Abstract
A system and method predicts pitting corrosion growth using imaging technology. In an embodiment, a first module preprocesses images to locate seed points, and a second module models a corrosion life cycle of the seed points. In another embodiment, the seed points are identified with defined confidence levels, and the rate of change of features in corrosion images is analyzed to identify dominant life-cycle phases of corrosion and defining corrosion impact factor for corrosion quantification.
