Abstract :
In order to improve the capability of resolving boundaries and small details, an approach to remove or partially remove the influence of the pulse must be used. An algorithm consisting of a Kalman filter and a reflection estimator is described. For one-dimensional deconvolution the pulse estimator gives all the necessary parameters for performing the algorithm
