Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting, by ultrasound, defects in a material (MS), comprising the steps of transmitting, by M transmitters of index i, and receiving, at sampling times n.Te, by means of M receivers of index j, signals x(n, i, j), forming a sampling matrix (A?) having N columns Yn formed by the signals x(n, i, j) for which a distance between the receiver of index j and the transmitter of index i is equal to the deviation ? and rows Xi,j formed by the signals x(n, i, j), the pair i, j being different from one row Xi,j to the next, calculating a covariance matrix (C?) for the projections Xi,jproj,k of the rows Xi,j of the matrix (A?) on the K eigenvectors (Vk) corresponding to the K largest eigenvalues (?k), subtracting, from each row Xi,j, the K projections Xi,jproj,k to obtain residual measurement signals x*(n, i, j) for detecting defects.
