A Study of the Multisensor Estimation Method Based on Fusion Technology for Subsurface Defect Depth

In consideration of difficulty in directly using the multisensor detecting feature information for the defect identification, an improved multisensor recognition algorithm based on data-fusion technology for subsurface defect depth evaluation is proposed. At first, two common nondestructive testing technologies such as ultrasonic testing (UT) and eddy current testing (ECT) are introduced; then, a fusion method based on the error distribution characteristics of two kinds of detection methods is improved through the hyperbolic discriminant function to evaluate the subsurface defect depth. The experimental result shows that the improved algorithm is superior to the existing algorithm, so it can achieve better synthesis results and improve the correct recognition rate.
