8:00 AM - 8:30 AM
209/210 - Technical Session

Details

Specific Objectives:
1. Modelling Defects on Curved Aeronautical Surfaces: Discuss the process of modelling defects on curved aeronautical surfaces, highlighting how the models help understand defect signals. Present modelling results to illustrate the nature and implications of defects in aeronautical materials.
2. Development of a CNN Model for Semantic Segmentation: Explain the creation of a Convolutional Neural Network model based on the Unet architecture for semantic segmentation. Detail the model's application in accurately segmenting and localizing defects, and present the segmentation results and the evaluation metrics used to validate the model's effectiveness.
3. Classification of Defect Areas by Depth: Outline the methods for segmenting defects into depth categories. Describe how the classification enhances the diagnostic process by differentiating defect severity, and share the classification results to demonstrate the practical benefits of the approach in assessing aeronautical defects.
In the presentation these objectives will be detailed and demonstrated through various examples.
