The classification of pipe crack size from its pulse- echo ultrasonic signal is a difficult task but greatly significant for defect evaluation in pipe testing and the maintenance strategy making. In this book, we use Support Vector Machines (SVM) to classify the pipe crack into correct categories, large size or small size, with the ultrasonic signal data. In order to acquire an optimal input data set, we first select the features from the time and frequency domain on the ultrasonic data. Then a combined method, Sequential Backward Selection (SBS) and Sequential Forward Selection...
