Three-dimensional measurement system for in-vessel visual inspection

The main roles of in-vessel visual inspection (IVVI) are to observe internal structures and crack on the structure surface. For accurately checking those matters by visual inspection, inspectors sometimes need three-dimensional (3D) recognitions. Therefore, we developed a prototype system that has only one inspection head to obtain 3D measurements. This system is based on our 3DVT (3 Dimensional Visual Testing) technique that we have been developing. This report proposes that prototype measurement head and performance of this prototype evaluated by flat test piece and measures test piece which is simulated actual internal structure. (author)
