Double Minimum Variance Beamforming Method to Enhance Photoacoustic Imaging
One of the common algorithms used to reconstruct photoacoustic (PA) images is the non-adaptive Delayand-Sum (DAS) beamformer. However, the quality of the reconstructed PA images obtained by DAS is not satisfying due to its high level of sidelobes and wide mainlobe. In contrast, adaptive beamformers, such as minimum variance (MV), result in an improved image compared to DAS. In this paper, a nov...
متن کاملLinear Array Photoacoustic Imaging Using Minimum Variance-Based Delay Multiply and Sum Adaptive Beamforming Algorithm
In photoacoustic imaging, delay-and-sum (DAS) beamformer is a common beamforming algorithm having a simple implementation. However, it results in a poor resolution and high sidelobes. To address these challenges, a new algorithm namely delay-multiply-and-sum (DMAS) was introduced having lower sidelobes compared to DAS. To improve the resolution of DMAS, a beamformer is introduced using minimum ...
متن کاملMedical Photoacoustic Beamforming Using Minimum Variance-Based Delay Multiply and Sum
Delay-and-Sum (DAS) beamformer is the most common beamforming algorithm in Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) due to its simple implementation and real time imaging. However, it provides poor resolution and high levels of sidelobe. A new algorithm named Delay-Multiply-and-Sum (DMAS) was introduced. Using DMAS leads to lower levels of sidelobe compared to DAS, but resolution is not satisfying yet. In t...
متن کاملOn linearly constrained minimum variance beamforming
Beamforming is a widely used technique for source localization in signal processing and neuroimaging. A number of vector-beamformers have been introduced to localize neuronal activity by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in the literature. However, the existing theoretical analyses on these beamformers have been limited to simple cases, where no more than two sources are allowed in the as...
متن کاملMinimum Variance Adaptive Beamforming Applied to a Circular Sonar Array
The minimum variance (MV) beamformer, also known as the Capon or minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer, uses the recorded wavefield to compute a set of optimal weights to be applied to each sensor, before coherently adding the sensor outputs. The weights are chosen such that the variance of the output is minimized while maintaining unit gain in the view direction. The MV be...
