Time-Frequency Based Thermal Imaging: An Effective Tool for Quantitative Analysis G. V. P. Chandra Sekhar Yadav, V. S. Ghali, S. K. Subhani Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing, 2023 Abstract Recent achievements in TWDAR (thermal wave detection and ranging) technology has made it possible to utilize a range of thermal imaging techniques for analyzing the characteristics of materials used in various industries. Moreover, the distinctive features of nonstationary thermal imaging have piqued attention of researchers in non-destructive evaluation (NDE). For a detailed defect visualization, it is essential to employ a dependable processing technique that accurately extracts the relevant time–frequency components from the chirped thermal response. In this study, a nonstationary thermal wave imaging technique is utilized by using quadratic frequency modulation (QFM) in conjunction with a cutting-edge technique of fractional Fourier transform (FrFT), to assess material quality. An experimentation has been carried out on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) samples with defects of different sizes at varying depths, to evaluate their characteristics. Experimental results have validated the efficiency of the proposed FrFT processing approach through rigorous qualitative and quantitative analysis, which has involved measurements of some merit figures, such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), full width at half maxima (FWHM), and probability of detection (PoD). From the results, it is evident that the proposed method provides a distinct and precise visualization of defects promising to be a useful technique in identifying and retrieving information of internal defects in materials.
Defect Detection using Depth Resolvable Statistical Post Processing in Non-Stationary Thermal Wave Imaging G.V.P. Chandra Sekhar Yadav, V. S. Ghali, Naik R. Baloji Journal of Information Systems and Telecommunication, 2022 Defects that are generated during various phases of manufacturing or transporting limit the future applicability and serviceability of materials. In order to detect these defects a non-destructive testing modality is required. Depth resolvable subsurface anomaly detection in non-stationary thermal wave imaging is a vital outcome for a reliable prominent investigation of materials due to its fast, remote and non-destructive features. The present work solves the 3-Dimensional heat diffusion equation under the stipulated boundary conditions using green’s function based analytical approach for recently introduced quadratic frequency modulated thermal wave imaging (with FLIR SC 655A as infrared sensor with spectral range of 7.5-14µm and 25 fps) to explore the subsurface details with improved sensitivity and resolution. The temperature response obtained by solving the 3-Dimensional heat diffusion equation is used along with random projection-based statistical post-processing approach to resolve the subsurface details by imposing a band of low frequencies (0.01-0.1 Hz) over a carbon fiber reinforced polymer for experimentation and extracting orthonormal projection coefficients to improve the defect detection with enhanced depth resolution. Orthonormal projection coefficients are obtained by projecting the orthonormal features of the random vectors that are extracted by using Gram-Schmidt algorithm, on the mean removed dynamic thermal data. Further, defect detectability of random projection-based post-processing approach is validated by comparing the full width at half maxima (FWHM) and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the processed results of the conventional approaches. Random projection provides detailed visualization of defects with 31% detectability even for deeper and small defects in contrast to conventional post processing modalities. Additionally, the subsurface anomalies are compared with their sizes based on full width at half maxima (FWHM) with a maximum error of 0.99% for random projection approach.
A Time Frequency-Based Approach for Defect Detection in Composites Using Nonstationary Thermal Wave Imaging G. V. P. Chandra Sekhar Yadav, V. S. Ghali, N. R. Baloji Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing, 2021 Characterization of various industrial components without impairing their future utility increases the necessity of nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques. In recent years, active thermography catches the researcher’s interest due to its distinct abilities like whole-field, contact-free, economic, defended, noninvasive, and nondestructive type of investigation. High energy deposition at low frequencies accompanied with enhanced depth resolution requirements of active thermography grabs the interest of quadratic frequency-modulated (QFM) stimulus in the recent past. On the other hand, enhanced defect detection is dependent on the extraction of an appropriate time-frequency component of chirped thermal response through a suitable processing technique. The present work employs velocity synchronous linear chirplet transformation (VSLCT) to precisely map the nonlinear chirp rate of the extracted quadratic frequency modulated thermal response. The proposed methodology is validated by carrying experimentation over carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced polymer samples with artificially made flat bottom holes and Teflon inserts. Defect detectability of the proposed technique is quantified by comparing conventional techniques with the figure of merit (FoM) as signal to noise ratio (SNR), full width at half maxima (FWHM), and probability of detection (POD). An arduous manual inspection of processed data recommends automatic defect detection through segmentation without manual intervention. An active contour-based segmentation is performed post to VSLCT technique to facilitate the automatic visualization of defects.

Defect characterisation using pulse compression-based quadratic frequency modulated thermal wave imaging Shaik Subhani, Gampa V.P. Chandra Sekhar Yadav, Venkata Subbarao Ghali Iet Science Measurement and Technology, 2020 Quantitative depth estimation, along with enhanced defect detectability, is of utmost importance for subsurface analysis in thermal wave imaging for a variety of applications. However, the size and the depth of the subsurface anomalies influence this quantitative analysis due to the non‐consideration of back reflection from the defect boundary in addition to three‐dimensional scattering effects. This study explores an experimental validation of an analytical model for quantitative depth analysis of subsurface anomalies in thermal wave detection and ranging using quadratic frequency‐modulated stimulation with pulse compression based signal processing approach and presents the depth resolution feature by considering the back reflection at the defect boundary. It also presents a study on the influence of the size of the anomaly and bandwidth of the stimulation on quantitative depth prediction using the experimentation carried over a carbon fibre reinforced plastic and mild steel specimen with artificial flat‐bottom holes.
