20100274525 | Laser Scanning Measurement Systems And Methods For Surface Shape Measurement Of Hidden Surfaces - Laser scanning measurement systems and methods are disclosed that allow for surface shape measurements of otherwise hidden portions of an object's surface. The system includes a laser system that scans a laser beam over a scan path, a photodetector that detects light reflected from the object's surface, and a processor adapted to process detector signals from the photodetector to determine a two-dimensional (2D) surface shape representation and a three-dimensional (3D) surface shape profile representation. The system includes a mirror(s) configured to direct the scanned laser beam to one or more portions of the object surface that cannot be directly irradiated by the laser, and that allows the photodetector to detect light reflected from the one or more hidden portions via the mirror(s). The laser scanning measurement system is able to measure, in a single laser beam scan, some or all of the hidden portion(s) of an object rather having to rotate the object or having to use multiple scanned laser beams or multiple scanning systems. | 10-28-2010 |

20110116704 | High-Resolution Large-Field Scanning Inspection System For Extruded Ceramic Honeycomb Structures - A high-resolution, large-field scanning inspection system for inspecting extruded ceramic honeycomb structures is disclosed. The system allows for inspecting cells at an endface of a cellular ceramic substrate by capturing, along an optical axis, line images of illuminated cells as a line illumination scans over at least a portion of the plurality of cells. The inspection method includes centering the line illumination on the optical axis to make the line illumination normally incident upon the endface. The inspection method also includes forming from the line images a composite image of the cells, and determining from the composite image at least one parameter of at least one cell. | 05-19-2011 |
