TABLE II.
Beamformer performance metrics for the four algorithms (delay sum and integrate (DSI), robust Capon Beamforming (RCB), Phase Coherence Factor Masked DSI (PDSI), and Amplitude Coherence Factor Masked DSI (ADSI)) for each Source Pattern with a Source Density of 7.5×105 Sources/mL. Spatial Filter Thresholds were Based on Precision-Recall Analysis. Bolded Numbers Highlight the Maximum Values for the Beamformer Performance Binary Classifier Metrics. Italicized Numbers are Statistically Significantly Lower than the Maximum Values.
