Abstract
An acoustic inspection system can be used to generate a surface profile of a component under inspection, and then can be used to perform the inspection on the component. The acoustic inspection system can obtain acoustic imaging data, e.g., FMC data, of the component. Then, the acoustic inspection system can apply a previously trained machine learning model to an encoded acoustic image, such as a TFM image, to generate a representation of the profile of one or more surfaces of the component. In this manner, no additional equipment is needed, which is more convenient and efficient than implementations that utilize additional components that are external to the acoustic inspection system.
