The matrix Band Elimination technique allows the monitoring and analysis of a components structure based on Filtering of bands and correlation between sequentially pulsed thermal im- ages and their indices. The technique produces several matrices resulting from frame deviation and pixel redistribution calculations for intelligent classification and property prediction. The obtained results proved the technique to be capa- ble of identifying damaged components with ability to model various types of damage under different conditions.

Introduction A composite structure may also be damaged in service due to physical damage such as impact or fatigue creep. The influence of the environment on a structure due to ingress or moisture, exposure to hot and wet conditions for over long periods, contamination from oils or fluids may also cause damage, like surface abrasion and dents, delamination, fiber crack, bonding failure. Such defects are all potentially detrimental to the me- chanical integrity, and consequently to the structural performance of a component. The extent to which a de- fect will affect the performance will depend on the ge- ometry of the structure, the location and orientation o
