We investigate statistical methods for combining the results of two complementary inspection techniques, eddy-current and ultrasonic testing. The reliability of rejection/acceptance decisions based on combined information is compared with that based on each inspection technique individually. Combination methods, ranging from a simple OR of individual decisions to more sophisticated data fusion algorithms, are assessed. We find that the measured reliability increases with the amount of information incorporated in the decision. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
