Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of correlations comprises:
a first set of correlations between a CNR of the simulated crack and a CNR of the simulated crack-like flaw, an aspect ratio of the simulated crack and an aspect ratio of the simulated crack-like flaw, and a resolution ratio of the simulated crack and a resolution ratio of the simulated crack-like flaw;
a second set of correlations between a CNR of the real crack specimen and a CNR of the empirical IQI, an aspect ratio of the real crack specimen and an aspect ratio of the empirical IQI, and a resolution ratio of the real crack specimen and a resolution ratio of the empirical IQI;
a third set of correlations between the CNR of the simulated crack and the CNR of the real crack specimen, the aspect ratio of the simulated crack and the aspect ratio of the real crack specimen, and the resolution ratio of the simulated crack and the resolution ratio of the real crack specimen; and
a fourth set of correlations between the CNR of the simulated crack-like flaw and the CNR of the empirical IQI, the aspect ratio of the simulated crack-like flaw and the aspect ratio of the empirical IQI, and the resolution ratio of the simulated crack-like flaw and the resolution ratio of the empirical IQI.
