摘要： A system and method for identifying flaws in a part being inspected includes generating a 3-d representation of the part, the 3-d representation comprising 3-d spatial coordinates corresponding to different locations on the part, and registering the 3-d spatial coordinates with corresponding locations of a part being inspected. An image of the part being inspected is generated, and a flaw in the part being inspected is identified from the generated image. A location of the flaw is correlated to a corresponding 3-d spatial coordinate, and a device is controlled to perform an operation on the part being inspected at the flaw location using information of the corresponding 3-d spatial coordinate.

摘要： A method, system and apparatus for processing a radiographic image of a scanned object is disclosed. A pixel offset correction is performed in integer format on the radiographic image using saturation arithmetic to produce an image in integer format with any negative corrected values clipped to a value of zero. The resulting pixels are converted to floating point format and the converted pixels are multiplied by a gain factor. Optionally the resulting pixels are recursively averaged with previous results. The resulting pixels are converted to integer format and the converted pixel values are clamped to a maximum value using saturation arithmetic. Non-functional pixel correction is performed in integer format and the resulting pixel values are clamped to a maximum value using saturation arithmetic. An optional processing path replaces the recursive average by a linear average. The resulting pixel values are optionally filtered to enhance features of interest. The resulting pixel value is mapped in integer format to a palette index to establish an output pixel intensity having one of many intensity levels. The optional processing is controlled through the hardware interface of a real-time image controller as images are acquired.

摘要： A system and method for radiographic inspection of airfoil structure on aircraft includes a radiation source located on one side of the airfoil structure and an X-Y scanning device located on an opposing side of the airfoil structure. The X-Y scanning device is positioned to receive radiation from the radiation source. A radiation detector is mounted on the X-Y scanning device so as to be moveable relative to the airfoil structure along t two mutually orthogonal axes. In operation, the radiation detector is moved in a predetermined raster pattern while the radiation source is emitting radiation. This allows a large area to be inspected with single positioning of the X-Y scanning device, thereby improving throughput. The radiation detector converts impinging radiation into electrical signals, and a computer system processes the signals to generate radiographic images of the airfoil structure.

摘要： A method of radiographic inspection of an object includes the steps of: providing a radiation source and a radiation detector located on opposite sides of the object; positioning the radiation detector to receive radiation transmitted through the object from the radiation source; radiographically imaging an region of interest of the object with the radiation source and the radiation detector, using an set of initial imaging parameters, to produce a test image; obtaining at least one quality measurement of the test image; comparing the quality measurement to predetermined image quality limits; and in response to the quality measurement exceeding the predetermined image quality limits, changing at least one of the initial imaging parameters to generate a new set of image parameters. The process may be repeated iteratively until a final set of imaging parameters is obtained.
