Abstract
Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) application/service that is configured for NDE of a wooden specimen. The NDE application/service provides a user-friendly graphical user interface that enables inspectors to manage each phase of NDE of a wooden specimen through one or more computing devices. An exemplary NDE application/service is configured to analyze captured acoustic signal data (e.g., ultrasonic signal data) and transform that captured signal data into feature information that is used to more accurately assess the structural integrity of a wooden specimen. For instance, execution of a programmed NDE application/service employs a trained artificial intelligence (AI) classifier that evaluates waveform propagation (e.g., TOF and energy attenuation) through a wooden specimen to classify a condition and a quality the wooden specimen. An NDE report may be generated that provides an inspector with an assessment of the wooden specimen and/or a network of wooden specimen.
