Sažetak
This paper presents visualization of an ultrasonic probe beam from a series of cross-section images. The goal was to simulate scanning with an ultrasonic probe as it would be done in real-life. Cross-section slices that represent the detection sensitivity of the probe were obtained by simulating a sound pressure field in the metal sample and were provided by INETEC. Different techniques for rendering the three-dimensional model of a sequence of images used for beam visualization in the making of the software are presented. The beam and its inner structure were rendered with the Volumetric Ray Marching algorithm while the polygonal mesh approximation was constructed with the Marching cubes algorithm. The final software was developed using the Unity engine. The results and visualization possibilities were presented and analyzed along with the possible improvements for the future work. The developed simulation software can be used as a helping tool in minimizing the number of redundant scans in search of defects inside an object structure during the quality control phase.
