Quantitative Estimation with Lift-Off Effect in Conductive Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Eddy current testing technique has been widely used in a variety of fields, many researches have been done in quantitative estimation in conductive structure. In the actual use of ECT system, lift-off effect is an inevitable factor which is still a challenging task. Hence, the objectives of this study are to introduce a novel model-free method Support Vector Regression optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO-SVR) to estimate the surface defect with variable lift-off. Experimental validation carried out that the proposed method had a good performance in surface defect estimation with lift-off effect.
