Pulsed phase thermography inversion procedure using normalized parameters to account for defect size variations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pulsed Phase Thermography (PPT) is rapidly evolving as a solid NDT&E technique. Acquisition is accomplished in a similar way as in classical Pulsed Thermography, thermal data is processed afterward using a transformation algorithm, <i>e.g</i>. the Fourier Transform (FT), providing amplitude and phase delay data. The authors have recently presented an extended review on PPT theory, as well as a new inversion technique for depth retrieval using phase. Furthermore, an automatic defect depth retrieval algorithm had also been presented. Due to the Time-Frequency Duality of the discrete FT, PPT sampling and truncation parameters should be carefully selected to produce the desired frequency response. An interactive methodology for the optimal selection of these parameters has been proposed. Nevertheless, this is not always a simple task. On one hand, there exists stored data for which sampling and truncation was performed without considering the time-frequency relationship; and on the other hand, there is not always possible to produce the desired frequency output because of equipment limitations. In this paper, two situations are considered. First, two composites plates (CFRP and GFRP), for which adequate parameters have been used. In this case, we demonstrate that depth can be directly estimated from the diffusion length equation as is done by Lock-In Thermography. Secondly, an aluminum specimen that has been incorrectly sampled is considered. In this case, we propose the normalized diffusion length <i>μ<sub>n</sub></i>, and the normalized diameter <i>D<sub>n</sub></i>, to account for defect size variation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
