      abstract = {This book covers the practical implementation of  ultrasonic NDT techniques in an industrial environment,  discussing several issues that may emerge and proposing  strategies for addressing them successfully. It aims to  bridge advanced academic research results and their  application to industrial procedures. The topics covered in  the text range from the basic operation of an ultrasonic  NDT system to the simulation of the measurement operations;  from the choice and generation of the signals energizing  the system to the different ways of exploiting the probes  and their output signals; and from quality assessment  evaluation to the use of soft computing techniques for  classification. Throughout the text, an effort is made to  embrace a system view where the physical and technological  aspects of sensing are addressed together with higher  abstraction levels, such as signal and information  processing. Consequently, the book aims at guiding the  reader through the various tasks requested for developing a  complete ultrasonic imaging system for nondestructive  testing, up to the perspective goal of automatic  classification of the outputs of a production line. The  presentation is reinforced by many applicable examples,  proposed in the last chapters. The content of this book is  the result of the common effort of four University Research  Groups that focused their research activities for two years  on this specific objective, working in direct conjunction  with primary industrial firms, in a research project funded  by the Italian government as a Strategic Research Project.  ʺ Discusses the cycle from signal generation, propagation,  collection by sensors, and data analysis ʺ Covers the  implementation of ultrasonic NDT techniques in the  perspective of a complete system setup including  classification of product line output ʺ Presents recent  theoretical advances and fundamental issues for their  practical implementation},
