Czech Republic Received 30 May 1996;revised 22 November 1996and 20 March 1997 Abstract A novel approach to the recognition of the signals degraded by a linear time-inwtriant system with an unknown impulse response is proposed. It consists of describing the signals by the features which are invariant to the degradation and recognizing signals in the feature space. Unlike the blind-deconvolution techniques, neither the impulse response identilication nor the signal restor,ttion is performed. Two sets of appropriate blur-invariant features (the first one dctincd in time domain and the other one in spectral domain) arc introduced in this paper and the optimal algorithm for a robust signal classification is proposed.
