Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are described that reduce the amount of data that is transferred among the components of the system. In one embodiment, the testing system comprises a scanner device such as a computed-tomography (CT) scanner that generates a volumetric representation of a part-under-inspection. The testing system is further configured to identify a region of interest in the volumetric representation, wherein the region of interest may correspond to an area of the part-under-inspection where a defect or flaw may form. The testing system may further format the data of the volumetric representation so the resulting formatted volumetric representation comprises less data than the original volumetric representation.
