Abstract:The objective of the present paper is to propose a framework, utilizing the OpenCV library, for post-processing infrared images obtained using Long-Pulse Thermography (LPT), with the goal of segmenting the images into defective and sound areas. A series of thermograms of a carbon fiber/epoxy specimen, containing precision milled flat-bottom holes, was acquired using an LPT system comprised of an uncooled microbolometer imager and halogen optical sources. Flaw detectability and planar size estimation were used … Show more
