Abstract
Full-scale aircraft structural fatigue testing exposes structural weaknesses by simulating the use of the aircraft in service and monitoring the development and expansion of fatigue cracks to guide the optimisation of aircraft structural design, the determination of service life and the development of maintenance and repair programmes. If crack damage is not detected in time, the uncontrolled expansion of the crack may lead to structural damage and prolong the test cycle. Therefore, it is crucial to achieve accurate detection of early cracks in fatigue testing of aircraft structures. Digital image technology is a new technology supported by a number of technical and theoretical achievements. In practical application, it relies on the support of computer functions, by converting image information into two-dimensional digital signals, thus realising various operations. In this paper, digital image processing techniques are used to deepen the backbone feature extraction network structure and improve the prediction scale of small targets, thus improving the performance of the model in terms of feature extraction and small defect detection. Experimental results show that the method can achieve accurate detection of small cracks, providing an effective technical approach for the automatic detection of cracks in aircraft structural fatigue tests. The technique of detecting cracks in aircraft structures using digital image processing also provides a new idea for research into improving aircraft endurance testing, which can be further developed with the aid of image technology.
