Abstract (EN): Nowadays, testing and evaluating of industrial equipment using nondestructive tests, is a fundamental step in the manufacturing process. The complexity and high costs of manufacturing industrial components, require examinations in some way about the quality and reliability of the specimens. However, it should be noted, that in order to accurately perform the nondestructive test, in addition to theoretical knowledge, it is also essential to have the experience and carefulness, which requires special courses and experience with theoretical education. Therefore, in the traditional methods, which are based on manual testing techniques and the test results depend on the operator, there is the possibility of an invalid inference from the test data. In other words, the accuracy of conclusion from the obtained data is dependent on the skill and experience of the operator. Thus, using the signal processing techniques for nondestructive evaluation (NDE), it is possible to optimize the methods of nondestructive inspection, and in other words, to improve the overall system performance, in terms of reliability and system implementation costs. In recent years, intelligent signal processing techniques have had a significant impact on the progress of nondestructive assessment. In other words, by automating the processing of nondestructive data and signals, and using the artificial intelligence methods, it is possible to optimize nondestructive inspection methods. Hence, improve overall system performance in terms of reliability and Implementation costs of the system. This chapter reviews the issues of intelligent processing of nondestructive testing (NDT) signals.
