Abstract

This document presents a new learning-by-example (LBE) technique for the computationally-efficient inversion of eddy current testing (ECT) data in non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT-NDE) scenarios. 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.
