Regularized Capon Beamformer Using ℓ1-Norm Applied to Photoacoustic Imaging

Delay-and-Sum (DAS), as a non-adaptive beamforming method, is one of the most common algorithms used in Photoacoustic imaging due to its simple implementation. The results obtained from this algorithm suffer from low resolution and high sidelobes. The adaptive Minimum variance (MV) method improves the image quality compared to DAS in terms of...
