Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
We have recently developed a software system, called DETECT/NDE, which provides a powerful environment for processing and visualizing large ultrasonic data sets. This system runs on X-Windows UNIX workstations and on VAX/VMS computers, and combines interactive graphics-based visualization with signal processing algorithms. The two main features of this package are: (1) the interactive generation and display of B-scans and C-scans from the 3-D data sets; and (2) the provision of high resolution deconvolution and inversion procedures for improving the interpretability of the data. In addition, numerous other utilities allow image processing, animation and 3-D rendering of the data.
