Restoration of ultrasonic images using non-linear system identification and deconvolution (regular paper) [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This paper studies a new ultrasound image restoration method based on a non-linear forward model. A Hammerstein polynomial-based non-linear image formation model is considered to identify the system impulse response in baseband and around the second harmonic. The identification process is followed by a joint deconvolution technique minimizing an appropriate cost function. This cost function is constructed from two data fidelity terms exploiting the linear and non-linear model components, penalized by an additive-norm regularization enforcing sparsity of the solution. An alternating optimization approach is considered to minimize the penalized cost function, allowing the tissue reflectivity function to be estimated. Results on synthetic ultrasound images are finally presented to evaluate the algorithm performance.
