Abstract
The development of an ultrasonic reflection tomography system is descr ibed. The system is intended for the imaging of two component flows (s uch as gas/water) inside pipes of industrial processes. Data acquisiti on is performed using a digital signal processor and a network of para llel processors perform the image reconstruction. Real-time images are obtained at rates of up to 55 frames per second using 36 non-intrusiv e transducer elements in a 4 inch pipe.
