applied to video de-interlacing problem with a <strong>Volterra</strong> model by Giani et al. (2000).<br />
Ocean waves and platforms<br />
Tension leg platform (TLP) is a floating platform chained to the ocean floor <strong>via</strong><br />
tendons which are under a tension; that is why it is named as tension leg platform.<br />
Koh and Powers (1985) modeled the irregular wave oscillations in time domain with<br />
a second- order <strong>Volterra</strong> series. Particularly, the second-order (quadratic) compo-<br />
nent <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Volterra</strong> series models the relationship between a wave excitation and<br />
surge response <strong>of</strong> big waves producing by TLP. Their filter also allows dividing<br />
into the observed surge response into its linear and nonlinear parts. Powers et al.<br />
(1990) improved this study to a low- frequency drift oscillation <strong>of</strong> a TLP due to<br />
irregular sea waves by correlating nonlinear forces with a TLP data at low fre-<br />
quencies. They demonstrated that the nonlinear transfer function may successfully<br />
model quadratic nonlinear mechanisms and measured a TLP response. Further-<br />
more, Kim et al. (1994) studied a deconvolution technique based on an impulse<br />
invariance standard Z− transform to derive linear and nonlinear coefficients <strong>of</strong> a<br />
surge response.<br />

Zhang et al. (1998) studied how memory length, noise, order <strong>of</strong> nonlinearity, type<br />
<strong>of</strong> data can affect <strong>Volterra</strong> kernel estimation; they explored this in the context <strong>of</strong><br />
nonlinear lung tissue mechanics around ventilatory breathing frequencies. Other<br />
applications <strong>of</strong> <strong>Volterra</strong> modeling are found in Kellman et al. (2003) and Zhong<br />
et al. (2006)
