Move the JHU Alpinion phantom data to jhu-pulselab/D_alpinion_phantom and credit JHU

Browse files

The four Alpinion L3-8 phantom acquisitions in `oslo/D_alpinion_phantom/` were acquired in 2017 by
Prof. Muyinatu A. Lediju Bell and Ole Marius Hoel Rindal at the PULSE Lab, Johns Hopkins University (JHU),
and are owned by JHU. This PR:

- adds the `jhu-pulselab/` collection card and `jhu-pulselab/D_alpinion_phantom/` with the four files renamed `JHU_Alpinion_L3-8_*.hdf5`, its data card,
`pipeline.yaml` and figures;
- deletes `oslo/D_alpinion_phantom/`;
- updates the Oslo collection card, `oslo/parameters.yaml`, the Oslo hero figure, and the Oslo sub-dataset cards
(which now cite the USTB IUS 2017 paper instead of the Zenodo record).

In each HDF5 file only `/metadata/credit` and the root `description` and `us_machine` attributes change; the
channel data and all scan/probe parameters are byte-identical, and the file sizes are unchanged.

The matching GitHub PR on open-h/Open-H-RF updates the reconstruction script and the website.

- A Delay-And-Sum `zea.Pipeline` (`cast -> demodulate -> delay-and-sum beamform -> envelope detect -> normalize -> log compress`; RF is demodulated in-pipeline, IQ uses a baseband pipeline) reconstructs every acquisition as a portable check that the recorded geometry and timing are correct (see *Processing the Dataset*).

26
+
27
+ Contributed by the **Photoacoustic & Ultrasonic Systems Engineering (PULSE) Lab, Johns Hopkins University (JHU)** to the [Open-H-RF](https://github.com/open-h/Open-H-RF) initiative. The data is owned by JHU. All data is pre-beamformed (raw channel-capture) ultrasound stored in the **zea** HDF5 format and released under **CC BY 4.0**.
28
+
29
+ These acquisitions are part of the **UltraSound ToolBox (USTB) Channel Capture Collection**, as sub-dataset D. The other sub-datasets (A–C, E and F) are in [`oslo/`](../oslo/README.md).
30
+
31
+ 4 acquisitions packaged into a single application sub-dataset. The sub-dataset folder contains its zea `.hdf5` files, a Hugging Face–style `README.md` data card, and reference B-mode images. The **`reconstruct.py` script and the `pipeline*.yaml` and `parameters.yaml` definitions are shared with the USTB collection and live once at its root** ([`oslo/`](../oslo/README.md)); the sub-dataset folder also holds a `pipeline.yaml` for its example acquisition. The data card declares `license: cc-by-4.0` in its YAML frontmatter.

53
+ ## Processing the Dataset
54
+
55
+ Every acquisition is reconstructable from the file alone — all acquisition parameters live in the zea `/scan` and `/probe` groups. The acquisitions can be processed with the `reconstruct.py` [script](https://github.com/open-h/Open-H-RF/blob/main/datasets/oslo/reconstruct.py) of the USTB collection, as provided in the [Open-H-RF GitHub repository](https://github.com/open-h/Open-H-RF), together with the `pipeline*.yaml` and `parameters.yaml` definitions in [`oslo/`](../oslo/README.md) and the [zea library](https://github.com/tue-bmd/zea). The script streams the data from the Hugging Face Hub: set `PATHS` to the acquisition to reconstruct and `REFOCUS = True` to also emit the REFoCUS variant (see the USTB collection card's [Reconstruction Details](../oslo/README.md#reconstruction-details)). The sub-dataset folder also holds a `pipeline.yaml` for its example acquisition, so it can be rendered with a single `zea process` command (see the [sub-dataset card](D_alpinion_phantom/README.md)).
