Fourier dimensionality reduction for fast radio transients

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Vijay Kartik, Ming Jiang

In the context of next-generation radio interferometers, we are facing a big challenge of how to economically process data. The classical dimensionality reduction technique, averaging visibilities on time, may dilute fast radio transients (FRT). We propose ...

A Physical Model of Non-stationary Blur in Ultrasound Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Paul Hurley, Dimitris Perdios, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Marcel Arditi

Conventional ultrasound (US) imaging relies on delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming which retrieves a radio- frequency (RF) image, a blurred estimate of the tissue reflectivity function (TRF). Despite the non-stationarity of the blur induced by propagation effe ...

Joint Sparsity with Partially Known Support and Application to Ultrasound Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

We investigate the benefits of known partial support for the recovery of joint-sparse signals and demonstrate that it is advantageous in terms of recovery performance for both rank-blind and rank-aware algorithms. We suggest extensions of several joint-spa ...

Pulse-Stream Models In Time-Of-Flight Imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

This paper considers the problem of reconstructing raw signals from random projections in the context of time-of-flight imaging with an array of sensors. It presents a new signal model, coined as multi-channel pulse-stream model, which exploits pulse-strea ...

Compressive Multiplexing of Ultrasound Signals

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Marcel Arditi

High-quality 3D ultrasound (US) imaging requires dense matrix-array probes with thousands of elements and necessitates an unrealistic number of coaxial cables to connect such probes to back-end systems. To address this issue, many techniques have been deve ...

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging as an inverse problem: Matrix-free sparse image reconstruction

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Florian Martinez, Marcel Arditi

Conventional ultrasound (US) image reconstruction methods rely on delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming, which is a relatively poor solution of the image reconstruction problem. An alternative to DAS consists in using iterative techniques which require both an a ...

Beamforming-deconvolution: A novel concept of deconvolution for ultrasound imaging

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Adrien Georges Jean Besson

In ultrasound (US) imaging, beamforming is usually separated from the deconvolution or some other post-processing techniques. The former processes raw data to build radio-frequency (RF) images while the latter restore high-resolution images, denoted as tis ...

USSR: An UltraSound Sparse Regularization framework

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Dimitris Perdios, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Florian Martinez

Ultrafast ultrasound (US) imaging uses unfocused waves to insonify the whole medium of interest at once, allowing pulse-echo US imaging to achieve very high frame rates, at the cost of a lower image quality. In this paper, we present USSR, an UltraSound Sp ...

Fourier dimensionality reduction of radio-interferometric data

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Vijay Kartik

Next-generation radio-interferometers face a computing challenge with respect to the imaging techniques that can be applied in the big data setting in which they are designed. Dimensionality reduction can thus provide essential savings of computing resourc ...

Robust dimensionality reduction for interferometric imaging of Cygnus A

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Vijay Kartik

Extremely high data rates expected in next-generation radio interferometers necessitate a fast and robust way to process measurements in a big data context. Dimensionality reduction can alleviate computational load needed to process these data, in terms of ...
