Background: This study is carried out targeting the problem of slow response time and performance degradation of imaging system caused by large data of medical ultrasonic imaging. In view of the advantages of CS, it is applied to medical ultrasonic imaging to solve the above problems. Objective: Under the condition of satisfying the speed of ultrasound imaging, the quality of imaging can be further improved to provide the basis for accurate medical diagnosis. Methods: According to CS theory and the characteristics of the array ultrasonic imaging system, block compressed sensing ultrasonic imaging algorithm is proposed based on wavelet sparse representation. Results: Three kinds of observation matrices have been designed on the basis of the proposed algorithm, which can be selected to reduce the number of the linear array channels and the complexity of the ultrasonic imaging system to some extent. Conclusion: The corresponding simulation program is designed, and the result shows that this algorithm can greatly reduce the total data amount required by imaging and the number of data channels required for linear array transducer to receive data. The imaging effect has been greatly improved compared with that of the spatial frequency domain sparse algorithm.

Irregular sampled gravity data are often interpolated into regular grid data for convenience of data processing and interpretation. The compressed sensing theory provides a signal reconstruction method that can recover a sparse signal from far fewer samples. We have introduced a gravity data reconstruction method based on the nonequispaced Fourier transform (NFT) in the framework of compressed sensing theory. We have developed a sparsity analysis and a reconstruction algorithm with an iterative cooling thresholding method and applied to the gravity data of the Bishop model. For 2D data reconstruction, we use two methods to build the weighting factors: the Gaussian function and the Voronoi method. Both have good reconstruction results from the 2D data tests. The 2D reconstruction tests from different sampling rates and comparison with the minimum curvature and the kriging methods indicate that the reconstruction method based on the NFT has a good reconstruction result even with few sampling data.

To reconstruct compressed sensing (CS) signal fast and accurately, this paper proposes an improved discrete differential evolution (IDDE) algorithm based on fuzzy clustering for CS reconstruction. Aiming to overcome the shortcomings of traditional CS reconstruction algorithm, such as heavy dependence on sparsity and low precision of reconstruction, a discrete differential evolution (DDE) algorithm based on improved kernel fuzzy clustering is designed. In this algorithm, fuzzy clustering algorithm is used to analyze the evolutionary population, which improves the pertinence and scientificity of population learning evolution while realizing effective clustering. The differential evolutionary particle coding method and evolutionary mechanism are redefined. And the improved fuzzy clustering discrete differential evolution algorithm is applied to CS reconstruction algorithm, in which signal with unknown sparsity is considered as particle coding. Then the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) sparse signal is accurately reconstructed through the iterative evolution of population. Finally, simulations are carried out in the WSNs data acquisition environment. Results show that compared with traditional reconstruction algorithms such as StOMP, the reconstruction accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this paper is improved by 36.4-51.9%, and the reconstruction time is reduced by 15.1-31.3%.

In signal processing, several applications necessitate the efficient reprocessing and representation of data. Compression is the standard approach that is used for effectively representing the signal. In modern era, many new techniques are developed for compression at the sensing level. Compressed sensing (CS) is a rising domain that is on the basis of disclosure, which is a little gathering of a sparse signal’s linear projections including adequate information for reconstruction. The sampling of the signal is permitted by the CS at a rate underneath the Nyquist sampling rate while relying on the sparsity of the signals. Additionally, the reconstruction of the original signal from some compressive measurements can be authentically exploited using the varied reconstruction algorithms of CS. This paper intends to exploit a new compressive sensing algorithm for reconstructing the signal in bio-medical data. For this purpose, the signal can be compressed by undergoing three stages: designing of stable measurement matrix, signal compression and signal reconstruction. In this, the compression stage includes a new working model that precedes three operations. They are signal transformation, evaluation of [Formula: see text] and normalization. In order to evaluate the theta ([Formula: see text]) value, this paper uses the Haar wavelet matrix function. Further, this paper ensures the betterment of the proposed work by influencing the optimization concept with the evaluation procedure. The vector coefficient of Haar wavelet function is optimally selected using a new optimization algorithm called Average Fitness-based Glowworm Swarm Optimization (AF-GSO) algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed model is compared over the traditional methods like Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Firefly (FF), Crow Search (CS) and Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO) algorithms.

This contribution presents a compressed sensing (CS)-based ultrasonic imaging system for fast, low-cost inspection of metallic cargo containers. The idea is to detect the footprint of metallic objects within the container that can be used to conceal smuggling goods. This ultrasonic technology can complement currently deployed X-ray-based radiographic systems and millimeter-wave scanners, thus increasing the probability of detection. The proposed hardware consists of an array of acoustic transceivers that is attached to the metallic structure of the metallic cargo container to create a guided acoustic wave. Variations in the thickness of the metallic structure create reflections that can be located by backpropagating the measured reflected wave. Aiming to reduce the number of acoustic transceivers, this contribution evaluates the feasibility of applying CS techniques in the proposed acoustic imaging system. It has been observed that in the majority of the cases, the acoustic images retrieved by the cargo inspection system are sparse, that is, only those image pixels corresponding to discontinuities in the metallic plate (due to gaps, joints, placement of a metallic object on it) are different from zero. Thus, sparsity condition, which is one of the CS requirements, is satisfied for this particular application. A simulation-based example resembling a real case of cargo inspection is considered for validation purposes. A comparison between standard backpropagation and CS for different number of samples is presented, proving that CS is able to recover the acoustic image with as few as 10% of the samples required by Nyquist sampling rate.

Signal recovery is a key issue in compressed sensing field. A new greedy reconstruction algorithm termed Optimised Stagewise Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OSOMP) is proposed, which is an improved version for Stagewise Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (StOMP). In preselection step, OSOMP chooses several coordinates with a calculated threshold to accelerate the convergence of algorithm. In following pruning step, a small proportion of selected coordinates are discarded according to the amplitude of estimated signal, thus most false discovered coordinates can be swept away. Experimental results show that in OSOMP, the scale of estimated support can be controlled very well, and the successful recovery rate is also much higher than that in StOMP.
