Open platform (OP) ultrasound systems are aimed primarily at the research community. They have been at the forefront of the development of synthetic aperture, plane wave, shear wave …
In this paper the total focusing method, the so called gold standard in classical beamforming, is compared with the widely used time-reversal MUSIC super resolution technique in terms …
Ultrasonic phased array post-processing imaging techniques make testing and evaluation of defects by using off-line algorithm. Greater defect imaging and characterization abilities …
This paper describes the application of unsupervised learning techniques to improve ego- motion estimation for a low-cost freehand ultrasound probe. Echo decorrelation …
Ultrasound imaging systems (UIS) are essential tools in nondestructive testing (NDT). In general, the quality of images depends on two factors: system hardware features and image …
In this paper, the development of modified beamforming methods, Filtered Delay Weight Multiply and Sum (FD wMAS) and Filtered Delay Euclidian-Weighted Multiply and Sum (FD …
The analysis of the beampattern is the base of sparse arrays design process. However, in the case of bidimensional arrays, this analysis has a high computational cost, turning the …
Noise pollution investigation takes advantage of two common methods of diagnosis: measurement using a Sound Level Meter and acoustical imaging. The former enables a …
