ADVANCED VISUALIZATION AND INTERPRETATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE EVALUATION OF ULTRASONIC DATA - THE NDT WORKBENCH

With increasingly sophisticated data acquisition systems there is stil l an enormous potential for advanced NDT processing and visualisation frameworks. This paper discusses the most recent version of the NDT Wo rkbench, a workstation-based platform for the evaluation and visualisa tion of NDT data. A well-defined software structure is proposed consis ting of a number of separate elements, each performing a separate anal ysis task. Both in-house and commercial software are integrated into a user-friendly framework which utilises an X-Windows system graphical interface.
