| description | We are currently investigating the ultrasound imaging of a sensor that consists of a randomized encoding mask attached to a single lead zirconate titanate (PZT) oscillator for a puncture microscope application. The proposed model was conducted using a finite element method (FEM) simulator. To increase the number of measurements required by a single element system that affects its resolution, the transducer was rotated at different angles. The image was constructed by solving a linear equation of the image model resulting in a poor quality. In a previous work, the phase information was extracted from the echo signal to improve the image quality. This study proposes a strategy by integrating the weighted frequency subbands compound and a super-resolution technique to enhance the resolution in range and lateral direction. The image performance with different methods was also evaluated using the experimental data. The results indicate that better image resolution and speckle suppression were obtained by applying the proposed method. |
