Machine vision in automotive manufacturing
Adil ShafiThe resolution capabilities of cameras, modern pattern recognition algorithms, and the physical capabilities of robots allow for the creation of machine vision solutions in many…
New instrument aims to measure appearance
Christine ConnollyA new instrument has been designed and built to measure the reflectance of light at continuously variable angles of incidence and reflection. The project aims to improve the…
Optical inspection tools for the automotive industry
Christine ConnollyThis paper deals with two aspects of optical inspection in the automotive industry: machine vision and colour measurement. Machine vision, by smart camera or by personal computer…
Boom time for LIBS technology
Robert W. BogueThis paper describes recent developments in laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and discusses emerging applications. These include military and security uses…
New on‐vehicle performance and emission monitoring system
Robert W. BogueThis paper, describes a low cost, on‐vehicle performance and emission monitoring system, VPEMS, which was developed under the UK government's Faraday Partnership scheme. The…
Measuring the density of dingo teeth with machine vision
John Billingsley, Kerry WithersCollaboration between a mechatronics engineer and a biologist resulted in an unlikely application of machine vision. To deduce the density of the porous teeth, the volume had to…
Bragg grating temperature sensors: modeling the effect of adhesion of polymeric coatings
Jinu Paul, Zhao Liping, Bryan Ngoi, Fang Zhong PingPolymeric coatings and packaging are often used to enhance the temperature sensitivity of fiber Bragg grating temperature sensors. The high thermal expansion coefficient of the…
Embedding and characterization of fiber‐optic and thin‐film sensors in metallic structures
Xiaochun Li, Wenliang Tang, Anastasios GolnasIt is often important to acquire information such as temperature and strain values from metallic tools and structures in situ. With embedded sensors, structures are capable of…
Optical pyrometry for gas turbine aeroengines
Clive Kerr, Paul IveyFundamentally, it is advantageous to operate an aeroengine's thermodynamic cycle at as high a turbine entry temperature as practical for the current metallurgical limits of the…
