Efficient Acceleration for Total Focusing Method Based on Advanced Parallel Computing in FPGA
Total focusing method (TFM) has improved resolution and accuracy over traditional ultrasonic phased array technology. In this paper, an advanced parallel architecture in field programmable gate arrays is suggested to significantly accelerate the imaging efficiency of TFM. Several techniques are investigated, including the real-time concurrent calculation for time of flight, parallel generation of multiple pixels, and the Hilbert transform to the pixels array. This architecture achieves the real-time computation of the flight times for each pixel and the concurrent generation of double pixels for TFM imaging. Compared to conventional methods, the efficiency of TFM imaging is greatly accelerated and the impact from the increase of element and pixel number is also effectively reduced. Simulation data was used to verify the architecture, and experiment results confirmed that the efficiency was only related to the pulse repeated frequency and element number, which reaches to the physical limitation of TFM inspection. This approach also shows that high efficiency is maintained when pixel number increases, and a strict real-time imaging can be achieved in this architecture. As a result, an effective way for the fast inspection with TFM is provided.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration (IJAV) is the refereed open-access journal of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV). The IIAV is a non-profit international scientific society founded in 1995. The primary objective of the Institute is to advance the science of acoustics and vibration by creating an international organization that is responsive to the needs of scientists and engineers concerned with acoustics and vibration problems all around the world.
Manuscripts of articles, technical notes and letters-to-the-editor should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief via the on-line submission system. Authors wishing to submit an article need to log in on the IJAV website first. Users logged into the website are able to submit new articles, track the status of their articles already submitted, upload revised articles, responses and/or rebuttals to reviewers, figures, biographies, photographs, copyright transfer agreements, and send comments to the editor. Each time the status of an article submitted changes, the author will also be notified automatically by email.
IIAV members (in good standing for at least six months) can publish in IJAV free of charge and their papers will be displayed on-line immediately after they have been edited and laid-out.
Non-IIAV members will be required to pay a mandatory Article Processing Charge (APC) of $200 USD if the manuscript is accepted for publication after review. The APC fee allows IIAV to make your research freely available to all readers using the Open Access model.
In addition, Non-IIAV members who pay an extra voluntary publication fee (EVPF) of $500 USD will be granted expedited publication in the IJAV Journal and their papers can be displayed on the Internet after acceptance. If the $200 USD (APC) publication fee is not honored, papers will not be published. Authors who do not pay the voluntary fixed fee of $500 USD will have their papers published but there may be a considerable delay.
The English text of the papers must be of high quality. If the text submitted is of low quality the manuscript will be more than likely rejected. For authors whose first language is not English, we recommend having their manuscripts reviewed and edited prior to submission by a native English speaker with scientific expertise. There are many commercial editing services which can provide this service at a cost to the authors.
