The invention relates to a generalized sidelobe cancellation
ultrasonic imaging method based on mixed subspace projection, and belongs to the technical field of
ultrasonic imaging. The method comprises the following steps: preprocessing a received
echo signal; dividing sub-matrixes, and carrying out forward and backward
smoothing and
diagonal loading
processing to obtain a sample
covariance matrix; carrying out characteristic
decomposition on the sample
covariance matrix, and constructing a mixed
signal subspace according to the characteristic value of the sample
covariance matrix and the characteristic vector correlation between an expected
direction vector and the sample
covariance matrix; projecting the expected
direction vector of a generalized sidelobe canceller to a left singular space of the mixed
signal subspace, and constructing a new blocking matrix based on the improved expected
direction vector; forming a generalized sidelobe cancellation beam; projecting the weight of thewave beam to the mixed
signal subspace for correction; and carrying out weighted sum of an
echo signal by using the corrected weight. According to the method, the robustness and the
imaging quality ofa beam forming
algorithm can be remarkably improved.
