Version
2024.1 English

This kernel is used to compute the delay in reception for every transducer. It also sums the delay in transmission to obtain the valid samples for the interpolation.

  • Template params:
    • T: type of the operation;
    • NUM_LINE_t: number of scanlines;
    • NUM_ELEMENT_t: number of transducer’s elements;
    • VECDIM_sample_t: dimension of the SIMD to be performed. Addressed in the Xilinx UG1076, it depends on the type chosen;
    • LEN_IN_sample_t: number of inputdata per invoking;
    • LEN_OUT_sample_t: number of outputdata per invoking;
    • LEN32b_PARA_sample_t: number of inputdata per invoking;
  • Kernel Inputs:
    • para_const: kernel_samples self-used structural parameter include sampling frequency, inverse speed of sound, and so on. Its definition can be seen in L1/include/kernel_sample.hpp.
    • para_rfdim: Input array, used to filter whether the input rf-data of each scanline is in the region of interest;
    • para_elem: X-Y-Z vector which represents the positions of our transducers in the probe;
    • in_img_x: The result of kernel_imagepoints in x-dimension;
    • in_img_z: The result of kernel_imagepoints in z-dimension;
    • in_delay: Result of kernel_delay;
  • Kernel Outputs:
    • out_sample: A vector that represents our valid entries in the rf-data vector;
    • out_inside: A vector with only 0 and 1 values, which represents whether each element of our rf-data vector is in the region of interest;
