Problem Statement

  • Generally, NDE/NDT plays a vital role in improving the manufacturing productivity and quality. There are a few NDT/NDE inspection techniques such as feature-based classification, artificial neural networks & adaptive filtering which have been developed to perform automatic radiographic inspections of the objects.
  • However, application of these techniques is restricted due to lack of sufficient training data to train the NDE/NDT system to perform defect identification, which leads to inefficient implementation of said NDT/NDE techniques.
  • Present invention addresses above issues in efficient manner.

Technology

  • Present invention describes a system and method for automatically identifying one or more anomalies in the objects.
  • The system receives experimental data of the object and applies a probability density function (PDF) upon one or more variables associated with the experimental data to determine corresponding one or more PDF estimates.
  • Further generates simulated data associated with the object based on at least one of the one or more PDF estimates and priori data associated with the testing of the object.
  • The simulated data comprises one or more new anomalies unknown in the experimental data along with the one or more anomalies of the experimental data.
  • Furthermore, the system trains a learning model based on the one or more new anomalies and the one or more anomalies of the experimental data.
  • The learning model is applied for detecting any anomaly in an object.
