Abstract: A phase-based approach can be used for one or more of acquisition, storage, or subsequent analysis, e.g., A-scan reconstruction or Total Focusing Method imaging, in support of acoustic inspection. For example, binarization or other quantization technique can be used to compress a data volume associated with time-series signal acquisition. A representation of phase information from the time-series signal can be generated, such as by processing the binarized or otherwise quantized time-series signal. Using the representation of the phase information, a phase summation technique can be used to perform one or more of A-scan reconstruction, such as for pulse-echo A-scan inspection, or a TFM imaging technique can be used, as illustrative examples. In such a phase summation approach, time-series representations of phase data can be summed, such as where each time-series can be delayed (or phase rotated) by an appropriate delay value and then aggregated.

Abstract: Generally, in a non-destructive test application, a compressed representation of an acoustic echo signal acquired by a non-destructive test (NDT) probe assembly can be received, such as via a network. The compressed representation can include data indicative of changes in phase values of the acoustic echo signal. Using the compressed representation, a time-domain representation of an instantaneous phase signal can be constructed from the compressed representation. The constructed instantaneous phase signal can be used in constructing at least one of an uncompressed acoustic echo signal representation or an image. As an illustration, amplitude values of sampled acoustic echo signals can be suppressed in the compressed representation, reducing data volume associated with transmitting a representation of the acquired acoustic echo signal.

Abstract: An acoustic inspection system can be used to generate a surface profile of a component under inspection, and then can be used to perform the inspection on the component. The acoustic inspection system can obtain acoustic imaging data, e.g., FMC data, of the component. Then, the acoustic inspection system can apply a previously trained machine learning model to an encoded acoustic image, such as a TFM image, to generate a representation of the profile of one or more surfaces of the component. In this manner, no additional equipment is needed, which is more convenient and efficient than implementations that utilize additional components that are external to the acoustic inspection system.

Abstract: Examples of the present subject matter provide techniques for calculating amplitude fidelity (AF) for a variety of grid resolutions using a single TFM image of a specified flaw. Thus, the grid resolution may be set so that it yields a desired AF using a calculation process without performing a blind iterative process. Moreover, examples of the present subject matter may measure AF in more than one axis, improving accuracy.
