Context: Fourier transform (or lag) correlators in radio interferometers can serve as an efficient means of synthesising spectral channels. However aliasing corrupts the edge channels so they usually have to be excluded from the data set.…

Sampling a signal below the Shannon-Nyquist rate causes aliasing, meaning different frequencies to become indistinguishable. It is also well-known that recovering spectral information from a signal using a parametric method can be ill-posed…
Edge preserving filters preserve the edges and its information while blurring an image. In other words they are used to smooth an image, while reducing the edge blurring effects across the edge like halos, phantom etc. They are nonlinear in…
