Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Various approaches are described for visualizing one-dimensional A-scan data samples in a three-dimensional space. Each of the data samples represents ultrasonic signals received from a test material. The data samples are transformed into the three-dimensional space as a geometric shape corresponding to a relative amount of ultrasonic energy reflected back from the test material. The data samples as transformed into the three-dimensional space with the geometric shapes rendered therein can be displayed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: using a computing unit to perform actions comprising: obtaining a plurality of one-dimensional A-scan data samples from an ultrasonic probe, each data sample representing ultrasonic signals received from a test material undergoing non-destructive testing, wherein each data sample indicates an amount of ultrasonic energy received from the test material at a time of occurrence; transforming the plurality of data sam…
