Abstract

This paper discusses the current trends and state of the art in using artificial intelligence (AI) for analyzing thermographic inspection data. Several articles aimed at automating the process of dispositioning parts/components using thermography were reviewed and presented. In addition, the challenges and path forward for achieving the deliverables of NDE 4.0 in the context of thermography were discussed and elaborated.
