Quantitative Nondestructive Testing of Wire Ropes Based on Features Fusion of Magnetic Image and Infrared Image

الملخص EN

Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) detection is one of the most widely used and best performing wire rope nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for more than a decade.

However, the traditional MFL detection has the disadvantages of single source of information, low precision, easy to miss detection, and false detection.

To solve these problems, we propose a method of fusion recognition of magnetic image features and infrared image features.

A denoising algorithm based on Hilbert vibration decomposition (HVD) and wavelet transform is proposed to denoise the MFL signal, and the modulus maxima method is used to locate and segment the defect.

An infrared image acquisition system was designed to collect the infrared image of the surface of the wire rope.

Digital image processing techniques are used to segment infrared defect images.

The features of the MFL image and the infrared image are extracted separately for fusion.

The fusion feature is input into the nearest neighbor (NN) algorithm for quantitative identification, and the same data are input into the backpropagation (BP) neural network for comparison verification.

The experimental results show that the fusion of MFL features and infrared features effectively improves the recognition rate of wire rope defects and reduces the recognition error.
