Abstract
Fast reconstruction of defects geometry is one of the main goal of Eddy Current Non-destructive testing. The information about the type of defects, their shapes, orientations and geometrical characteristics is of great importance in evaluating the impact of defects on structures’ integrity and operation safety. From one point of view, the knowledge of the defect shape could give important information about the manufacturing, the use or the cause that have stressed the specimen and generated the defect, and from the other point of view the reconstruction of geometrical parameters of defect could be made easier if the shape of the defect is known. Although many inverse procedures have been developed for Eddy Current Testing, usually high-computational time and resources are requested, hampering the application of 3D reconstruction methods in on-line or in-situ inspections. In this paper a fast 2D defect profile reconstruction technique is presented based on image processing.
