Acoustic-Resolution Photoacoustic Microscopy (AR-PAM) is promising for subcutaneous vascular imaging, but its spatial resolution is constrained by the Point Spread Function (PSF). Traditional deconvolution methods like Richardson-Lucy and…

The coherence factor (CF) is defined as the ratio of coherent power to incoherent power received by the radar aperture. The incoherent power is computed by the multi-antenna receiver based on only the spatial variable. In this respect, it…

Photoacoustic image (PAI) quality improvement using a low frequency piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer (PMUT) having the fundamental resonant frequency 1 MHz is being reported. Specifically, three different methods are…

As a burgeoning medical imaging method based on hybrid fusion of light and ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging (PAI) has demonstrated high potential in various biomedical applications recently, especially in revealing the functional and…

A new development in photoacoustic (PA) imaging has been the use of compact, portable and low-cost laser diodes (LDs), but LD-based PA imaging suffers from low signal intensity recorded by the conventional transducers. A common method to…

While passive acoustic mapping (PAM) has been advanced for monitoring acoustic cavitation activity in focused ultrasound (FUS) therapy, achieving both real-time and high-quality imaging capabilities is still challenging. The angular…

In linear-array transducer based photoacoustic (PA) imaging, B-scan PA images are formed using the raw channel PA signals. Delay-and-Sum (DAS) is the most prevalent algorithm due to its simple implementation, but it leads to low quality…

This paper investigates the possibility of improving radio interferometric images using an algorithm inspired by an optical method known as "lucky imaging", which would give more weight to the best-calibrated visibilities used to make a…

Recent random-forest (RF)-based image super-resolution approaches inherit some properties from dictionary-learning-based algorithms, but the effectiveness of the properties in RF is overlooked in the literature. In this paper, we present a…

In Ultrasound (US) imaging, Delay and Sum (DAS) is the most common beamformer, but it leads to low quality images. Delay Multiply and Sum (DMAS) was introduced to address this problem. However, the reconstructed images using DMAS still…

In this study, we develop vector flow imaging techniques for multi-layered models with a high wavespeed contrast using photoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging. We use refraction-corrected delay-and-sum image reconstruction (RC-DAS), which…

Phase aberration is an inherent side effect of ultrasound imaging due to the speed of sound inhomogeneity nature of human tissues, resulting in focusing error and reduced image contrast. This work introduces a phase aberration correction…

This article discusses aeroacoustic imaging methods based on correlation measurements in the frequency domain. Standard methods in this field assume that the estimated correlation matrix is superimposed with additive white noise. In this…

Medical ultrasound provides images which are the spatial map of the tissue echogenicity. Unfortunately, an ultrasound image is a low-quality version of the expected Tissue Reflectivity Function (TRF) mainly due to the non-ideal Point Spread…

Factor analysis (FA) or principal component analysis (PCA) models the covariance matrix of the observed data as R = SS' + {\Sigma}, where SS' is the low-rank covariance matrix of the factors (aka latent variables) and {\Sigma} is the…

Coherent Plane Wave Compounding (CPWC) is widely used for ultrasound imaging. This technique involves sending plane waves into a sample at different transmit angles and recording the resultant backscattered echo at different receive…

Fourier ptychography (FP), as a computational imaging method, is a powerful tool to improve imaging resolution. Camera-scanning Fourier ptychography extends the application of FP from micro to macro creatively. Due to the non-ideal scanning…

Deployment of machine learning algorithms into real-world practice is still a difficult task. One of the challenges lies in the unpredictable variability of input data, which may differ significantly among individual users, institutions,…

Light-field microscopy (LFM) enables rapid volumetric imaging through single-frame acquisition and fast 3D reconstruction algorithms. The high speed and low phototoxicity of LFM make it highly suitable for real-time 3D fluorescence imaging,…

Covariance fitting (CF) is a comprehensive approach for direction of arrival (DoA) estimation, consolidating many common solutions. Standard practice is to use Euclidean criteria for CF, disregarding the intrinsic Hermitian…
