    Area of Science:

    • Ultrasonic imaging
    • Non-destructive testing
    • Array signal processing

    Background:

    • Synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is crucial for high-resolution imaging.
    • Imaging through arbitrarily shaped interfaces presents significant challenges due to complex wave propagation and refraction.
    • Accurate knowledge of probe-part geometry is often required for conventional methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel auto-focused virtual source imaging (AVSI) method.
    • To enable high-resolution synthetic aperture focusing through arbitrarily shaped interfaces.
    • To overcome limitations of existing ultrasonic imaging techniques in two-media scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Obtain component surface shape using time-of-flight (TOF) measurements.
    • Create virtual sources/receivers by focusing array subapertures at interface normal incidence points.
    • Apply synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) to received signals for image generation.

    Main Results:

    • AVSI eliminates the need for prior probe-part geometry knowledge.
    • Refraction complications are avoided by performing SAFT solely in the second medium.
    • Achieved higher signal-to-noise ratio and resolution compared to conventional SAFT and phased-array imaging.
    • Experimental results demonstrate good agreement with theoretical predictions.

    Conclusions:

    • AVSI is an effective method for high-resolution ultrasonic imaging across arbitrarily shaped interfaces.
    • The technique simplifies data acquisition and processing, reducing hardware complexity.
    • AVSI offers significant advantages for ultrasonic imaging in complex two-media environments.
