Classification of eddy current NDT data by probabilistic neural networks

چکیده
In this paper we discuss the use of the Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) for the classification of the defects detected via the Remote Field Eddy Current (RFEC) inspection technique. The neural network is employed in order to associate each defect to one of the predefined classes. Each defect is represented by means of the phase response of the probe system. The reported results show that the proposed artificial neural network allows reliable classification results.

متن کاملProbabilistic Contaminant Source Identification in Water Distribution Infrastructure Systems
Large water distribution systems can be highly vulnerable to penetration of contaminant factors caused by different means including deliberate contamination injections. As contaminants quickly spread into a water distribution network, rapid characterization of the pollution source has a high measure of importance for early warning assessment and disaster management. In this paper, a methodology...
