Curved path planning based on 3D vision water immersion ultrasonic nondestructive testing

摘要

Abstract Compared with traditional 2D image processing, 3D point cloud processing has become a hot technology in the industry, but there are few researches applied to nondestructive testing of curved workpieces. This article aims at the non-destructive testing of curved workpieces, using 3D point cloud and robotic arm for water immersion ultrasonic non-destructive testing. Aiming at the 3D point cloud with many outliers, using the commonly used filter in two-dimensional images-the guide filter, the algorithm is improved and used for the filtering and downsampling of the 3D point cloud, and the adjustment of the curved surface workpiece and the robot arm's pose is introduced. Finally, the workpiece was scanned by a robotic arm with a water immersion ultrasonic nondestructive testing system to prove the feasibility of the experiment and improve the detection efficiency of traditional nondestructive testing technology.
