Abstract
Phased array ultrasound technology has demonstrated its capability in detecting lead seal defects within high-voltage cable terminals. However, conventional ultrasound quantitative methods often fall short in accurately measuring the dimensions of these defects. This paper introduces a novel method for the detection and quantification of lead seal defects in high-voltage cable terminals. By focusing on the longitudinal wave fan scan images of these defects and integrating threshold segmentation with corrosion algorithms, the method provides real-time information on defect characteristics, including cross-sectional area and height. The findings reveal significant improvements over the traditional −6dB method: a 5% reduction in distance error, a 10% enhancement in defect size accuracy, and an overall accuracy rate exceeding 85%. This research holds substantial reference value for the engineering application of lead sealing defect detection in high-voltage cables, contributing to the advancement of lead sealing technology and ensuring the reliability and safety of power grid operations.

期刊介绍:
IEEE Access® is a multidisciplinary, open access (OA), applications-oriented, all-electronic archival journal that continuously presents the results of original research or development across all of IEEE''s fields of interest.
IEEE Access will publish articles that are of high interest to readers, original, technically correct, and clearly presented. Supported by author publication charges (APC), its hallmarks are a rapid peer review and publication process with open access to all readers. Unlike IEEE''s traditional Transactions or Journals, reviews are "binary", in that reviewers will either Accept or Reject an article in the form it is submitted in order to achieve rapid turnaround. Especially encouraged are submissions on:
Multidisciplinary topics, or applications-oriented articles and negative results that do not fit within the scope of IEEE''s traditional journals.
Practical articles discussing new experiments or measurement techniques, interesting solutions to engineering.
Development of new or improved fabrication or manufacturing techniques.
Reviews or survey articles of new or evolving fields oriented to assist others in understanding the new area.
