Abstract: The invention relates to an image enhancement device comprising an image recording device, configured to register a series of subsequent images of a particular object, whereby each image includes a matrix of pixels, each pixel representing a particular image content, a processing unit configured to execute de-noising operations to reduce noise in said series of subsequent images, and a screen. The noise is reduced by identifying at least one pixel of noise in an image, removing the image content of said pixel from the image and substituting said removed image content with replacement image content derived by overlapping the images of the series of subsequent images. Further, the processing unit is configured to overlap images by integrating replacement image content from a second image into a first image from which the image content has been removed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus for detecting defects in a test object in a liquid filled space. The inspection apparatus comprises an inspection body, a camera and vertical positioning equipment adapted to adjust the position of the camera in a vertical direction. The vertical positioning equipment comprises an elongated element having a vertical portion, a fastening member adapted to attach the detection device to the vertical portion, a vertical drive mechanism adapted to provide a motion of the vertical portion of the elongated element such that it moves the detection device to a desired vertical position along a vertical axis. The vertical portion of the elongated element has the property of being torsion rigid about the vertical axis.
