Investigation of various criteria for evaluation of aluminum thin foil ‘‘smart sensors’’ images

Various criteria for processing of aluminum foil ''smart sensors'' images for fatigue evaluation of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) were analyzed. There are informative parameters used to assess image quality and surface relief and accordingly to characterize the fatigue damage state of CFRP. The sensitivity of all criteria to distortion influences, particularly, to Gaussian noise, blurring and JPEG compression was investigated. The main purpose of the research is related to the search of informative parameters for fatigue evaluation, which are the least sensitive to different distortions.
