Deconvolution of plenacoustic images

In this paper we propose a methodology aimed at improving the resolution capabilities of plenacoustic imaging, which is based on deconvolution techniques mutuated from aerospace acoustic imaging. In order to reduce the computational burden, we also propose a modification of the minimization problem that exploits the highly structured information contained in the plenacoustic image. Experiments and simulations show the improvement of the accuracy gained by applying the deconvolution operator.
