Inverse Problem of corrosion detection



We are studying the numerical solution of a particular inverse problem which consists in the detection of hidden corrosion in an  unobservable surface of a material object, whose geometry and material properties are known. Since the corrosion is not directly measurable, we estimate it using a nondestructive infrared thermographic inspection. The a priori knowledge about the material object allows us to use a physical-mathematical model based on the heat equation to support the estimate. Given a suitable parametrization of the corrosion geometric profile, the mathematical problem consists in estimating the corroded model domain, starting from the reference (healthy) one.
