An Internal Defect Detection Algorithm for Concrete Blocks Based on Local Mean Decomposition-Singular Value Decomposition and Weighted Spatial-Spectral Entropy.

Within the scope of concrete internal defect detection via laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV), the acquired signals frequently suffer from low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) due to the heterogeneity of the concrete's material properties and its rough surface structure. Consequently, these factors make the defect signal characteristics challenging to discern precisely. In response to this challenge, we propose an internal defect detection algorithm that incorporates local mean decomposition-singular value decomposition (LMD-SVD) and weighted spatial-spectral entropy (WSSE).

Concrete Multi-Type Defect Classification Algorithm Based on MSSMA-SVM.

In order to realize the automatic classification of internal defects for non-contact nondestructive testing of concrete, a concrete multi-type defect classification algorithm based on the mixed strategy slime mold algorithm support vector machine (MSSMA-SVM) was proposed. The concrete surface's vibration signal was obtained using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) for four classification targets for no defect, segregation, cavity, and foreign matter concrete classification targets. The wavelet packet transform (WPT) decomposes the detected signals to get information on different frequency bands.
