Sizing Subsurface Defects in Metallic Plates by Square Pulse Thermography Using an Oriented Gradient Map

We developed a new approach for sizing subsurface defects in the square pulse thermography of metallic plates by employing the oriented gradient of histograms. To size defects with high accuracies is still a challenge in infrared (IR) thermography today. Especially for blurry defects, accurate sizin...
