Abstract

The paper describes the concept of an automated defect characterization procedure by using infrared nondestructive testing of glass fiber reinforced composite. The proposed algorithms have allowed determination of defect depth, lateral dimensions and area, as well as coordinates of defect centers. The algorithms are based on the use of the neural network trained on both experimental and theoretical temperature profiles. An acceptable for practice accuracy of defect characterization has been obtained on the experimental data (0–15% by defect depth and 26–139% by defect area).
