  • 3D acoustic imaging using sensor array, longitudinal wave and algebraic reconstruction
    Publication number: 20060071668
    Abstract: A mobile platform is provided which has at least one component having an array of distributed piezoelectric transmitters and an associated array of distributed receivers. The receivers are configured to receive ultrasonic transmissions from the transmitters. Data from the receivers is stored in memory and processed through an algebraic reconstruction tomography algorithm which forms an image of the defect within the component. An algorithm is used to determine the position and size of the defect.
    Type: Application
