Abstract

The present invention is a means and method for identification and recognition of an item by ultrasonic imaging of material microfeatures and/or macrofeatures within the bulk volume of a material. The invention is based upon ultrasonic interrogation and imaging of material microfeatures within the body of material by accepting only reflected ultrasonic energy from a preselected plane or volume within the material. An initial interrogation produces an identification reference. Subsequent new scans are statistically compared to the identification reference for making a match/non-match decision. 15 figs.

Feature correlation for particle image velocimetry: An application of pattern recognition

Conference Zhang, X; Cox, C

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has been used successfully for measuring instantaneous two dimensional velocity fields. Analyzing PIV images involves matching particle images captured sequentially. A feature-recognition method is proposed here for analyzing PIV images. It first extracts structural features of the particle pattern after their locations have been isolated from images. A preliminary process is to replace the particle images by the Cartesian coordinates of particle centers. In this way the brightness of particle images plays no further part, and the point positions are used to establish structural features: topological relations between each point and its neighbors.

On the design of acousto-ultrasonics-pattern recognition classifiers for the identification of material response states

Conference Haddad, Y; Molina, G

This paper deals with the design procedure of computer-based Pattern Recognition (PR) Classifiers, when the Acousto-Ultrasonics (AU) technique is employed for the identification of material response states. For this purpose, material specimens presenting different mechanical response states are processed to retrieve AU signals in the form of digitalized records. The retrieved AU data are, then, grouped in distinct classes, each pertaining to a known response state of the material under consideration. These AU data are, subsequently, identified by pattern vectors, the components of which represent values of characteristic features in certain domains of description. PR-classifiers built from these pattern vectorsmore »« less
An acousto-ultrasonics pattern recognition approach for the characterization of the mechanical response of engineering materials

Book Haddad, Y; Molina, G

Acousto-Ultrasonic technique, in conjunction with pattern recognition methodology, is demonstrated to be a successful non-destructive tool for the characterization of the mechanical response of engineering materials. In this context, the value of the internal stress, under different mechanical inputs, is correlated with the so-called Acousto-ultrasonic Parameter (AUP). The latter is an identification property of the wave propagation characteristics of the material. In this paper, the principles and instrumentations involved in the acousto-ultrasonic technique are described. Statistical pattern recognition methodology, used for the analysis of acousto-ultrasonic waveforms and in the design of the required discriminating classifiers, is presented. Illustrative examples aremore »« less
Development of an expert-system embedding pattern-recognition techniques for pollution-source identification. Report for 30 September 1987-29 November 1989

Technical Report Datta, Bithin; Beegle, Jean; Kavvas, M; ...

A new methodology for the identification of unknown sources of ground-water pollution is developed. The new methodology is based on the concept of statistical pattern recognition. The statistical pattern-recognition algorithm uses Bayes' Optimal Decision Rule. The function of the pattern-recognition system is to match statistically an observed set of concentrations in the field with a comparable set obtained by simulating ground-water transport for various disposal conditions. In order to make the application of the methodology easier, an Expert System was developed. The Expert System uses the results obtained by applying the pattern-recognition algorithm to select a particular set of pollution-sourcemore »« less
