ABSTRACT:
The invention proposes a method of processing a noisy digital time signal ykcorresponding to an initial time signal xtafter having been conditioned by a conditioning chain, the said initial signal xtrepresenting information about radiations coming from a radiation source, these radiations having an energy distribution, characterised in that a state model is implemented, representing the conditioning imposed by the said chain to pass from the initial time signal xtto the noisy digital time signal ykin order to obtain from the noisy digital time signal yka non-noisy digital estimate signal of the initial time signal xt.The invention furthermore proposes a system capable of implementing said method.
