Abstract

In an ultrasonic sector scanner in which display control data is obtained from beam reflection vectors for controlling television display pixels, missed pixels in a display horizontal scan line between two vectors are filled by interpolating known pixel values in the two vectors. By property weighting the known pixel values an improved picture is presented in a display of a digital scanner system.
