Resolution Enhancement in Ultrasonic TOFD Imaging by Combining Sparse Deconvolution and Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (Sparse-SAFT)

Abstract The shallow subsurface defects are difficult to be identified and quantified by ultrasonic time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) due to the low resolution induced by pulse width and beam spreading. In this paper, Sparse-SAFT is proposed to improve the time resolution and lateral resolution in T...
