Claim One:
1. A method of acoustographic diagnosis of abnormalities of a product, comprising: placing an acoustic sensing device in a sensing location with respect to the product; determining a relationship between the sensing location of the sensing device with respect to a physical datum of the product; correlating the sensing location of the sensing device to the three-dimensional graphic surface model of the product based on the determined relationship; pre-setting an acoustic focal length associated with the sensing device to an initial distance with respect to a projection plane of the sensing device; imparting energy to the product; sensing objective acoustic data using the sensing device at least while energy is being imparted to the product; transforming the sensed objective acoustic data into acoustic vector beam data; setting the acoustic focal length; recalculating the acoustic vector beam data using the set acoustic focal length; converting the recalculated acoustic vector beam data into psychoacoustic vector beam data which is then associated with a three-dimensional graphic surface model; and analyzing the three-dimensional graphic surface model to identify at least a portion thereof associated with unacceptable psychoacoustic levels.
