Abstract: Embodiments regard 3D optical metrology of internal surfaces. Embodiments may include a system having an imaging device to capture multiple images of an internal surface, including a first image that is captured at a first location on an axial path and a second image that is captured at a second location on the axial path, and a transport apparatus to move the imaging device along the axial path. The system further includes a control system that is coupled with the imaging, wherein the control system is to receive the multiple images from the imaging device and to generate a 3D representation of the surface based at least in part on content information and location information for the multiple images.
