This study introduces a new normalized split-spectrum (NSS) detector for identifying ultrasonic echo pulses within noisy grain backgrounds. The NSS method improves automatic detection by focusing on frequency tuning sensitivity, outperforming existing techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Ultrasonic testing
  • Signal processing
  • Non-destructive evaluation

Background:

  • Automatic detection of ultrasonic echo pulses is challenging due to grain noise.
  • Existing optimal solutions are limited by noise model assumptions and spectral constraints.
  • Suboptimum approaches like split-spectrum (SS) are explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved method for automatic ultrasonic echo pulse detection in grain noise.
  • To introduce a novel normalized split-spectrum (NSS) detector.
  • To evaluate the performance of the NSS detector against existing methods.

Main Methods:

  • Modeling grain noise using a multivariate correlated Gaussian model.
  • Formulating split-spectrum (SS) algorithms using an algebraic approach.
