Research abstract
NDE data has become ?Big Data?, and is overwhelming the abilities of NDE technicians and commercially available tools to deal with it. In the current state of the art in industrial practice, there is no integration of the NDE data into design data, NDE models, and structural integrity models for a holistic structural capability assessment. Our proposal responds to these issues described in the subtopic H13.01, Advanced NDE Modeling and Analysis. The innovations provided by the NDEToolbox? are:
1. Context-based data browsing and retrieval for diverse sets of large data.
2. Automated data analysis / reduction algorithms for aerospace composites.
3. Data fusion algorithms enabling the use of data from design, modeling (NDE and structural), and multiple NDE methods for the improved quantification of defects.
4. A plug-in architecture enabling further expansion
