Abstract
An apparatus and method for processing an ultrasound image in various sensor conditions are provided. The method includes receiving a data cube via sensors, transforming the received data cube into focus data through beam focusing, and outputting inphase data and quadrature phase data for the focus data using a neural network corresponding to signal adder and Hilbert transform functions. The method further includes detecting an envelope of the inphase data and the quadrature phase data and reconstructing an ultrasound image for the data cube using log compression.
