Effective compression algorithms for pulsed thermography data
نویسنده
چکیده
Two compression algorithms for the image sequences generated by pulsed-transient thermography for non-destructive testing were developed. The first algorithm allows to balance the quality of the original measurement data reproduction against the compression ratio. This algorithm comprises a dedicated space/time mapping (STM) method and an image compression algorithm (JPEG2000). The second algorithm provides lossless reproduction of the original measurement data. This algorithm is based on a particular transformation of dynamically changing data and a lossless compression algorithm (ZIP). Both algorithms were tested on typical experimental thermography data. In both cases, the achieved compression ratios were significantly higher than those of existing algorithms.

Image Processing for Automated Flaw Detection in Pulsed Thermography
Infrared (IR) thermography has evolved in recent years from being an emerging nondestructive testing (NDT) technique to a viable approach for both aerospace manufacturing and in-service inspections. One of the drawbacks of thermography techniques is that no standard signal processing has been universally adopted and that different algorithms yield different sizing results. Additionally, the dat...

In this paper, the use of a signal to noise ratio (SNR) is proposed for the quantification of the goodness of some selected processing techniques of thermographic images, such as differentiated absolute contrast, skewness and kurtosis based algorithms, pulsed phase transform, principal component analysis and thermographic signal reconstruction. A new hybrid technique is also applied (PhAC—Phase...

Compression can be done by lossy or lossless methods. The lossy methods have been used more widely than the lossless compression. Although, many methods for image compression have been proposed yet, the methods using intelligent skipping proper to the visual models has not been considered in the literature. Image inpainting refers to the application of sophisticated algorithms to replace lost o...
