Accuracy improvement of small defect detection for ultrasonic inspection by using scientific visual analysis

When we diagnose the structural integrity of a steel member in service and evaluate its remaining life time, we need to improve analyzing method to get the accurate information of a internal defect of a member. And by the recent demand for high level quality control of welding of steel joint the accuracy improvement of defect detection in the image display became essential in nondestructive evaluation (NDE)[1][2][3]. So far the defect information obtained by an ultrasonic test is displayed in several ways and A-scan and B-scan displays are commonly used in a field inspection and C-scan display is used in laboratory test of the steel structural member[4][5].
