Graphical Interface for an Adaptive Ultrasonic Imaging System
Senior Project: 1993-1994
An ultrasonic system, based on reflection seismology, has been developed at the
National Institute of Standards and Technology for imaging defects in thick
composite materials. A number of high-power, wide directivity point sources
broadcast a sound field into the material to be inspected. Scattering and
reflections from internal structures, which return to the surface, are sampled
by a large number of point receivers. The receiving array signals are processed
to produce cross-sectional images of the material. The purpose of this project
was to develop a graphical user interface for controlling the imaging system
hardware and for display of raw data and the reconstructed image. It was
developed on a PC using LabView, an environment for developing user interfaces
to and software control of laboratory equipment.
