Noise Assessment in Whitney Elements Based Forward Transformation for High Resolution Eddy Current Tomography

  • Conference paper
Progress in Automation, Robotics and Measuring Techniques

Abstract

Paper presents the results of application of Whitney elements based method for performing the forward transformation in eddy current tomography. Accuracy and the noise level of such a forward transformation is the most important factor determining efficiency and metrological properties of eddy current tomography. Comparison of the experimental results of measurements on eddy current tomography test stand, and results of modelling utilizing Whitney elements indicated high accuracy of modelling. However, results of modelling present unacceptable noise level. Sources of this noise are analysed in the paper, indicating the guidelines to overcome this barrier.
