Abstract
Terahertz (THz) reflectometry has been employed to quality control of Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in a nondestructive and contactless fashion. Owing to relatively long wavelength of THz waves, as well as diffraction and absorption dispersion during propagation, THz imaging fails to visualize subtle damage in GFRP composites. We design one lightweight deep-learning network based on multiscale residual attention mechanism to characterize damage at different depths in GFRP composites. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework can not only enhance the spatial resolution of THz images but also achieve high-precision localization and classification of hidden damages. Compared to classic object detection models, our method has proved to be beneficial to improve the accuracy of damages characterization within THz-nondestructive testing (NDT) scenarios.
