  • Patent number: 9989486
    Abstract: A method for induction thermography includes acquiring a plurality of images or an object at each of a plurality of imaging directions, and deriving a combined Fourier-transformed image from the images taken at different imaging directions to detect defects in the object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 5, 2018
    Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

  • Patent number: 9927232
    Abstract: In order to support an inspecting person in a method for the manual non-destructive inspection of a test object, a detection device is provided for detecting three-dimensional surface coordinates of a region to be inspected on the test object and for continuously determining positions and speeds of an inspecting tool relative to the test object Discrete position values and speed values of the inspecting tool for the respective measurement time points are stored by a storage device. A computing device determines the share of an already inspected region in relation to the total region of the test object to be inspected. The method and device can be used for manual inspection of test objects having a plurality of different shapes. The inspecting person is effectively relieved and the process for the non-destructive inspection is documented in order to guarantee a complete inspection.

  • Publication number: 20150134273
    Abstract: Non-destructive material examination of a test part by scanning induction thermography improves upon the quality of a manual measurement by an inspecting person. Recorded infrared images undergo evaluation and references corresponding to the evaluation are projected onto the test piece for an inspecting person.

  • Publication number: 20140313324
    Abstract: Active thermography is used for evaluating a moving test object by detecting a test image of a test object and ascertaining a position of the test object in three-dimensional space. A thermographic test image is adapted with respect to the test image perspective and position and is congruently projected onto the test object.

  • Publication number: 20140249689
    Abstract: A test specimen, on which control functions and/or thermographic measuring results are projected, undergoes a thermographic measuring process using at least one depth sensor. Actuation of the thermographic measuring procedure takes place subject to the sensor-captured body gestures. Specifically, body gestures of a user select the control functions and/or recording of the thermographic measuring results.
