Abstract
An eddy current (EC) detection system comprises an EC probe including a plurality of sensors to provide corresponding EC response signals; and processing circuitry to evaluate speed of the EC probe based on a measurement of similarity of the EC response signals; determine whether the speed of the EC probe is too fast or two slow based on quality of the measurement; and generate a command to adjust speed of the EC probe during further EC inspection.
