Automatic seeded region growing for thermography debonding detection of CFRP
Abstract : The carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) has been widely used in aerospace, automobile and sports industries. In laminated composite materials, cyclic stresses and impact will cause internal defects such as delamination and debonding. In order to guarantee internal quality and safety, optical pulsed thermography (OPT) nondestructive testing has been used to detect the internal defects. However, current OPT methods cannot efficiently tackle the influence from uneven illumination, and the resolution enhancement of the defects detection remains as a critical challenge. In this paper, a hybrid of thermographic signal reconstruction (TSR) and automatic seeded region growing (ASRG) algorithm is proposed to deal with the thermography processing of CFRP......
