A Filtered Back-Projection (FBP) ultrasonic tomography reconstruction algorithm based on sparse representation was proposed to solve the difficulty of traditional ultrasonic Lamb wave in detecting and vividly describing the delamination defects composite materials. Firstly, the Lamb wave time-of-flight signals in the composite plate with defect were used as the projection values, the one-dimensional Fourier transform of the projection was equivalent to the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the original image, and the FBP reconstructed image was obtained by convolution with the filter function and projection along different directions. Then, the sparse super-resolution model was constructed and jointly trained by constructing a dictionary of low-resolution image blocks and high-resolution image blocks in order to strengthen the sparse similarity between low- and high-resolution blocks and real image blocks, and a complete dictionary was constructed using low- and high-resolution blocks. Finally, the images obtained by FBP were substituted into the constructed dictionary to obtain the complete high-resolution images. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity (SSIM), and Edge Structural Similarity (ESSIM) values in the reconstructed image by 9.22%, 2.90%, 80.77%, and 4.75%, 1.52%, 16.5%, respectively compared with the linear interpolation and bicubic spline interpolation algorithms. The proposed algorithm can detect delamination defects in composite materials, improve the resolution of the obtained images with delamination defects and enhance the edge details of the images.
