- the vertical search range is preset by the system. The smaller the range, the smaller the amount of calculation.
- Method 2 The calculation always starts from the shallowest depth node in the user-selected R0I, and the displacement result of each time the depth of the node is the initial value of the vertical data position offset of the node of the current depth, in this Based on the initial value, a small vertical search range is set for searching, thereby obtaining the maximum longitudinal offset of the envelope cross-correlation function. For the shallowest depth node in the ROI, special processing is required because the final longitudinal displacement result of the "node of the previous depth" is unknown. It is assumed that the depth position is a large vertical search range in the second frame data in the search, and the position with the highest correlation is found as the envelope longitudinal offset corresponding to the node.

Not high, which greatly reduces the amount of calculation.
