Two Approaches for Log-Compression Parameter Estimation: Comparative Study

Abstract

Standard ultrasound devices perform nonlinear compression reducing dynamic range of the signal. In order to reconstruct original signal it is necessery to find out statistics of the signal before and signal after compression. There are two techniques for compression parameter estimation or, that is equivalent, compressed signal reconstruction advised in literature. In the paper we perform comparison of these techniques both for computer generated signals and ultrasound images.
