The connecting rod is a critical part inside the marine engine. The inspection of its important parameters is directly related to the assembly and quality of the marine engine. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a conventional choice to measure the parameters of a connecting rod. However, CMM requires significant resources in time and cost, which leads researchers into in-situ measurement....

The need of accurate measurement is a tactical objective to produce precise information in disaster monitoring. A small movement of land could be a prior index to the biggest landslide. The biggest disasters can lead by a small unnoticeable changes. The measurement of 3 dimensional surfaces changes could be calculated accurately using very high resolution satellite stereo images. The availabili...

in this paper, we introduce an efficient method based on haar wavelet to approximate a solutionfor the two-dimensional linear stochastic fredholm integral equation. we also give an example to demonstrate the accuracy of the method.

A novel method for the automated three-dimensional extraction and measurement of soft tissue lesions in CT imagery is presented. Extraction is carried out using a hybrid algorithm that incorporates elements from both competitive region growth and deformable template techniques. This algorithm is tested against manual tracing and shown to provide significantly improved performance using three pe...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the accuracy and repeatability of a 3D method for polyethylene acetabular cup wear measurements using computed tomography (CT). We propose that the method be used for clinical in vivo assessment of wear in acetabular cups. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cups with a titanium mesh molded on the outside were subjected to wear using a hip sim...

X-ray computed tomography (CT) offers significant potential as a metrological tool, given the wealth of internal and external data that can be captured, much of which is inaccessible to conventional optical and tactile coordinate measurement machines (CMM). Typical lab-based CT can take upwards of 30 min to produce a 3D model of an object, making it unsuitable for volume production inspection a...

Two-dimensional quantitative images of the density of chlorine in a supersonic expansion are produced with an absolute accuracy of 5% in 150-microm pixels by using optical absorption tomography. An incoherent arc-lamp source provides ample ultraviolet radiation for high-resolution optical absorption tomographic measurements. A measurement of the chlorine absorption coefficient is reported.

We report a novel optical microscope for full-field, noncontact measurements of three-dimensional (3D) surface deformation and topography at the microscale. The microscope system is based on a seamless integration of the diffraction-assisted image correlation (DAIC) method with fluorescent microscopy. We experimentally demonstrate the microscope's capability for 3D measurements with submicromet...
