Offline Signature recognition plays an important role in Forensic issues. In this paper, we explore Signature Identification and Verification using features extracted from pretrained Convolution Neural Network model (Alex Net). All the experiments are performed on signatures from three dataset (SigComp2011) (Dutch, Chinese), SigWiComp2013 (Japanese) and SigWIcomp2015 (Italian). The result shows that features extracted from pretrained Deep Convolution neural network and SVM as classifier show better results than that of Decision Tree. The accuracy of more than 96% for Japanese, Italian, Dutch and Chinese Signatures is obtained with Deep Convolution neural network and SVM as classifier.

In the actual production environment, the eddy current imaging inspection of titanium plate defects is prone to scan shift, scale distortion, and noise interference in varying degrees, which leads to the defect false detection and even missed inspection. In view of this problem, a novel image recognition and classification method based on convolutional neural network (CNN) for eddy current detection of titanium plate defects is proposed. By constructing a variety of experimental conditions and collecting defect signals, the characteristics of eddy current testing (ECT) signals for titanium plate defects are analyzed, and then the convolution structure and learning parameters are set. The structural characteristics of local connectivity and shared weights of CNN have better feature learning and characterization capabilities for titanium plate defect images under scan shift, scale distortion, and strong noise interference. The results prove that, compared with other deep learning and classical machine learning methods, the CNN has a higher recognition and classification accuracy for the defect eddy current image of the titanium plate in the complex detection environment.

This paper applies to individuals charged with maintaining the reliability of shell and tube heat exchangers. These persons typically specify and/or retain the services of others to examine heat exchangers with nondestructive test methods, such as eddy current and are responsible for submitting run-repair-replace recommendations to management. Electromagnetic Testing (ET) uses the electromagnetic characteristics of components made of conductive materials to determine their condition. Eddy Current Testing (ECT), an electromagnetic method that utilizes induced electrical currents, is usually used to examine non-ferromagnetic materials. ECT’s high rate of examination, relatively good accuracy with thin wall components, repeatability and volumetric measurement make it an ideal method for examining nonmagnetic heat exchanger tubes. This paper will provide a brief description of the method, concentrating on ECT because most power generation industry heat exchanger tubing is non-ferromagnetic in nature. This paper will also address the following: • Training and Certification of Technicians. • ET signal analysis, an exacting science? • ASME Section V, Appendix II vs. Appendix VIII for in-situ ECT of all heat exchanger tubing. • Signal analysis variables and limitations. • A need to know the potential degradation mechanisms. • Condition assessment vs. eddy current testing.
