• Abstract summary: We focus on the primary task of damage detection, where signal processing techniques are commonly employed. We train an ensemble of variational autoencoders only on simulation data with a wave physics-guided adversarial component. We compare our scheme with existing deep learning detection schemes and observe superior performance on experimental data.

• Abstract: Guided wave testing is a popular approach for monitoring the structural integrity of infrastructures. We focus on the primary task of damage detection, where signal processing techniques are commonly employed. The detection performance is affected by a mismatch between the wave propagation model and experimental wave data. External variations, such as temperature, which are difficult to model, also affect the performance. While deep learning models can be an alternative detection method, there is often a lack of real-world training datasets. In this work, we counter this challenge by training an ensemble of variational autoencoders only on simulation data with a wave physics-guided adversarial component. We set up an experiment with non-uniform temperature variations to test the robustness of the methods. We compare our scheme with existing deep learning detection schemes and observe superior performance on experimental data.

• A Discrepancy Aware Framework for Robust Anomaly Detection [51.710249807397695]
  We present a Discrepancy Aware Framework (DAF), which demonstrates robust performance consistently with simple and cheap strategies. Our method leverages an appearance-agnostic cue to guide the decoder in identifying defects, thereby alleviating its reliance on synthetic appearance. Under the simple synthesis strategies, it outperforms existing methods by a large margin. Furthermore, it also achieves the state-of-the-art localization performance.
