Abstract
Examples of the present subject matter provide techniques for enhancing images taken from non-destructive inspection techniques, such as acoustic inspection. A source 3D data may be acquired representing an object. Rather than displaying the source 3D data, signal processing may be employed to enhance the flaws or defects in the source 3D data. A geometry template of the object may be created using the source 3D data. The source 3D data may be compared to the geometry template, and based on the comparison, an enhanced 3D image may be generated.
