  • Patent number: 11535400
    Abstract: A fairing skin repair method based on measured wing data includes fairing skin registration. Data set P1 through denoising and filtering wing point cloud data is reorganized to obtain a key point set P. A histogram feature descriptor in a normal direction of any key point in set P and a skin point cloud data Q is calculated. Euclidean distance between feature descriptors of two points is calculated through K-nearest neighbor algorithm, and points with high similarity are added into a set M. A clustering is performed on set M using a Hough voting algorithm to obtain a local point cloud set P? in set P. The method includes fairing skin repair. The boundary line of the point frame is projected onto Q, and a distance between a projection line on the point cloud and the boundary line is calculated to obtain an amount of skin to be repaired.

  • Patent number: 11504731
    Abstract: A method for automatic glue-spraying of stringers and inspection of glue-spraying quality based on measured data. Three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data of a stringer-skin assembly is collected by 3D laser scanner, and then processed by denoising and sampling. Feature points of an intersection line of a site to be glued of the stringer-skin assembly are extracted by K-means clustering method based on Gaussian mapping, and a minimum spanning tree is constructed based on a set of the extracted feature points. A connected region is established to obtain an initial feature intersection line of the string-skin assembly, which is optimized by random sample consensus algorithm to remove redundant small branch structures to obtain the actual glue-spraying trajectory. The quality of the glue sprayed on the stringer-skin assembly is inspected by line laser to determine positions of the defects, which are then subjected to secondary glue-spraying.
