چکیده

Conventional eddy current using single-frequency excitation has limited material characterization capabilities. Enrichment of the spectral information of the signal with techniques such as multifrequency or swept frequency inspection could be employed to improve the inspection process. Broadband excitation is also implemented with time-domain inspection using pulsed eddy current PEC. The spectrum of PEC however has decayed energy corresponding to higher frequencies. This paper addresses the implementation of a technique, termed transfusion; to fuse partial eddy current information obtained from measurements in the time domain with PEC with inspection results that could be available at fixed points in the frequency domain, obtained with conventional eddy current inspection. The technique is based on image fusion methods, in accordance with increased interest in c-scan representation of eddy current signals. The developed algorithm depends on packing multi-spectral and multi-temporal data into the values of color components of transfusion image. Further enhancement could be obtained by fusing this image with a high quality image of the object under test, which could be acquired using high frequency eddy current inspection or another NDE modality. Results based on the proposed technique, based on finite element simulation of eddy current inspection are presented, along with suggested image quality measures to test the spectral as well as spatial information of the transfusion image.

Application of Single-Frequency Time-Space Filtering Technique for Seismic Ground Roll and Random Noise Attenuation

Time-frequency filtering is an acceptable technique for attenuating noise in 2-D (time-space) and 3-D (time-space-space) reflection seismic data. The common approach for this purpose is transforming each seismic signal from 1-D time domain to a 2-D time-frequency domain and then denoising the signal by a designed filter and finally transforming back the filtered signal to original time domain. ...

A Novel Frequency Domain Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance Filter for Speech Enhancement

A reliable speech enhancement method is important for speech applications as a pre-processing step to improve their overall performance. In this paper, we propose a novel frequency domain method for single channel speech enhancement. Conventional frequency domain methods usually neglect the correlation between neighboring time-frequency components of the signals. In the proposed method, we take...

Background and purpose: Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is one of the retinal degeneration diseases affecting the eye signals. Electroretinogram (ERG) is a signal that plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment of RP. This signal includes useful information that cannot be revealed just in time domain. We aimed to investigate the effect of RP on time, frequency, and time-frequency parameters o...

Attenuation of spatial aliasing in CMP domain by non-linear interpolation of seismic data along local slopes

Spatial aliasing is an unwanted side effect that produces artifacts during seismic data processing, imaging and interpolation. It is often caused by insufficient spatial sampling of seismic data and often happens in CMP (Common Mid-Point) gather. To tackle this artifact, several techniques have been developed in time-space domain as well as frequency domain such as frequency-wavenumber, frequen...
