Spectral analysis method of electrophysical non-destructive testing data

A computational method for spectral analysis of the electrophysical test results based on sequential mathematical algorithm transformations using a discrete linear response function has been developed. The procedure for constructing spectral functions has a certain order and is aimed at obtaining adequate results of the experimental sample approximation in the frequency domain. It is shown that use of the low-frequency FIR filter function as part of the convolution, together with the fast Fourier transform, gives accurate results for structural inhomogeneities localization in welded joints.

A Hardware–Software System for Tomographic Reconstruction

We present the design of a hardware–software system for the reconstruction of tomographic images. In a systematic approach we developed the parallel processor array, a reconfigurable hardware controller and processing kernel, and the software control up to the integration into a graphical user interface. The processor array acting as a hardware accelerator, is constructed using theoretical results and methods of application-specific hardware design. The reconfigurability of the system allows one to utilize a much wider realm of algorithms than the three reconstruction algorithms implemented so far. In the paper we discuss the system design at different levels from algorithm transformations to board development.
