PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved apparatus for imaging structural features below the surface of an object.SOLUTION: The apparatus for imaging structural features below the surface of an object, comprises: a transmitter unit configured to transmit a sound pulse at the object; a receiver unit configured to receive reflections of sound pulses transmitted by the transmitter unit from the object; a signal processing unit configured to analyze one or more signals received by the receiver unit from the object, recognize, in the one or more signals, a reflection that was caused by a first structural feature and a reflection that was caused by a second structural feature that is located, in the object, at least partly behind the first structural feature, and associate each recognized reflection with a relative depth in the object at which the reflection occurred; and an image generation unit configured to generate an image that includes a representation of the first and second structural features in dependence on the recognized reflections and their relative depths. |
