Abstract
A method and an associated apparatus for imaging a target. An echo sequence image of the target is acquired and a log spectrum of at least a portion of the echo sequence image is computed. A low-resolution, shift-invariant wavelet projection of the echo sequence log spectrum is used as an estimate of the log spectrum of the point spread function. A frequency domain phase of the point spread function also is estimated. The relevant portion of the echo sequence image is deconvolved using the estimated point spread function.
