Abstract: Described herein is a method for detecting keypoints in three-dimensional images in which a three-dimensional image of a scene captured by a depth sensing imaging system is processed using a distance-independent keypoint filter. Keypoints are derived from the three-dimensional image by determining a mean shift field and using x- and y-components of the mean shift field to derive intersections of 0-isolines thereof. Positive and negative keypoints or nodes are connected to one another, positive to positive and negative to negative, to form a keygraph structure.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for ultrasonic measurement of the average diameter and surface profile of a tube. A calibration block is used to calibrate the average tube diameter, and a correction is applied to account for any temperature difference of the couplant between calibration and test measurements. By using a linear probe, or a single probe with a finely pitched helicoidal scan, errors in diameter measurement due to presence of surface pits may be compensated.
