Abstract
Data indicative of displacement of an acoustic probe assembly (or motion of an imaging aperture associated therewith) can be extracted from acquired acoustic echo data to perform motion tracking without requiring a separate mechanical motion sensor. As an illustrative example, a deterministic noise pattern associated with a particular probe location can be identified and motion of the noise pattern can be used to provide an estimate of probe assembly motion. Such an estimate can be used to facilitate imaging corresponding to multiple probe locations in support of acoustic non-destructive testing (NDT) such as in relation to Phased Array Ultrasound Test (PAUT).
