Deconvolution is a signal processing technique that recovers an estimate of an original source signal from an observed signal degraded by convolution with a known kernel. Given an observed signal y = x * h (where * denotes convolution and h is the known point-spread function), deconvolution computes an estimate of x through methods including inverse filtering, Wiener deconvolution, and iterative algorithms such as the Richardson-Lucy method. The procedure operates in either the frequency domain (dividing the observed spectrum by the kernel's transfer function) or the time domain (applying deconvolution filters or optimization). Deconvolution underpins applications in spectroscopy, microscopy, communications, and audio restoration. [formal: deconvolutio | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition correctly carves deconvolution: states parameters (observed signal y, known kernel h, source x), the persistence mechanism (numerical algorithms — Wiener, iterative), and the operating principle. Ends with proper trailer.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition correctly carves deconvolution: states what it is (recovery of original source from convolution-degraded signal), gives the mathematical framework (y = x * h), and describes the persistence mechanism (algorithmic computation). Trailer present and appropriate.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly states parameters (known kernel, observed signal y=x*h) and persistence mechanism (signal processing practice). It carves deconvolution from other inverse problems by requiring the kernel to be known. The mathematical formulation is precise.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves deconvolution: states what it is (signal processing technique), parameters (observed signal, known kernel, original source estimate), and mechanism (reversing convolution). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer.
