Wavelet transforms can be used for active thermal nondestructive testing for the identification of flaws that are located at different depths and produce Gaussian-like signals characterized by a time shift on a heated surface. The results of the application of scalar and complex wavelet analysis for increasing the signal/noise ratio in the active thermal inspection of flaws in composite materials and thermal-barrier coatings, as well as also for revealing the corrosion in metals, are described. Parent Morlét, Paul, and Mexican-hat wavelets were used.
