In order to solve the problems of spatial resolution limit and reduce the measurement cost, the compressive sensing theory and the sparse regularization are applied to the near-field acoustic holography (NAH) technology. In the previous works, the Equivalent Source Method (ESM)-based NAH has been extended in the sparsity framework by sampling the sound pressure signals sparsely. However, this Compressive ESM (CESM) mode would suffer from the low precision problem in the particle velocity reconstruction. To improve the reconstruction accuracy of the particle velocity, this paper is going to take the sparse particle velocity as the input of NAH to establish a new CESM mode based on the particle velocity measurement. In the meantime, the number of sampling points will be reduced greatly without losing the reconstruction accuracy when compared to the conventional ESM with the Tikhonov regularization based on the particle velocity measurement. Several numerical simulation experiments have been carried out to examine the performance of the proposed model. The results show that the proposed model delivers a satisfactory performance in the reconstruction of both the pressure and particle velocity on the condition that the number of sampling points is much smaller than that of the conventional ESM, and the proposed model performs much better than the existing CESM mode based on the sound pressure measurement especially when reconstructing the particle velocity.
