Laser ultrasonic imaging of complex defects with full-matrix capture and deep-learning extraction.

Ultrasonics
Phased array-based full-matrix ultrasonic imaging has been the golden standard for the non-destructive evaluation of critical components. However, the piezoelectric phased array cannot be applied in hazardous environments and online monitoring due to...

Ultrasonic Guided Wave Inversion Based on Deep Learning Restoration for Fingerprint Recognition.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
As an established biometric authentication approach, fingerprint scanning has received considerable attention due to its high accuracy and reliability. In this article, the fingerprint reconstruction at any position is achieved in large physical doma...

Evaluation of the Transverse Crack Depth of Rail Bottoms Based on the Ultrasonic Guided Waves of Piezoelectric Sensor Arrays.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A method based on the high-frequency ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs) of a piezoelectric sensor array is proposed to monitor the depth of transverse cracks in rail bottoms. Selecting high-frequency UGWs with a center frequency of 350 kHz can enable the...

Ultrasonic image denoising using machine learning in point contact excitation and detection method.

Ultrasonics
A point contact/Coulomb coupling technique is generally used for visualizing the ultrasonic waves in Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) ceramics. The point contact and delta pulse excitation produce a broadband frequency spectrum and wide directional wave...

Enhancement of instrumented ultrasonic tracking images using deep learning.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Instrumented ultrasonic tracking provides needle localisation during ultrasound-guided minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. Here, a post-processing framework based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to improve the spa...

Flow Pattern Identification of Oil-Water Two-Phase Flow Based on SVM Using Ultrasonic Testing Method.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A flow pattern identification method combining ultrasonic transmission attenuation with an ultrasonic reflection echo is proposed for oil-water two-phase flow in horizontal pipelines. Based on the finite element method, two-dimensional geometric simu...

Toward intraoperative tissue classification: exploiting signal feedback from an ultrasonic aspirator for brain tissue differentiation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: During brain tumor surgery, care must be taken to accurately differentiate between tumorous and healthy tissue, as inadvertent resection of functional brain areas can cause severe consequences. Since visual assessment can be difficult during...

Deep Learning Empowered Structural Health Monitoring and Damage Diagnostics for Structures with Weldment via Decoding Ultrasonic Guided Wave.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Welding is widely used in the connection of metallic structures, including welded joints in oil/gas metallic pipelines and other structures. The welding process is vulnerable to the inclusion of different types of welding defects, such as lack of pen...

Uncertainty Quantification for Deep Learning in Ultrasonic Crack Characterization.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Deep learning for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) has received a lot of attention in recent years for its potential ability to provide human level data analysis. However, little research into quantifying the uncertainty of its predictions has been do...

Collaborative Robotic Wire + Arc Additive Manufacture and Sensor-Enabled In-Process Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The demand for cost-efficient manufacturing of complex metal components has driven research for metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) such as Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). WAAM enables automated, time- and material-efficient manufacturing of ...
