Specifically, the absorption coefficient describes the degree to which light is absorbed during the propagation in the material, and it is related to the wavelength of light and the temperature of the material Related, when the value of the absorption coefficient is large, it means that the material can effectively absorb light; the initial intensity distribution of the light source describes the light intensity distribution at the position of the light source. The light source emits light at or near the surface of the coating, and the intensity distribution varies at different spatial positions; the temperature refers to the temperature of the environment where the coating is located, and the ambient temperature where the coating is located will affect the optical properties; the starting position is usually set as the position of the light source and is a coordinate; the simulated intensity distribution represents the intensity change per unit path length during the propagation of light, aiming to predict the change trend of the light signal at a specific position, predict behaviors such as signal attenuation, reflection, and scattering, and judge whether the actually collected signal is a valid signal by comparing the actually collected signal with the simulated intensity distribution; Represents the propagation path of light and the path length from the starting position to the current position; Is an exponential attenuation factor that describes the attenuation characteristics of light propagation in the material. As the light propagation path increases, the intensity of light gradually weakens according to the absorption characteristics of the material. The larger the absorption coefficient, the faster the attenuation.

The norm Is used to calculate this difference. The common norm is the Euclidean distance. The hyperparameter Represents different "distance measurement methods". Here, the Euclidean distance is used, and Is set; the set threshold Is an empirical value used to judge the validity of the signal. The specific value is determined according to system requirements or empirical data. If Exceeds the set threshold, it means that the signal quality is poor and needs to be re-collected.

[0046] The present invention is further set to the denoising signal calculation logic: , where, is the denoised signal, is the input signal, is the fractional Fourier transform of the input signal, is the transform order, for the signal norm, is the regularization coefficient, is the noise, is the smoothing parameter, is the Sobolev space with the smoothing parameter, is the fractional Sobolev norm of the noise.

Specifically, the complexity of the pores reflects the complexity of the pore morphology in the material, and the calculation method is to evaluate through the length distribution of the pore boundaries. The more complex the boundary is, the higher the pore complexity is. The more uneven the boundary length of the pores is, the more complex the pore morphology is; the pore boundary length represents the boundary length of the th pore, which refers to the length of the outer contour of the pore and is obtained through image analysis; the total pore boundary length represents the sum of the boundary lengths of all pores, which is used to standardize the boundary length of each pore to ensure that the calculated pore complexity is relative. The total boundary length is the sum of the boundary lengths of all pores, and is obtained by summing all ; the number of pores represents the number of pores existing in the material, which is counted by the connected region analysis method in image processing; the fractal dimension of the crack is used to quantify the complexity of the crack morphology. The fractal dimension is calculated by the number of grids required to cover the crack at different scales, which reflects the self-similar characteristics of the crack morphology.

Specifically, the layer health index is a comprehensive index, which reflects the damage degree of the material at the micro level by considering the pore complexity and the crack fractal dimension, and evaluates the health state of the material. The value of the layer health index is between 0 and 1. Being close to 1 indicates that the material is in a healthy state, and being close to 0 indicates that the material is severely damaged or about to fail; , are two control parameters, which are used to adjust the influence of the pore complexity and the crack fractal dimension in the calculation. By adjusting these two parameters, the weights of these two factors in the health index can be flexibly controlled, and the values are between and between; a very small constant and is a very small constant used to avoid division by zero; the core idea of the formula is to combine pore complexity and crack fractal dimension , and apply a weighted logarithmic model, and finally use the sigmoid function to uniformly transform the influence of both into a health index between 0 and 1 .

[0049] The present invention is further configured as a damage field calculation logic: , where is the damage field, is the diffusion coefficient related to pore complexity, is the convergence coefficient related to crack fractal dimension, is the pore complexity, is the crack fractal dimension, is the Laplace operator, is the influence coefficient related to the layer health index. Specifically, the damage field of the coating represents the damage degree of the coating at position and time , and the value is , indicating no damage, indicating complete damage; the diffusion coefficient related to pore complexity represents the influence of pores on damage propagation, and its value range is , and the larger the value, the greater the influence of pores on damage propagation; the convergence coefficient related to crack fractal dimension represents the influence of crack distribution on damage stability, and its value range is , and the larger the value, the stronger the enhancement effect of crack propagation on damage; the Laplace operator represents the diffusion effect at the spatial position and simulates the propagation of coating damage; represents the non-linear term of damage evolution, and when the damage value approaches , the effect of this term decreases; the influence coefficient related to the layer health index represents the influence degree of health score on damage evolution, and its value range is , and the larger the value, the stronger the correction effect of health score on damage evolution; represents the influence of pore complexity on the diffusion of the coating damage field. The greater the complexity of the pores, the easier the damage diffusion of the coating, resulting in an accelerated damage propagation speed. The Laplace operator simulates the diffusion process of damage in space; It indicates the influence of crack fractal degree on the convergence of damage field. When damage begins to develop, the existence of cracks will aggravate the damage extension, especially in the area with high crack fractal degree. Ensure that the effect of cracks gradually decreases as the damage value approaches 1; It represents the corrective effect of the health score on the evolution of the coating damage field. When the coating is in a relatively healthy state, the extension of the damage will be suppressed. This item can correct the damage evolution process and slow down the aggravation of the damage, especially when the health score of the coating is high.

[0050] The present invention is further configured such that the remaining life calculation logic is: ,in, is the remaining life, is the attenuation factor, Initial time, is the maximum usage time. Specifically, the remaining life Indicates the current time point To the maximum usage time The remaining service life of the coating between , which indicates the remaining effective time of the coating from the current time point to the maximum usage time. As the damage increases, the remaining life gradually decreases. If the coating is completely healthy, the remaining life is the maximum usage time; the attenuation factor Indicates the degree of influence of coating damage on the remaining life, reflecting the aggravation rate of coating damage, and the value range is The larger the value, the greater the impact of coating damage on the remaining life. Damage accelerates the consumption of coating life. Maximum service life Indicates the maximum design service life of the coating, with different standard values set according to different coating materials; represents an exponential function, which simulates the gradual attenuation of the coating life due to damage. As the damage increases, the value of the exponential function approaches 0, indicating a decrease in the remaining life; Indicates the integration of the time interval, indicating that the coating To the maximum usage time The damage evolution process between the two time periods is analyzed, and the overall remaining life of the coating is obtained by weighting the damage contribution of each time period.

[0051] The present invention is further configured such that the scanning strategy optimizes the calculation logic: ,in, is the scanning density, is a very small constant, To adjust the constant; adjust the scanning strategy according to the scanning density to minimize the total scanning time while ensuring that the critical areas of the coating are adequately inspected. Indicates at location and time The intensity or density during scanning. The scanning density determines the scanning frequency of the scanning device in a specific area. The higher the density, the higher the scanning accuracy and the larger the covered area. A higher scanning density means that areas with more severe coating damage need to be scanned more frequently to ensure the accuracy of detection. At the same time, areas with a shorter remaining life also need to increase the scanning frequency; extremely small constant Used to avoid the damage field When it is 0, the fraction is zero, and the value range is ; adjustment constant Used to scale the value of the scanning density, and the value range is . A smaller value will result in a lower scanning density, while a larger value will increase the scanning frequency; Represents the relationship between the scanning density and the damage degree and remaining life of the coating.
