Abstract :
In this paper, we proposed a new smoother FIR hybrid (SFH) structure to the enhance ultrasound image processing. Three particular cases are development into of the SFH structure, the linear, quadratic and cubic cases, respectively. Furthermore, we research the analysis noise power gain of each case and verified the quantitative performance of SFH structure with respect to N vs. root mean-square-error (RMSE) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) sense.
