Summary:In this paper there are presented a series of methods and algorithms for signal processing (A-scan) and image processing (B-scan) which allow an easier and more accurate interpretation of the inspection results. The methods and the algorithms were tested for detection of a buried pipe, made of glass fiber polyester composite with a diameter of 1.3m, first when the survey conditions allowed only the scanning along the pipe, the most disadvantageous situation, but it has imposed by the configuration of the examined zone. After a few days of construction works, the site was prepared for inspection, orthogonally on the first scan direction.
