Diagnostic System The transducer imposes prescribed circumferential displacements in the accessible pipe section and acquires the reflected waveforms Denoising, data reduction and filter extraction (FFT2 and PCA) A Neural Network MLP makes a decision on the class whose the defect belongs to Data set Features extraction and data reduction Neural Network • 300 numerical simulations of a pipe with different notches in the external wall and one simulation of a fault free pipe (in total 301 simulations). • 36 waveforms for each defect (36 observing points). FFT2, Treshold, PCA • For each of 301 simulation • 460 temporal samples • 36 observing points 17 “features” for each simulation (17x301) • Training set : 17x723 • Validation set: 17x30 • Test set: 17x30 • 1 hidden layer with 20 nodes • 3 Output (angular amplitude, thickness and axial lenght) Test and validation set each of 17x30 New Augmented Training set 17x723 Original 17x241 matrix + 2 new 17x241 matrix perturbed Training set 17x241 Results • Angular Amplitude classification: Mean Error equal to 1.8% • Thickness Classification: Mean Error equal to 2.9% • Width Classification: Mean Error equal to 4.8%
