Abstract

A realistic log-compressed law for ultrasound images based on a real device is proposed. The model takes into account the linear behavior of the logarithmic amplifier for small signal gain which transforms image values in a different way as the classical models do. Additionally, for recovery purposes, a method for the estimation of the compression parameters is also proposed when a realistic log-compressed law is considered. Results with synthetic images show that the proposed method achieved a consistent Rayleigh parameter estimate with a very low error. Experiments with real images show that the inversion method is consistent through the whole acquisition process when parameters of the logarithmic amplifier are assumed constant.
