The evaluation of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods in terms of reliability is an increasing demand in various industries and applications. The probability of detection (POD) is the most frequently used method for this task. In the testing of holes with low-frequency eddy current testing, the frequently-used one-parametric POD approach cannot b...
Article
The assessment of the Probability of Detection (POD) is used to evaluate the reliability of the non-destructive testing (NDT) system. The POD is required in industries, where a missed flaw might cause grave consequences. If only the artificial defects are evaluated, the POD could lead to wrong conclusion or even be invalid. The POD based on real fl...

... The signal response and POD are also expressed as a function of flaw size [32][33][34]. Some recent studies have proposed a POD model considering multiple flaw parameters: the multivariate POD model [35][36][37][38][39][40]. Moreover, as preparing many experimental specimens for POD evaluation is very expensive and time consuming, model-assisted POD (MAPOD) [41][42][43][44] has been proposed to mitigate the cost and complexity of the work and to thus increase the efficiency of POD evaluation, with the help of the existing knowledge or numerical simulations. ...
