摘要: An inspection system includes one or more imaging devices and one or more processors. The imaging devices generate a first set of images of a work piece at a first position relative to the work piece and a second set of images of the work piece at a second position relative to the work piece. At least some of the images in the first and second sets are acquired using different light settings. The processors analyze the first set of images to generate a first prediction image associated with the first position, and analyze the second set of images to generate a second prediction image associated with the second position. The first and second prediction images include respective candidate regions. The processors merge the first and second prediction images to detect at least one predicted defect in the work piece depicted in at least one of the candidate regions.

摘要: An inspection system includes an imaging device, visible light source, ultraviolet light source, and at least one processor. The imaging device generates a first image set of a work piece while the ultraviolet light source illuminates the work piece with ultraviolet light to cause fluorescent dye thereon to emit light, and generates a second image set of the work piece while the visible light source illuminates the work piece with visible light. The first and second image sets are generated at the same positions of the imaging device relative to the work piece. The processor maps the second image set to a computer design model of the work piece based on features depicted in the second image set and the positions of the imaging device. The processor determines a defect location on the work piece based on an analysis of the first image set and the computer design model.

摘要: A system includes one or more processors configured to automatically identify different distressed portions in repeating segments of a rotating body. At least one of a size and/or a shape of one or more of the distressed portions changes with respect to time. The one or more processors also are configured to determine a pattern of the different distressed portions in the repeating segments of the rotating body during rotation of the rotating body based on identifying the different distressed portions. The one or more processors also are configured to subsequently automatically identify locations of individual segments of the repeating segments in the rotating body using the pattern of the distressed portions that is determined.

摘要: A method includes determining object class probabilities of pixels in a first input image by examining the first input image in a forward propagation direction through layers of artificial neurons of an artificial neural network. The object class probabilities indicate likelihoods that the pixels represent different types of objects in the first input image. The method also includes selecting, for each of two or more of the pixels, an object class represented by the pixel by comparing the object class probabilities of the pixels with each other, determining an error associated with the object class that is selected for each pixel of the two or more pixels, determining one or more image perturbations by back-propagating the errors associated with the object classes selected for the pixels of the first input image through the layers of the neural network without modifying the neural network, and modifying a second input image by applying the one or more image perturbations to one or more of the first input image or the second input image prior to providing the second input image to the neural network for examination by the neurons in the neural network for automated object recognition in the second input image.

摘要: A system for compensating for a relative motion between a probe and an apparatus. The system includes a probe assembly, a sensor, and a computer. The probe assembly includes an actuator pack positioned exterior to the apparatus and a probe insertable into the apparatus. The probe includes a first end coupled to the actuator pack, a second end, and an elongated body extending therebetween. The sensor senses data indicative of a relative motion between the apparatus and the probe assembly. The computer is operably coupled with the sensor and the probe assembly to move the probe of the probe assembly in response to the sensor sensing the data indicative of the relative motion between the apparatus and the probe assembly.

摘要: Methods for performing in situ balancing of an internal rotating component of a gas turbine engine are provided. The method can include inserting a repair tool through an access port of the gas turbine engine with the repair tool including a tip end positioned within the gas turbine engine and a material supply end positioned outside the gas turbine engine. The tip end of the repair tool is positioned adjacent to a surface of the internal rotating component of the gas turbine engine. A new material is supplied from the material supply end of the repair tool to the tip end of the repair tool; and is expelling from the tip end of the repair tool in a direction of the surface of the rotating component such that the new material is added onto a portion of the rotating part.

摘要: A system includes one or more processors and a memory that stores a generative adversarial network (GAN). The one or more processors are configured to receive a low resolution point cloud comprising a set of three-dimensional (3D) data points that represents an object. A generator of the GAN is configured to generate a first set of generated data points based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the data points in the low resolution point cloud, and to interpolate the generated data points into the low resolution point cloud to produce a super-resolved point cloud that represents the object and has a greater resolution than the low resolution point cloud. The one or more processors are further configured to analyze the super-resolved point cloud for detecting one or more of an identity of the object or damage to the object.
