Abstract
A full matrix capture (FMC) acoustic acquisition technique can be modified in a manner to compensate for one or more of variation from a nominal distance between an acoustic transducer array and the structure being scanned, or a variation from a nominal angle (e.g., inclination or declination) of the array surface with respect to the structure being scanned. Such modification can include determining incremental delay factors to be added or removed from nominal delay values in A-Scan data based on offset values corresponding to the transmit and receive transducer elements (or apertures) used for acquiring a particular A-Scan instance. The compensated A-Scan data in the FMC acquisition can then be used TFM imaging, for example.
