Graphical User Interface for Ultrasound Guided Wave Imaging

Abstract In order to more accurately grasp the exact shape, contour size and distribution of defects in the plate-like structures material and other detailed feature information, this paper designed the graphical user interface GUIGWT0.1, which is specifically used for ultrasonic guided wave imaging. This software integrates filtering back projection algorithm, damage probability reconstruction algorithm and diffraction tomography algorithm, which can image the plate-like structures structure as required, and develop the defect detection results to the visual direction. To investigate the validity of the interface, the projection data of lamb wave in the plate-like with a partial-thickness notch are numerically simulated by three-dimensional elastodynamic finite integration technique (EFIT). The resulting projected data is imported into the graphical user interface for imaging. For each existing reconstruction imaging, the result can be represented in terms of grayscale image of projected data, defect imaging, image color inversion and false color defect recognition. Through simple operation, reconstruction of image with defect of plate-like structure are obtained in the user interface.
