. Results for linear spline wavelets along with their comparison with conventional MoM that uses triangular basis functions and the point matching procedure are presented, for two case studies. Good agreement has been reached with a strong reduction of the computational complexity.
Regional-residual magnetic field data separation in wavelet domain
Journal of the …, 2003
A new method for regional-residual magnetic field data separation, in wavelet domain, is suggested. The method is based on the discrete wavelet transform of either 1-D or 2-D data and the same transformation of an internal model for the regional field. The separation is controlled by the transformation of the model. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by application on synthetic 1-D and 2-D data. The results show an almost perfect separation of the two fields. A comparison with the polynomial fitting on synthetic data suggests that the suggested method produce better results. Finally the application of the technique to real data obtained from the exploration of an archaeological site in Northern Greece is presented.

Optimal filtering allows the maximization of signal-over-noise ratio for the improvement of both energy threshold and resolution. Nevertheless, its effective efficiency depends on the estimation of signal and noise spectra. In practice, these are often estimated by averaging over a set of carefully chosen data. In case of time-varying noise, adaptive non-linear algorithms can be used if the shape of the signal is known. However, their convergence is not guaranteed, especially with 1/f-type noise. In this paper, a new method is presented for adaptive noise whitening and template signal estimation. First, the noise is continuously characterized in the wavelet domain, where the signal is decomposed over a set of scales, corresponding to band-pass filters. Both time resolution and decorrelation properties of the wavelet transform allow an accurate and robust estimation of the noise structure, even if pulses or correlated noise are present. The whitening step then amounts to a normalization of each scale by the estimated noise variance. A matched filter is then applied on the whitened signal. The required signal template is constructed from a single event, denoised by a filtering technique called wavelet thresholding. As an example, application to metallic magnetic calorimeter data is presented. The method reaches the precision of conventional optimal filtering, further allowing noise monitoring, adaptive threshold and improving the energy resolution of up to 8% in some cases.
A study of wavelets for the solution of electromagnetic integral equations
IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 1995
The use of wavelet basis functions for the e cient solution of electromagnetic integral equations is studied. It has previously been demonstrated that the use of wavelets for expansion and testing functions produces a sparse moment-method matrix. Here, this e ect is examined and analyzed in terms of the radiation/receiving characteristics of the wavelet basis functions. The limitations of wavelets as an e cient solution technique are discussed, and comparison is made to other fast algorithms.

Adaptive Wavelets for Characterizing Magnetic Flux Leakage Signals From Pipeline Inspection
IEEE Transactions on Magnetics - IEEE TRANS MAGN, 2006
Natural gas transmission pipelines are commonly inspected using magnetic flux leakage (MFL) method for detecting cracks and corrosion in the pipewall. Traditionally the MFL data obtained is processed to estimate an equivalent length (L), width (W), and depth (D) of defects. This information is then used to predict the maximum safe operating pressure (MAOP). In order to obtain a more accurate estimate for the MAOP, it is necessary to invert the MFL signal in terms of the full three-dimensional (3-D) depth profile of defects. This paper proposes a novel iterative method of inversion using adaptive wavelets and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) that can efficiently reduce the data dimensionality and predict the full 3-D depth profile. Initials results obtained using simulated data are presented
Wavelet-like bases for thin-wire integral equations in electromagnetics
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2005
In this paper, wavelets are used in solving, by the method of moments, a modified version of the thin-wire electric field integral equation, in frequency domain. The time domain electromagnetic quantities, are obtained by using the inverse discrete fast Fourier transform. The retarded scalar electric and vector magnetic potentials are employed in order to obtain the integral formulation. The discretized model generated by applying the direct method of moments via point-matching procedure, results in a linear system with a dense matrix which have to be solved for each frequency of the Fourier spectrum of the time domain impressed source. Therefore, orthogonal wavelet-like basis transform is used to sparsify the moment matrix. In particular, dyadic and M-band wavelet transforms have been adopted, so generating different sparse matrix structures. This leads to an efficient solution in solving the resulting sparse matrix equation. Moreover, a wavelet preconditioner is used to accelerate the convergence rate of the iterative solver employed. These numerical features are used in analyzing the transient behavior of a lightning protection system. In particular, the transient performance of the earth termination system of a lightning protection system or of the earth electrode of an electric power substation, during its operation is focused. The numerical results, obtained by running a complex structure, are discussed and the features of the used method are underlined.
