Density information has been used as a property of sound to restore objects in a quantitative manner in ultrasound tomography based on backscatter theory. In the traditional method, the authors only study the distorted Born iterative method (DBIM) to create density images using Tikhonov regularization. The downside is that the image quality is still low, the resolution is low, the convergence rate is not high. In this paper, we study the DBIM method to create density images using compressive sampling technique. With compressive sampling technique, the probes will be randomly distributed on the measurement system (unlike the traditional method, the probes are evenly distributed on the measurement system). This approach uses the l1 regularization to restore images. The proposed method will give superior results in image recovery quality, spatial resolution. The limitation of this method is that the imaging time is longer than the one in the traditional method, but the less number of iterations is used in this method.

In this work, a measurement system is developed based on acoustic resonance which can be used for classification of materials. Basically, the inspection methods based on acoustic, utilized for containers screening in the field, identification of defective pills hold high significance in the fields of health, security and protection. However, such techniques are constrained by costly instrumentation, offline analysis and complexities identified with transducer holder physical coupling. So a simple, non-destructive and amazingly cost effective technique in view of acoustic resonance has been formulated here for quick data acquisition and analysis of acoustic signature of liquids for their constituent identification and classification. In this system, there are two ceramic coated piezoelectric transducers attached at both ends of V-shaped glass, one is act as transmitter and another as receiver. The transmitter generates sound with the help of white noise generator. The pick up transducer on another end of the V-shaped glass rod detects the transmitted signal. The recording is being done with arduino interfaced to computer. The FFTs of recorded signals are being analyzed and the resulted resonant frequency observed for water, water+salt and water+sugar are 4.8 KHz, 6.8 KHz and 3.2 KHz respectively. The different resonant frequency in case different sample is being observed which shows that the developed prototype model effectively classifying the materials.
