This project proposes to apply recent advances in the development          of processing algorithms and programmable integrated circuits to                nondestructive evaluation (NDE).  Two NDE research areas are                    addressed, data acquisition and flaw detection.  In data acquisition,           it is proposed to investigate the use of adaptive waveform coding to            reduce the sampling rate and the digitization word size and the use of          signal decimation to reduce sampling rate.  The significance of these           two areas of research is that a lower sampling rate, provided signal            fidelity is preserved, implies easier processing, and a reduced work            size requires smaller data storage.  In flaw detection, it is proposed          to carry out research in improving the resolution in pulse echo flaw            detection by signal correlation.
