More precisely, the developed approach exploits a uniform sampling strategy to build a training set of input/output (I/O) pairs and exploits such information to train a Support Vector Regressor (SVR). During the on-line testing phase, previously-unseen ECT data are given as input to the trained model in order to predict the position of a single narrow crack within a planar conductive structure. Some representative numerical results are shown, in order to preliminarily assess the capabilities of the developed approach when dealing with the presence of a non-negligible amount of noise on test data. publisher: University of Trento date: 2016 type: Monograph type: NonPeerReviewed format: text language: en identifier: http://www.eledia.org/students-reports/712/1/Fast_Inversion_of_Eddy_Current_Testing_Data_Through_a_Learning-by-Examples_Approach_for_Robust_Crack_Localization.v2.pdf identifier: Salucci, M. and Anselmi, N. and Oliveri, G. and Massa, A.
