Utilizing Advanced Imaging and Image Processing for Non-Destructive Inspection in Quality Control, Failure Analysis, and New Material / Product Development
(MASTERCLASS IN EMERGING MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES)
Introduction
Advanced non-destructive inspection such as online optical imaging, high-resolution X-ray computed
tomography (XCT), ultrasonic testing array, lidar, and bioimaging have become essential inspection tools in many industries including electronics, life science, automotive, advanced materials, aerospace, and
MedTech to address the increasing demand for product quality, cost reduction and shortening the new product development time.
This masterclass is specifically designed based on A*STAR SIMTech and ARTC researchers’ deep
understanding of the trends and recent advancements of these imaging and image-processing technologies and our success stories of long-time collaboration with local industries to give participants the must-have insights, knowledge, and hands-on experience to various technologies and their typical applications so that they can choose the most suitable solutions when a particular inspection problem occurs in their workspace.
The 3-day course is carefully structured into 6 sessions.
-
Session 1 will give an overview of the various advanced imaging technologies, and then focus on optical imaging technologies and their applications.
-
Session 2 will talk about ultrasonic testing (UT), lidar, and bioimaging. Application-related issues with the technologies will be elaborated through case studies covering the use of UT for Y-shape and T-shape pipe defects inspection, lidar for container damage inspection etc.
- Session 3 will focus on high-resolution X-ray 2D/CT imaging and its powerful functions for the metrology of internal features, defects detection, porosity analysis, fiber tensors analysis, foam material analysis, etc.
-
Session 4 and Session 5 will cover both traditional image processing and AI-assisted feature classification and discuss their respective suitable application scenarios and limitations.
-
To enhance and deepen the understanding of participants, the final session will arrange discussion and sharing for workspace inspection problems, followed by lab hands-on training.
