The pipeline systems used to carry liquids and gases for the ventilation of buildings, water distributions networks, and the oil and chemical industries are usually monitored by a multiplicity of pressure, flow, and valve position sensors. By comparing the input signal to a valve with the pressure reading from the network using cross-correlation analysis, the technique described in this paper enables a single sensor to be used for monitoring. Specifically, the offset and gradient change of the cross-correlation function show the time delay between the input wave and the acquired output signal. These reflections arise from junctions, valves, and terminations, which can be located effectively using the cross-correlation technique. Investigations using a T-shaped pipe network have been conducted with a valve inserted in the pipeline to introduce artificial water hammer-type perturbations into the system. Both computational and experimental data are presented and the results are compared with the actual pipe network geometry. It is shown that it is possible to identify the location of various features of the network from the reflections and thus to perform either system characterisation or condition monitoring.

In Sentinel-1 TOPS mode, the antenna sweeps in the azimuth direction for the purpose of illuminating the targets with the entire azimuth antenna pattern (AAP). This azimuth sweeping introduces an extra high-frequency Doppler term into the impulse response function (IRF), which poses a more strict coregistration accuracy for the interferometric purpose. A 1/1000 pixel coregistration accuracy is required for the interferometric phase error to be negligible, and the enhanced spectral diversity (ESD) method is applied for achieving such accuracy. However, since ESD derives miscoregistration from cross-interferometric phase, and phase is always wrapped to [ − π , π ) , an initial coregistration method with enough accuracy is required to resolve the phase ambiguity in ESD. The mainstream for initial coregistration that meets this requirement is the geometrical approach, which accuracy mainly depends on the accuracy of orbits. In this article, the authors propose to investigate the feasibility of using the conventional coregistration approach, namely the cross-correlation-and-rigid-transformation, as the initial coregistration method. The aim is to quantify the coregistration accuracy for cross-correlation-and-rigid-transformation using the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) and determine whether this method could eventually help to resolve the phase ambiguities of ESD. In addition, we studied the feasibility and robustness of the cross-correlation plus ESD under different conditions. For validation, we checked whether the cross-correlation plus ESD approach could reach the same coregistration accuracy as geometrical plus ESD approach. In general, for large areas with enough coherence and little topography variance, the cross-correlation method could be used as an alternative to the geometrical approach. The interferogram from the two different approaches (with ESD applied afterward) shows a negligible difference under such circumstances.

Industrial applications need regular testing for the lifetime, movement, strength, and performance of manufacturing machines during production process. Since speckle photography is a simple economic technique, it is used in investigating object response under mechanical and thermal effects depending on the movement of the speckle patterns with respect to the deformation strength and direction. In the present work, the cross-correlation technique is used to analyze the speckle patterns by iterative method to define both values and directions of rigid body translation and expansion. In order to check the accuracy of the cross-correlation technique, the results are compared with the displacement values given by analyzing the Young's interference fringes resulted from the Fourier transformation of the speckle patterns. This noncontact technique is found to be accurate and informative depending on the stability and sensitivity of the optical system. This method of measurement is an effective tool in studying the hard cases of objects and machines under various effects.

<p> In this work, we test the cross-correlation of ambient seismic noise method in monitoring underground water variations. Within this perspective we applied the abovementioned technique to study the water table changes occurring both in areas exploited for drinking water needs and inside landslides. Into detail, surveys were carried out in Crépieux-Charmy and Ventasso water catchment fields and in the Cà Lita landslide, respectively. Our aim is to optimize the outcome of the method by studying the effect of different processing steps involved in the computation of the cross-correlation technique. For this purpose, we analyzed the influence of filter types and different time windows length. Additionally, in order to address the problem of localization of the change in the medium the seismic velocity variations have been also derived from limited frequency bandwidths according to the characteristics observed in the signals spectrum. This work has shown the potential of this methodology as a valuable non-destructive toll to accurately describe hydrogeological dynamics. The monitoring system could thus be coupled with the traditional tools to improve the reconstruction of the underground water variations.</p>
