Abstract

IEEE A novel unsupervised sparse component extraction algorithm is proposed for detecting micro defects when employing a thermography imaging system. The proposed approach is developed using the Variational Bayesian framework. This enables a fully automated determination of the model parameters and bypasses the need for human intervention in manually selecting the appropriate image contrast frames. An internal sub-sparse grouping mechanism and adaptive fine-tuning strategy have been built to control the sparsity of the solution. The proposed algorithm is computationally affordable and yields a high accuracy objective performance. Experimental tests on both artificial and natural defects have been conducted to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.
