In this work, we report on a method for automatic inspection of components using laser scanning thermography, in which the relative motion is performed by a robot to fully inspect complex test objects such as turbine blades. We demonstrate our evaluation algorithms with the aim of automatically detecting surface defects on calibrated specimens. We show the influence of the excitation laser, which can be varied in terms of spot geometry, wavelength, and scan scheme. Additionally, we show some advantages, versatility, and current challenges of using a programmed robot for non-destructive evaluation in thermography.
Detection of surface breaking cracks using flying line laser thermography: A Canny-based algorithm
(2021)
In this work, we introduce a new algorithm for effectual crack detection using flying line laser thermography, based on the well-known Canny approach. The algorithm transforms the input thermographic sequence into an edge map. Experimental measurements are performed on a metallic component that contains surface breaking cracks due to industrial use. The specimen is tested using flying line thermography at different scanning speeds and laser input powers. Results obtained with the proposed algorithm are additionally compared with a previously established algorithm for flying spot thermography. The proposed Canny-based algorithm can be used in automated systems for thermographic non-destructive testing.
