Abstract: A method for the non-destructive testing of the volume of a test object, during the course of which a volume raw image of the test object is recorded by a suitable non-destructive imaging testing method. Then, those regions of the volume raw image are identified that are not to be attributed to the test object material. It is checked whether an identified region is completely embedded in regions that are to be associated with the test object material. If necessary, such a region is assimilated to those regions that are to be associated with the test object material, forming a filled volume raw image. Finally, a difference is generated between the volume raw image and the filled volume raw image, forming a first flaw image.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that reduce the amount of data that is transferred among the components of the system. In one embodiment, the testing system comprises a scanner device such as a computed-tomography (CT) scanner that generates a volumetric representation of a part-under-inspection. The testing system is further configured to identify a region of interest in the volumetric representation, wherein the region of interest may correspond to an area of the part-under-inspection where a defect or flaw may form. The testing system may further format the data of the volumetric representation so the resulting formatted volumetric representation comprises less data than the original volumetric representation.

Abstract: Non-destructive testing and examination systems and methods generate models and other representations of a part. These models can be used to perform analysis such as defect detection and categorization. The present disclosure identifies, in one embodiment, a method and system that identifies particular locations on the part for analysis. These locations correspond to regions of a reference model, which may comprise a representation of the part that a computer aided design (CAD) package can generate. The method provides for test parameters to be assigned or associated with the region so as to direct and instruct the execution of the relevant part analysis protocols. In one example, the test parameters identify criteria for one or more types of defects that may be found on the part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining a corresponding image of a moving object for a reference image from an image sequence which represents the motion as a sequence of states of motion. To this end, two motion signals, representing the development of the relevant motions, are examined for similarities. Using the similarity function thus obtained, that image in the image sequence can be determined which represents at least approximately the state of motion of the object which is represented in the reference image. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system which is suitable for carrying out the method as well as to a computer program and a computer program product enabling a data processing unit to carry out the method.
