The proposed algorithm performs faster than another algorithm, for crack detection, based on the application of two Sobel filters (one in x and another one in y directions). For FLT it is shown that processing 10-25 % of the thermograms of a thermographic film required to scan a whole sample is enough to obtain good results. In contrast, using the Sobel filter approach requires the processing of twice the thermographic film length. Experimental measurements are performed on a metallic component of complex shape which contains real defects, that is, surface breaking cracks due to industrial use. The specimen is tested using flying line thermography. Three different scanning speeds are tested: 10, 30 and 60 mms with laser powers of 50, 60 and 120 W respectively. The sample and an infrared camera are aligned and fixed on a motorized linear stage. The diode laser LDM500 (500 W max power) is fixed on an optical bench separately from the linear stage. The results obtained with the proposed algorithm are additionally compared with a previously established algorithm for flying spot thermography based on the Sobel filter. It is shown that the proposed algorithm based on the Canny approach, can be used in automated systems for thermographic non-destructive testing.","PeriodicalId":194494,"journal":{"name":"SPIE Future Sensing Technologies 2021","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129283492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To properly demodulate the signal and recover information, complex systems are used. This typically consists of a series of filtering, corrections, timing recovery, and finally demodulation. Furthermore, the approaches for each stage are application specific. Deep learning (DL) can be applied to create an automatic demodulator, independent of modulation type, with no preprocessing, replacing the complex traditional system. However, these systems can only handle scenarios that are incorporated at the initial training stage. If new modulation types are encountered, the system must be re-trained to adapt. Traditional DL systems require the entire original dataset to retain old information, which increases storage requirements and training time. To increase adaptability, we incorporate incremental learning (IL) into a DL demodulator. Incremental learning attempts to overcome these issues, allowing a system to train on only new information. We apply IL to learn to demodulate new modulation types, not initially introduced to this system. We demonstrate this system in the field through the use of software defined radio. The system is subjected to unknown modulation types, and shown to adapt in real-time and over-the-air in an unsupervised environment.","PeriodicalId":194494,"journal":{"name":"SPIE Future Sensing Technologies 2021","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114556958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The manufacture of freeform surfaces is limited to the measurement. In order to guide the manufacturing process, we have proposed a real-time interferometric measurement system. In the system, an accurate, automatic and fast description method is needed to describe complex freeform surface. In order to improve this situation, a description method with automatically configurable Gaussian radial basis function (AC-GRBF) has been proposed. The key parameters of AC-GRBF, the number of subapertures N, coefficient A and the base number of GRBFs affect the fitting accuracy and speed, and they are analyzed by numerical simulation in the paper. The analysis in this paper can provide reference for the description method of GRBF, especially AC-GRBF, and the description of complex freeform surfaces in the design.","PeriodicalId":194494,"journal":{"name":"SPIE Future Sensing Technologies 2021","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129292859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
