Feasibility Study of a Structured Light System Applied to Welding Inspection Based on Articulated Coordinate Measure Machine Data

The results of visual inspection of welds in structures and machines depend on both the vision of the inspector and his/her measurement skills. The use of 3-D reconstruction technologies, as the structured light system (SLS), allows the accurate assessment of the weld bead according to the quality criteria. With the proposed procedure in this paper, the extraction of fundamental quality parameters...
