Abstract
This paper aims to evaluate mid-infrared (MIR) Optical Coherence Tomography
(OCT) systems as a tool to penetrate different materials and detect sub-surface
irregularities. This is useful for monitoring production processes, allowing
Non-Destructive Inspection Techniques of great value to the industry. In this
exploratory study, several acquisitions are made on composite and ceramics to
know the capabilities of the system. In addition, it is assessed which
preprocessing and AI-enhanced vision algorithms can be anomaly-detection
methodologies capable of detecting abnormal zones in the analyzed objects.
Limitations and criteria for the selection of optimal parameters will be
discussed, as well as strengths and weaknesses will be highlighted.
