| contents | Significant progress has been made in ultrasonic guided wave (UGW) technology for pipe signal processing and defect imaging recently. However, developing a defect localization and imaging algorithm that requires fewer parameters, offers a wide imaging range, and achieves high positioning accuracy remains a considerable challenge. Traditional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation methods primarily focus on the single-angle estimation with low resolution, failing to satisfy the spatial localization requirements for pipeline defects. Therefore, a high-resolution spatial spectrum estimation algorithm is introduced to realize the two-dimensional DOA estimation. By distributing multiple sensors in a specific geometric configuration to form an array, this method employs the array signal processing technology to accurately obtain the DOA of spatial signals. A uniform circular array (UCA) is employed in the present study to receive signals from pipe defects, and high-precision localization and imaging of defects are achieved based on the two-dimensional minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming algorithm, with a relative positioning error of less than 1%. An image classification method based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) is further developed to distinguish the defect types. By constructing a novel CNN model to extract defect features and perform classification, this model achieves a prediction accuracy of 97.50%, which effectively distinguishes between defect types. |
