Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an infrared phase-locked nondestructive testing method, in particular to an infrared phase-locked nondestructive testing method based on an adaptive normalization improvement technology, and belongs to the technical field of infrared phase-locked nondestructive testing methods. Background Art

[0002] The traditional infrared phase-locked thermal wave nondestructive testing algorithm has the following four problems:

[0003] 1. Lack of pre-processing of problematic points in infrared video: In infrared phase-locked thermal wave nondestructive testing technology, a heat source with sinusoidal changes is used to thermally excite the inspected plate, and the heating process of the plate is recorded by an infrared thermal imager to obtain the original infrared video. In real scenes, due to the software settings of the infrared thermal imager, damage to the photosensitive element in the infrared thermal imager, and certain external interference in the experimental environment, the temperature change values ​​of some pixels in the original infrared video we obtained do not conform to the law of sinusoidal rise. If these problematic pixels are not filtered out, it will cause great noise interference to the phase result diagram calculated by the traditional algorithm;

[0004] 2. The algorithm used to normalize the original data into the phase result map has limitations: the traditional normalization algorithms include direct normalization algorithm and mean standard deviation normalization algorithm. The direct normalization algorithm can completely restore the structural distribution law of the original phase data, but the phase result map calculated by this algorithm lacks the specificity of defects. The contrast between defects and background in the phase result map is low, and the defects are not obvious to the naked eye.

[0005] The standard deviation average algorithm normalizes the original data based on the probability distribution characteristics of the data, which can effectively improve the contrast between defects and background in the phase result image, improve the naked eye perception of defects, and make it easier to observe the existence of defects. However, the algorithm has the defect of poor scene adaptability. This is because there is a fixed control parameter k in the algorithm. The imaging quality of the phase result image obtained by using different k values ​​for infrared videos shot in different scenes is also different. Therefore, the algorithm has poor adaptability. In different experiments, the experimenter needs to repeatedly adjust the k value to improve the image quality of the phase result image.

[0006] 3. Only the phase result map of the infrared video is output, but the buried depth of each defect cannot be obtained: the traditional infrared phase-locked thermal wave nondestructive testing algorithm can only output the phase result map of the plate, and the inspectors cannot obtain the depth distribution of each defect. Therefore, it is necessary to study the method of detecting the depth of defects;

[0007] 4. It cannot automatically identify the type, location and diameter of defects, and requires manual analysis by professionals: the traditional infrared phase-locked thermal wave nondestructive testing algorithm can only output the phase result map of the plate, and the inspectors need to manually measure and analyze the defects;

[0008] Therefore, an infrared phase-locked nondestructive testing method based on adaptive normalization improved technology is designed to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0083] Figure 1 The present invention is a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of an infrared phase-locked nondestructive testing method based on the adaptive normalization improvement technology according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0084] In order to make the technical solution of the present invention more clear and specific to those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings, but the implementation manner of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0085] In infrared phase-locked thermal wave nondestructive testing, after using sinusoidal thermal excitation to heat the plate, the normal original infrared video obtained should conform to the law that the amplitude of all pixels presents a sinusoidal rise, and the overall amplitude average of the time domain waveform of all pixels should be within a reasonable fluctuation range. Therefore, based on these two characteristics, we wrote a problem pixel search algorithm, which can quickly find the pixel with problems. After finding the problem pixel, replace the value of the problem pixel with the average value of the pixels in the whole image, so as to achieve the goal of filtering the problem pixel.

[0086] The principle of the problem pixel search algorithm is:

[0087] Step 1: First, calculate the time domain waveform of the average value of all pixels, use the time domain waveform as the standard reference waveform, and calculate the standard deviation, average value, and data range of the standard reference waveform.

[0088] Step 2: Then count the standard deviation, average value, and data range of the time domain waveform of the pixel point to be analyzed.

[0089] Step 3: Finally, the three major parameters of the pixel to be analyzed are analyzed and compared with the three major parameters of the standard reference waveform to determine whether the pixel to be analyzed is a problem pixel.

[0090] The standard deviation formula of the amplitude of the time domain waveform of a single pixel in infrared video is:

[0091]

[0092] Where σ is the standard deviation, μ is the mean amplitude, N is the total number of recorded points, and Ii is the amplitude of the i-th point.

[0093] The average value formula of the amplitude of the time domain waveform of a single pixel in the infrared video is:

[0094]

[0095] Among them, μ is the average amplitude, N is the total number of recorded points, and Ii is the amplitude of the i-th point. The data range formula of the amplitude of the time domain waveform of a single pixel point in the infrared video is:

[0096] R=Imax-Imin

[0097] Imax is the maximum amplitude in the time domain waveform of the pixel point, and Imin is the minimum amplitude in the time domain waveform of the pixel point.

[0120] Step 4: Perform a joint weighted score on the SSIM index and the GMSD index, and discard the phase result graph to be evaluated whose joint weighted score is less than the ideal structural similarity score;

[0121] Step 5: Select the phase result image with the highest RMS contrast score from the phase result images to be evaluated that have not been discarded as the final output phase result image of the algorithm.

[0122] (1) A problem point filtering algorithm was invented, which can find and filter out problem pixels in the original infrared video to prevent the problem pixels from causing noise interference to the detected phase result image.

[0123] (2) Invented an adaptive normalization algorithm. The use of the adaptive normalization algorithm can effectively improve the contrast of the phase result image while maintaining the structural distribution characteristics of the original phase data, thereby improving the visual experience of the naked eye. Compared with the two traditional normalization algorithms, the effect is significantly improved.

[0124] (3) A method for predicting defect depth based on phase contrast was invented, which enables the prediction of defect depth inside or on the back of the inspected plate.
