                      M Sankar Kishore, M U P Karthik, N K D Reddy, S Sai Sreekanth and A Sampath Kumar

This paper carries out the mathematical analysis and implements linear restoration filters such as Inverse filter, Pseudo Inverse filter, Wiener filter, Constrained Least square filter. Linear filters are used to restore images that are blurred by spatial invariant degradation model and degraded by additive noise. The performance of each filter is considered based on the statistical parameter of the restored image. The analysis is carried out for each filter over a range of noise and blur. The filter transfer function is optimized to get a nearest estimate to the original image. The performance of each filter is compared and conclusion are presented.

                                           Source Transformation Theorem Revisited

                                                                                                                          T S Rathore

 
It is known that a parallel combination of a current source and a resistance can be replaced by a series combination of a voltage source and a resistance and vice versa according to the source transformation theorem. Thus, the source transformation gives only one current to voltage or voltage to current equivalent circuit. In this short paper, we show that there is a large number of current to voltage, voltage to current, current to current and voltage to voltage source transformation possible under certain given terminal condition. This result is not given in the text books.

Computation of the Coefficients of Chebyshev Polynomials

                                                                                          S C Dutta Roy

A simple derivation given of a closed form formula for the computation of the coefficieats of Chebyshev polynomials, which as is well known, are required for the design of equal ripple filters. A modification fo the formula is also given for facilitating fast computation.
