Imaging acoustic sources through scattering media by using a correlation full-matrix filter

Abstract In the inhomogeneous medium, acoustic scattering is always a fundamental challenge for photoacoustic imaging. We implement a correlation full-matrix filter (CFMF) combing with a time reversal operator to improve the imaging quality of acoustic sources in complex media. The correlation full-...

description Abstract In the inhomogeneous medium, acoustic scattering is always a fundamental challenge for photoacoustic imaging.
