Abstract
For the purpose of accurately calculating the average value M of original complex observed signals S from an absolute-value image produced by the complex observed signals S, in Step A1, the average value Ma of pixel values |S| of the absolute-value image in a local region is calculated by:wherein the number of pixels in the local region is represented as k. In Step A2, the average value M of the original complex observed signals S is calculated by the following equation:(α),wherein ƒ(Ma/α) is an inverse function of the function Ma/α=ƒ(M/α) represented as:+()|exp{−()/
