Method for the Non-Destructive Testing of an Object

Inspecting critical objects for hidden damage or flaws usually requires knowing the exact physical location of the testing tool, which can be difficult to track accurately in real time. This invention introduces a smart ultrasound-based method that automatically calculates the precise coordinates of a testing probe as it moves across an object. By sending signals from at least three different transmitters and measuring the exact time differences of how those signals reach the probe, the system instantly maps the tool's exact position. This ensures reliable, nondestructive testing with pinpoint accuracy, while a similar approach can also be applied using eddy currents.
