Abstract

The ultrafast active cavitation imaging (UACI) based on plane wave can be implemented with high frame rate, in which adaptive beamforming technique was introduced to enhance resolutions and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of images. However, regular adaptive beamforming continuously updates the spatial filter for each sample point, which requires a huge amount of calculation, especially in the case of a high sampling rate, and, moreover, 3D imaging. In order to achieve UACI rapidly with satisfactory resolution and SNR, this paper proposed an adaptive beamforming on the basis of compressive sensing (CS), which can retain the quality of adaptive beamforming but reduce the calculating amount substantially. The results of simulations and experiments showed that comparing with regular adaptive beamforming, this new method successfully achieved about eightfold in time consuming.
