Identification and Reconstruction of Cracks in Ultrasonic Infrared Thermography

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ultrasonic infrared thermography is a novel nondestructive detection technique, which combines a short ultrasonic pulse excitation and infrared imaging to detect defects, such as crack, in materials and structures. A simplified one-dimension heat-conduction model excited by ultrasonic pulses is put forward in this paper. Based on this model, a serial of image processing methods for recognition and reconstruction of cracks were presented. Results obtained show that the proposed method is creditable and applicable.
