Japanese
Our group mainly focus on research of imaging measurement, ultrasonic, and high-temperature materials.
In this year, 9 researchers, 3 staffs and 2 students (total of 14 members) are working in our group.
We aim to develop new research fields using spatiotemporal analysis and artificial intelligence and to develop their applications.
We are developing high-precision deformation and defect detection using the moiré method, digital holography, and ultrasonic visualization technology.
We are developing evaluation methods for the mechanical properties of carbon materials at ultra-high temperatures.

ABOUT US

As one of the largest public research institutes in Japan, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), creates technologies useful for industries and society in Japan and puts them into practical use: "Bridging the way to bring innovative technical seeds into commercialization."

Our group belongs to the Research Institute for Measurement and Analytical Instrumentation (RIMA), as one Division of the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ). We focus on research and development related to non-destructive evaluation by light and waves measurement technology such as Moiré imaging & AI techniques, and ultrasonic sound, etc.

RESEARCH

  • OPTICAL FULL-FIELD MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

    Development of 3-D shape and deformation measurement technology using the sampling Moiré method; displacement and vibration measurement of structures and materials, development of soundness evaluation of infrastructure structure and material design. We also develop nano-order deformation measurement system using digital holography, for aiming the development of thermal deformation measurement of the various devices.

  • ULTRASOUND VISUALIZATION & ARTIFICAIL INTELLIGENCE

    Development of nondestructive inspection system utilizing laser ultrasonic visualization technology and expansion of application to actual structural inspection. Furthermore, development of noncontact ultrasound system and development of automatic defect detection technology applying artificial intelligence technology to ultrasound image analysis will advance advancement of this inspection system.

  • MECHANICAL EVALUATION OF CARBON MATERIALS

    Development of measurement equipment and measurement technology for characterization of industrial carbon fiber materials. To disseminate and standardize the technology, we conduct mechanical and ultra-high temperature characteristic evaluation tests on carbon materials and contribute to the material design and manufacturing technology.
