It is subjected to extreme temperature on both sides which damages the inner epoxy adhesive bond between the facesheet and the honeycomb core. Accessibility to this layer for non-destructive evaluation is extremely challenging using conventional methods. This work proposes active thermography techniques such as flash thermography and induction thermography for accessing the inner layer. The infrared camera utilises the perforations in the facesheet of the IFS bond panel, which is used for attenuating the engine noise, for imaging the defects. However, flash thermography requires the removal of the thermal insulation layer for the inspection, whereas induction thermography can be performed without any modifications to the structure. The minimum detectable dis-bond size using these techniques is restricted to the spacing between the perforations on the facesheet. A numerical model has developed for induction thermography to optimise the excitation frequency that can produce reasonable thermal contrast at the inner facesheet and minimum temperature rise on the intermediate stainless-steel thin sheet that covers the thermal insulation layer.","PeriodicalId":54525,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Infrared Thermography Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"12 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17686733.2020.1793284","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42985598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a robust method to handle multiple motion, outliers, and occlusions in IRT images which consists of two phases: preprocessing and image motion estimation. In the preprocessing phase, the Region of Interest (RoI) segmentation is employed to extract the brain cortex only. Thereafter, the Phase Correlation method is employed to compensate for large motion followed by occlusion masking based on an approach applying Cellular Nonlinear Networks (CNN). Next, intensity adjustment is made with respect to the reference image. Then, a Gaussian filter is applied. In the following phase, the image motion is estimated by employing Combined Local-Global (CLG) optical flow method. In order to find the best regularization coefficient for the spatial coherency term and the number of iterations for recursive optical flow estimation, we generated ground truth and evaluated the accuracy of the estimated motion vectors based on Average Angular Error (AAE) and Average Magnitude Error (AME). The efficiency improvement of the proposed method was tested on 1024 IRT images based on different comparisons. Thereby, the proposed method shows promising results for motion estimation and correction application in brain surgery.","PeriodicalId":54525,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Infrared Thermography Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"226 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17686733.2020.1766892","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47755944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most MS patients experience a worsening of clinical signs and neurological symptoms when they are exposed to heat due to a thermoregulatory dysfunction. This paper proposes a novel methodology to understand temperature changes in MS patients by obtaining and evaluating texture features from infrared thermography (IRT) images. For that purpose, images of the legs of a MS patient and a healthy control subject with similar physical characteristics (while at rest and in a standing position) were recorded using a FLIR A655SC infrared camera. In the quantitative analysis of the resulting IRT images, three texture features (average, entropy, and uniformity) were computed, and the results were compared using statistical techniques. The statistical analysis showed that temperatures in the MS patient were not normally distributed, while those in the healthy control subject were normally distributed. In addition, significant differences in average, entropy, and uniformity were found between subjects. This methodology enables a quantitative evaluation of thermal distributions over different regions of the body and can be used in further studies into temperature changes in MS patients.","PeriodicalId":54525,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Infrared Thermography Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"1 - 11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17686733.2020.1793283","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47140620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The complete inverse processing of a multilayer analytical model can be difficult due to a lack of sensitivity to certain parameters (layer thickness, depth of thermal resistance, etc.) or processing time. For these reasons, our present strategy proposes a Bayesian inference approach. Using the analytical quadrupole method, a reference model can be calculated for a set of parameters. Then, the Bayesian probabilistic method is used to determine the maximum likelihood probability between the measured data and the reference model. To keep the processing method robust and fast, an automatic selection of the calculation range is proposed. Finally, in the case of a bilayer sample, both the thickness and resistive 3D layers are estimated in less than 2 min for a space and time matrix of 50,000 pixels by 4000 time steps with a reasonable relative error of less than 5%.","PeriodicalId":54525,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Infrared Thermography Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"332 - 343"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17686733.2020.1771529","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43332871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different contrast and detail enhancement technologies were deployed to improve image quality. An enhancement algorithm with bilateral filter is a state of art method, which first transforms an infrared image into a base part and a detail part, and then expands the detail part and suppresses the base part to enhancement the contrast of the IR image. However, this method cannot efficiently distinguish the background and objectives of the detail part. As a result, the noise information gets amplified when the detail part is expanded, leading to increase noise and to obstruct the sharpening of the detail part. To solve these problems, a novel enhancement algorithm based on the neutrosophic sets is proposed, which transforms the detail part into the neutrosophic domain. Our method utilises three membership functions of pixels in the neutrosophic domain: T (True), F (False) and I (Indeterminacy), which correspond to objective, background and transitional regions of image, respectively. The proposed algorithm is verified and compared with other existing algorithms. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively enhance the contrast and preserve the details of an infrared image.","PeriodicalId":54525,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Infrared Thermography Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"344 - 356"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17686733.2020.1786640","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45326054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, the texture features in the Gray level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) and Gray level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) are extracted from these images. The correlation of features gives a linear relationship between the variables that help to analyse the quantitative relationship between the variables. The features are selected by using unsupervised feature reduction techniques, i.e. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Autoencoder (AE). The features selected are observed to be relevant in detecting the abnormality between healthy and unhealthy breast. Different classifiers viz. support vector machine, decision tree, random forest, K-NN, linear Regression, and fuzzy logic are then applied to the selected features for detecting the presence of malignancy in breast.

The debonding-like calibrated defects without friction surfaces in the hybrid plate are detected. The dynamic temperature field is obtained by both experiment and numerical simulation. The influence of excitation frequency on the temperature increase over the defects is analysed by modelling the thermo-mechanical coupled field. The results show that the viscoelastic loss of the non-metal material is the leading factor of the local temperature increase over defects; an excitation frequency has its selective heating character to defects; a defect has a so-called defect characteristic frequency which can act as the optimal excitation frequency for this defect to be detected; the defect characteristic frequency is between the two local defect resonance frequencies corresponding to the simply supported boundary and the clamped boundary, respectively.","PeriodicalId":54525,"journal":{"name":"Quantitative Infrared Thermography Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"314 - 331"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17686733.2020.1771528","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47643363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
