Abstract
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a well-established and well-documented nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique which has been proved as one of the critical assessment tools providing not only qualitative but also quantitative results useful for various applications. Even though many post processing methodologies have been used for thermal imaging analysis, there is still a need for a methodology that could possibly reduce the noise, improve the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and focus on a specific area of interest reconstructing automatically the thermal image. This work deals with fine-tuning the IRT method in order to assess the detectability of damage in composite materials.
