An automated radiographic NDT system for weld inspection is developed. The entire system consists of two major components: weld extraction and flaw detection. Welds are first extracted from digitized radiographic images. The extracted welds are then processed by flaw detection algorithms to determine their qualities. This paper describes the weld extraction methodology, which forms the first part of the system. An example is used to illustrate the working of the methodology. The methodology is concluded to be effective for weld extraction after being successfully tested with 25 images. 相似文献

This paper presents a method for the automatic detection and classification of defects in radiographic images of welded joints obtained by exposure technique of double wall double image (DWDI). The proposed method locates the weld bead on the DWDI radiographic images, segments discontinuities (potential defects) in the detected weld bead and extracts features of these discontinuities. These features are used in a feed-forward multilayer perceptron (MLP) with backpropagation learning algorithm to classify descontinuities in “defect and no-defect”. The classifier reached an accuracy of 88.6% and a F-score of 87.5% for the test data. A comparison of the results with the earlier studies using SWSI and DWSI radiographic images indicates that the proposed method is promising. This work contributes towards the improvement of the automatic detection of welding defects in DWDI radiographic image which results can be used by weld inspectors as a support in the preparation of technical reports. 相似文献

In this paper, the concept of application of morphological multistage watershed segmentation for detection of flaws in radiographic weld images is discussed. It is simple and intuitive and always produces a complete division of the image. The multistage watershed segmentation used here reduces the problem of over segmentation besides generating boundaries with very less deviation from their original position. Two-stage water segmentation is implemented here. At the first stage, watershed transform is applied to an X-ray image and the resultant mosaic image pattern is further thresholded by Otsu's thresholding method and converted into the binary image. Then, morphology and top-hat transformation is applied on binary image to separate partially overlapping objects. Euclidean distance map is calculated for each basin to label resultant segments uniquely and to separate ridges. This follows the second stage of watershed segmentation to obtain better-defined boundaries while removing over-segmented regions. Watershed segmentation algorithm has been able to detect flaws like slag inclusions and wormholes-type weld flaws. It shows all defects with reasonable accuracy having close contours. Similarly, small cavities are also highlighted successfully. 相似文献

An automated radiographic NDT system for weld inspection has been developed. The entire system consists of two major components: weld extraction and flaw detection. Part I of the system implemented a weld extraction methodology, which has been presented in a previous paper. This paper presents Part II of the system dealing with the detection of welding flaws. The flaw detection methodology is developed based on the fitted line profiles of a weld image and consists of four modules: preprocessing, curve fitting, profile-anomaly detection, and postprocessing. The successful detection rate and false alarm rate of the methodology are reported based on the test results of 24 representative welds. 相似文献

This paper presents a new approach for weld defect identification from radiographic images. This approach is based on the generation of a database of defect features using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) and polynomial coefficients extracted from the Power Density Spectra (PDSs) of the weld segmented areas after performing pre-processing and segmentation stages. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are used for the feature matching process in order to automatically identify defects in radiographic images. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated using 150 radiographic images in the presence of various types of noise and blurring. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can be used in a reliable way for automatic weld defect identification from radiographic images in noisy environments, and can achieve high recognition rates. 相似文献

Automated detection of welding defects in radiographic images becomes nontrivial when uneven illumination, contrast and noise are present. In this paper, a new approach using surface thresholding method is proposed to detect defects in radiographic images of welding joints. In the first stage, several image processing techniques namely fuzzy c means clustering, region filling, mean filtering, edge detection, Otsu thresholding, and morphological operations method are utilized to locate the area where defects might exist. This is followed by the construction of the inverse thresholding surface and its implementation to locate defects in the identified area. The proposed method was tested on 60 radiographic images and it obtained 94.6% sensitivity. Its performance is compared to that of the watershed segmentation, which obtained 69.6%. 相似文献

In order to realize automatic weld seam tracking for pipeline ultrasonic flaw inspection, an image processing algorithm based on HSI color space was presented. Since the color tones of weld seam were different from the parent metal, weld seam images were transformed to HSI color space. In the HSl colar space, the weld seam and base metal area can be apparently distinguished. By using this image processing algorithm, the edges and centerline of pipeline weld seam can be correctly extracted. An industrial application system was developed based on the image processing algorithm, and the image processing time is less than 70 ms and the accuracy of weld seam recognition is better than 2mm. 相似文献

This paper presents new results of our continuous effort to develop a computer-aided radiographic weld inspection system. The focus of this study is on improving accuracy by feature selection. To this end, we propose two versions of ant colony optimization (ACO)-based algorithms for feature selection and show their effectiveness to improve the accuracy in detecting weld flaws and the accuracy in classifying weld flaw types. The performances of ACO-based methods are compared with that of no feature selection and that of sequential forward floating selection, which is a known good feature selection method. Four different classifiers, including nearest mean, k-nearest neighbor, fuzzy k-nearest neighbor, and center-based nearest neighbor, are employed to carry out the tasks of weld flaw identification and weld flaw type classification. 相似文献

A signal processing technique is presented for significantly sharpening the resolution of ultrasonic images, similar to those acquired in the nondestructive evaluation of girth welds in oil/gas pipelines. This enhancement allows a much improved estimate of the exact size of any detected anomaly in the weld, such that fracture mechanics can be used to gauge the probability of weld failure. The algorithm is based on the synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT), combined with a variation of Wiener filtering and autoregressive spectral extrapolation. An analytical model of the transducer is used to construct an appropriate reference spectrum for the deconvolution operation, and accounts for the dependence of a beam's frequency spectrum on the position of a flaw relative to the transmitter. Experimental results are used to provide an estimate of the improvement in flaw sizing accuracy. 相似文献
