Abstract

The work presented in this paper evaluates a number of methods used to automate the defect detection process. One technique consists automatically evaluating the shape of thermal contrast curves to produce a Boolean defect image. Other techniques are based on curve fitting temperature-time data to test for deviations from the 1/√t thermal decay characteristic of defect free material. It has been found that this ideal behavior is not a feature of the characteristics of all samples using standard pulse thermography equipment.
