This talk demonstrates the results of the IGSTC-project entitled "NDT-Data Fusion".
Project approach:
Nondestructive testing (NDT) of concrete buildings allows to coordinate efficient repair measures. Multi-sensor platforms collect large data sets. Nevertheless, data analysis is typically performed manually. Data Fusion uses the full potential of a multi-sensory data set in order to:
improve information quality (reliability, robustness, accuracy, clarity, completeness) and enables automated algorithm based data analysis.
We present the project achievements, namely:
- Development of building scanner system for multisensory NDT
- Laboratory multi sensor investigations
- Development of data fusion concept for honeycombing and pitting corrosion
- Field testing
Half-cell potential mapping (HP) is the most popular nondestructive test (NDT)-method for the localization of corrosion damage in concrete. It is generally recognized, that HP is prone to the environmental factors that arise from salt induced deterioration, such as varying moisture and chloride gradients. Additional NDT-methods are capable to determine distinctive areas, but cannot yet be used to estimate more accurate testing results. We introduce a supervised machine learning (SML) based approach for data fusion to make use of the additional sensor information. SML are methods that explore relations between different (sensor) data from predefined data labels. We use a simple linear classifier named logistic regression to distinguish defect and intact areas. The test performance improves drastically compared to the best single method, HP. In order to generate representative, labeled data we conducted a comprehensive experiment that simulates the deterioration-cycle of a chloride-exposed building part in the lab. Our data set consist of 18 measurement campaigns, each containing HP-, ground-penetrating-radar-, microwave-moisture-, and Wenner-resistivity-data. We detail the challenges that arise with a data driven approach in NDT and how we addressed them.
This work presents machine learning-inspired data fusion approaches to improve the non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete. The principal effects that are used for data fusion are shown theoretically. Their effectiveness is tested in case studies carried out on largescale concrete specimens with built-in chloride-induced rebar corrosion. The dataset consists of half-cell potential mapping, Wenner resistivity, microwave moisture and ground penetrating radar measurements. Data fusion is based on the logistic Regression algorithm.
It learns an optimal linear decision boundary from multivariate labeled training data, to separate intact and defect areas. The training data are generated in an experiment that simulates the entire life cycle of chloride-exposed concrete building parts. The unique possibility to monitor the deterioration, and targeted corrosion initiation, allows data labeling.
The results exhibit an improved sensitivity of the data fusion with logistic regression compared to the best individual method half-cell potential.
Machine learning based multi-sensor fusion for the nondestructive testing of corrosion in concrete
(2020)
Half-cell potential mapping (HP) is the most popular non-destructive testing method (NDT) for locating corrosion damage in concrete. It is generally accepted that HP is susceptible to environmental factors caused by salt-related deterioration, such as different moisture and chloride gradients. Additional NDT methods are able to identify distinctive areas but are not yet used to estimate more accurate test results. We present a Supervised Machine Learning (SML) based approach to data fusion of seven different signal features to obtain higher quality information. SMLs are methods that explore (or learn) relationships between different (sensor) data from predefined data labels. To obtain a representative, labelled data set we conducted a comprehensive experiment simulating the deterioration cycle of a chloride exposed device in the laboratory. Our data set consists of 18 measurement campaigns, each containing HP, Ground Penetrating- Radar, Microwave Moisture and Wenner resistivity data. We compare the performance of different ML approaches. Many outperform the best single method, HP. We describe the intrinsic challenges posed by a data-driven approach in NDT and show how future work can help overcome them.
Visualization of automated multi‐sensor NDT assessment of concrete structures (NDT Data Fusion)

Nondestructive testing(NDT) of concrete buildings allows efficient repair measures. Multi-sensor platforms collect large data sets but the data analysis is typically performed manually. Data Fusion uses the full potential of a multi-sensory data set in order to:
- improve information quality (reliability, robustness, accuracy, clarity, completeness)
- enable automated algorithm based data analysis.
This poster summarizes results of the IGSTC-project entitled "NDT-Data Fusion" (short title) and demonstrates a significant improvement in the testing performance for the example of corrosion detection.
