ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a picture display apparatus connected to a low resolution ultrasonic inspector so as to display a picture with high resolution. In the apparatus, an approximate spectrum of a theoretical spectrum representing an object having a known shape as a reference and a spectrum obtained through measurement of the known-shaped object are subject to Fourier transformation so that a transfer function of a measurement device is calculated from the ratio between the respective values obtained through the two operations of Fourier transformation, whereby an unknown shape of an object is displayed on the basis of the transfer function and Fourier transformation values of a measured spectrum of the object having the unknown shape. A modified Gaussian distribution obtained by combining two Gaussian distributions, in which the transformation values of the spatial spectrum of the known shape are reduced in a high frequency range and in which oscillations are less spread in the high frequency range, is employed as the approximate spectrum of the theoretical spectrum representing the known-shaped object, so that the high frequency components of the spatial spectrum of the unknown shape can be reduced and therefore a clear picture can be displayed with high resolution.
