Comparison (Scalar)

Measurement

Technology

Remote Visual

Inspection

Comparison Measurement Principles

•Comparison measurements use the size of a known

object (often set in place by the manufacturer, or

introduced with the probe) to measure other objects

in the same view and plane.

•Such measurements are made using frozen or

recalled images.

•Choose optical curvature distortion correction for tip

•Probe must be perpendicular to item of interest to be

measured.

•Item of interest to be measured must be the same

approximate distance from the probe tip as the

reference measurement used.

Comparison Measurement

Technology

Scaling Pixels- basis for measurements

• The Computer counts the number of pixels between the 2

cursors.

• It then divides that number into the value assigned by the

inspector.

• Each and every pixel on screen is given the same calculated

value.

• Assigning a value to each pixel is the basis for Comparative,

Shadow

• and Traditional Stereo Measurement

Comparison Measurement – How It Works

• The bolt head is a known 0.500 inches.

• The inspector marks both sides with a cursor.

• The computer counts the number of pixels between the cursors.

• In this case, there are 50 pixels so the value per pixel is 0.010 in

• (0.500 inch/50Pixels = 0.01 inches per Pixel)

• So now our unknown hole diameter is 25 PIXELS wide or

• 25 Pixels X .010 in/pixel = 0.250 inches

When & Why To Use Comparison

Measurement

•Do not have a 3DPM or stereo tip

•Need to measure further away than a 3DPM

or stereo tip will allow (Object to be measured

is too big to fit within the field of view)…such

as Combustor Liner crack measurements

•Cannot place obtain a “measurable” 3DPM

or Stereo image

•Ideal for checking the approximate size of

many items quickly

Freeze the image – Select Comparison Measurement

How To Perform Comparison Measurements

Select a measurement type

Mark known dimension points

Enter known dimension

Place cursors on item of interest

Red LED Fringe Pattern projected onto

surface

And the fringes have structure:

- 120 deg phase shift

- Sinusoidal Intensity

Imager3D PM Tip

Optics Configuration Fringe patterns are projected using 2

sets of LEDs on each side of viewing

optics.

Object distance at each point is

computed using pattern trajectories

(triangulation) known from

calibration.

By projection of a sequence of binary

coded stripe patterns, the subsequent

light levels for each scene pixel are

forming a unique binary word revealing

the individual stripe number. To minimize

the effect of bit errors, the stripe patterns

are designed to change only one bit per

stripe (Gray codes)

At least 3 phase shifted gray gradient

patterns are needed for a precision

analysis of position from the gray values.

Three simultaneous color patterns are

also used in certain applications.
