New Wavelet Theory and Application in Nondestructive Testing

【Abstract】 A new ultrasound signal processing model that provides fast real-time performance was devel- oped. The model is based on the “rotation angle series fast wavelet transform” algorithm developed for real- time digital signal processing. Instead of the traditional convolution-based algorithms, the algorithm uses a cascaded structure which can be quickly implemented on digital signal processors. The algorithm runs twice as fast as and is more flexible than the fast wavelet transform, and is applicable for multi-channel and phased array ultrasound systems. By using this algorithm, multi-channel ultrasound systems, including phased array ultrasound systems can have less complex software and hardware designs, lower cost, smaller size, and especially more powerful functions.更多还原
