Abstract
This paper describes progress in eddy-current methods to identify and size defects. An eddy-current imaging method is used to generate data for analysis of small defects. Characterization of the defect is derived from this information and the validity of the derivation is determined by study of artificial and natural defects. Initial results have a theoretical foundation but more advanced analysis is needed.
