The quality of measurements in nondestructive testing and evaluation plays a key role in assessing the reliability of different inspection techniques. Each different technique like the magneto-optic imaging here treated is affected by some special types of noise which are related to the specific device used for their acquisition. Therefore the design of even more accurate image processing is often required by relevant applications for instance in implementing integrated solutions for flaw detection and characterization. The aim of this paper is to propose a preprocessing procedure based on independent component analysis ICA to ease the detection of rivets and or flaws in the specimens under test. A comparison of the proposed approach with some other advanced image processing methodologies used for denoising magneto-optic images MOIs is carried out in order to show advantages and weakness of ICA in improving the accuracy and performance of the rivets flaw detection. 1.
