Abstract

A method for identifying a defect opening profile includes: acquiring a vertical component of a magnetic flux leakage signal of a defect; identifying right-angle features and corresponding right-angle position points of the defect from the vertical component; obtaining all possible right-angle types at each right-angle position point of the defect according to the corresponding right-angle feature of the vertical component; traversing all the possible right-angle types at each right-angle position point to determine respective optimal right-angle type at each right-angle position point; and drawing the defect opening profile according to the respective optimal right-angle type at each right-angle position point.
