Inspecting high-stress materials like industrial parts or infrastructure for hidden damage is crucial, but scanning every square millimeter in high detail takes a massive amount of time and computing power. To solve this, this invention introduces a smart, two-step ultrasound testing method that works much like a medical zoom-in. First, a fast, coarse scan is run across the entire object to get a quick overview. If this initial scan detects a suspicious signal—such as an unusual echo above a specific threshold—the system automatically zooms in to perform a second, much higher-resolution scan only on that specific area.
