This study introduces a robust semi-sparse deconvolution algorithm for ultrasonic testing. The new method improves deconvolution accuracy by being less sensitive to variations in the prototype signal, enhancing non-destructive testing reproducibility.

Area of Science:

  • Ultrasonic pulse-echo inspection
  • Non-destructive testing
  • Signal processing

Background:

  • Received ultrasonic signals are modeled as convolution of prototype and reflection sequence.
  • Deconvolution aims to improve time resolution for closely spaced reflectors.
  • Classical Wiener filter and semi-sparse deconvolution are common methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a semi-sparse deconvolution algorithm robust to prototype variations.
  • To address the issue of poor reproducibility caused by inaccurate prototype selection in deconvolution.
  • To enhance the reliability of deconvolution in ultrasonic non-destructive testing.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of an existing non-robust semi-sparse deconvolution algorithm.
  • Inclusion of a stochastic model for prototype variations into the signal model.

  • Algorithm derivation based on the modified signal model.

    • Main Results:

    • The robust algorithm demonstrates reduced sensitivity to prototype deviations compared to the non-robust version.
    • The proposed algorithm provides better estimates than its non-robust counterpart and the Wiener filter.
    • Experiments with simulated and real ultrasonic data validate the algorithm's effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • The new robust semi-sparse deconvolution algorithm improves deconvolution performance in ultrasonic testing.
    • The algorithm offers better reproducibility and accuracy, especially when dealing with variations in echo responses.
    • This method is beneficial for practical applications requiring reliable deconvolution from similar but slightly different echoes.
