This paper presents a simple and reliable method for automated detection of defects in thermal images of composite materials obtained with pulsed thermography. The proposed method is capable of analyzing thermal images with low contrast and nonuniform heating conditions without the need for data preprocessing. The performance of the proposed method for nonuniform heating correction is superior to that of a deep learning algorithm and background thermal compensation by filtering strategy on the same CFRP sample.
Pulsed thermography is a nondestructive method commonly used to explore anomalies in composite materials. This paper presents a procedure for the automated detection of defects in thermal images of composite materials obtained with pulsed thermography experiments. The proposed methodology is simple and novel as it is reliable in low-contrast and nonuniform heating conditions and does not require data preprocessing. Nonuniform heating correction and the gradient direction information combined with a local and global segmentation phase are used to analyze carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) thermal images with Teflon inserts with different length/depth ratios. Additionally, a comparison between the actual depths and estimated depths of detected defects is performed. The performance of the nonuniform heating correction proposed method is superior to that obtained on the same CFRP sample analyzed with a deep learning algorithm and the background thermal compensation by filtering strategy.
