Journal:IEEE Sensors Journal

Abstract:Eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) is implemented for detection and separation of impact damage and resulting damages in carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) samples. Complexity and non-homogeneity of fibre texture as well as multiple defects limit detection identification and characterisation from transient images of ECPT. In this paper, an integration of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) on transient thermal videos has been proposed. This method enables spatial and temporal patterns to be extracted according to the transient response behavior.
