Abstract

In this paper, we investigate applicability of statistical techniques for defect detection in radiographic images of welds. The defect detection procedure consists in a statistical hypothesis testing using several nonparametric tests. A comparison of rules derived for image thresholding for a given level of false alarm is presented. In this work we consider circular defects such as cavities and voids. Numerical experiments with real data are performed.
