Moving Average Hybrid FIR Filter in Ultrasound Image Processing

In this work, we present a novel technique for ultrasound image processing (2D signals). The moving average hybrid FIR filter (MAH-FIR) which it work with two different FIR filter, the moving average (MA) and median hybrid (FMH) filters. We experimented with continuous linear regression function and...

Description
Summary:In this work, we present a novel technique for ultrasound image processing (2D signals). The moving average hybrid FIR filter (MAH-FIR) which it work with two different FIR filter, the moving average (MA) and median hybrid (FMH) filters. We experimented with continuous linear regression function and Lagrange multiplier to obtain the approximation of the MA-FIR and FMH-FIR filters, respectively. Furthermore, we showed both filters composed into a block diagram. Finally, we present evaluations qualitative and quantitative of ultrasound image processing.
