Abstract

A system comprising a computer readable storage device readable by the system, tangibly embodying a program having a set of instructions executable by the system to perform the following steps for indication confirmation for detecting a sub-surface defect, the set of instructions comprising: an instruction to initialize a transducer starting location and a transducer orientation responsive to a prior determination of a potential flaw location; an instruction to optimize an observation point of the transducer responsive to the transducer starting location and the transducer orientation responsive to a flaw response model; an instruction to move the transducer to the observation point location and orientation; an instruction to collect the scan data at the observation point location and orientation; and an instruction to analyze the scan data to extract a measure of the flaw response model; and an instruction to update the flaw response model.
