Guest editors Ettore Stella, Pietro Ferraro, Peter Lehmann, Armando Albertazzi Gonçalves, and Wolfgang Osten introduce the Special Section on Multimodal Optical Sensing and Processing.
Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRPs) is a composite material that has substituted metal alloys in many industrial fields. Non-destructive testing techniques are interesting inspection methods for the integrity assessment of composite materials and Optical Lock-in Thermography (OLT) is a particularly convenient alternative to inspection because setting different loading frequencies will result in different scanning depths. Regarding the segmentation task, the problem to be solved is to develop a tool that can correctly identify defective areas with several geometric shapes and features even if there is noise, and without using any manual input or creating artifacts in the image. This work describes the application of Unet and Mask R-CNN in the segmentation of defects in OLT phase images of CFRP plates. The output images from the evaluation were compared using the IoU and ANOVA test as a significance evaluator. The results show that Mask R-CNN performed better-segmenting OLT images.
