Article Synopsis
- Plane wave imaging (PWI) is used for high-resolution ultrasonic inspections, but existing methods require knowledge of component geometry for effective imaging.
- A new technique called PWI adapted in postprocessing (PWAPP) allows for imaging without the need for prior geometric information, using captured data to reconstruct components and adapt the imaging process.
- PWAPP demonstrated superior results in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared to conventional PWI across various experiments, proving effective even with fewer transmission firings.
