Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing Image Enhancement Model Based on Super-Resolution Imaging

Ultrasonic nondestructive testing has been widely used in various industries due to its simple operation and harmlessness for the object to be detected. However, due to the mechanism of ultrasonic image generation, the generated ultrasonic images often have low resolution, which greatly affects the final detection results. How to improve the resolution of ultrasonic images has become the key to improving the accuracy of defect detection. Therefore, this paper proposes an ultrasonic super-resolution model based on up- and down-sampling layers and multi-layer residual networks combined with Charbonnier loss function. The degradation features of the image are learned through up- and down-sampling layers, and the intrinsic features of the image are learned through multi-layer residual networks, so that all the feature information of the image is fully learned. The Charbonnier loss function accelerates the convergence of the model. Experimental results show that the model proposed in this paper outperforms the common model performance.

Abstract

Ultrasonic nondestructive testing has been widely used in various industries due to its simple operation and harmlessness for the object to be detected. However, due to the mechanism of ultrasonic image generation, the generated ultrasonic images often have low resolution, which greatly affects the final detection results. How to improve the resolution of ultrasonic images has become the key to improving the accuracy of defect detection. Therefore, this paper proposes an ultrasonic super-resolution model based on up- and down-sampling layers and multi-layer residual networks combined with Charbonnier loss function. The degradation features of the image are learned through up- and down-sampling layers, and the intrinsic features of the image are learned through multi-layer residual networks, so that all the feature information of the image is fully learned. The Charbonnier loss function accelerates the convergence of the model. Experimental results show that the model proposed in this paper outperforms the common model performance.
