A robotized thermal NDT unit intended for the inspection of large-size cylindrical parts is described. The unit implements line heating and temperature scanning by using an infrared imager. Experimental results are illustrated on metal-nonmetal standard samples. An algorithm allowing the evaluation of defect depth by using a neural network is described.
