    Waygate Technologies has developed the ability to detect, track and count specific “points of interest” such as aerofoil Leading or Trailing Edges. It can be even leveraged to count within scenes such as blade roots. It is not limited to gas-washed surfaces only.
  • Page 26 Warning: Analytic applications are intended to assist the user whilst performing in-situ visual inspections. Results will vary depending on your application and the method employed during setup. You, the user, are responsible for following the appropriate procedures and standards. Waygate Technologies cannot be held responsible for the accuracy and outcome of any inspections.

  • Page 60 Measurement Plane (3D Phase and 3D Stereo) A Measurement Plane is not a standalone measurement type and gives no result. When used with specific measurement types, the Measurement Plane allows cursor placement in red areas where no 3D data is present or where noise in the 3D data may reduce measurement accuracy. Once placed, a Measurement Plane establishes a 3D plane aligned with a flat area on the surface of the viewed object.

  • Page 63: Phase Measurements (3Dpm)

    3D Phase Measurements (3DPM) 3D Phase Measurement OTA's include an LED based structured light projection system that allows the MViQ to produce a three-dimensional surface scan of the object. Measurements are then made directly on the surface and displayed on the image. Preliminary steps of matching cursors or marking shadow lines are not necessary. Maximum Target Distance - MTD Number The 3D Phase Measurement system will display a number on-screen after a measurement is complete.
  • Page 64 3D Phase Measurement Procedure – When the target is in position, select the soft key (or long hold ). The 3D Phase Measurement scan will begin. Note: Keep the probe still during the PM surface scan, typically 1 second. Multiple images are taken to complete the scan, and the probe must be held still during this sequence.
  • Page 65 Making 3DPM Measurements (Depth Profile Example) Note: While the following procedure applies specifically to a Depth Profile measurement, refer to this procedure and the information in the section titled Types of 3D Measurement to conduct any type of 3DPM. – To create a Depth Profile measurement, place the first and second cursors on a flat surface on opposite sides of the area of interest. This procedure is described in a following section.

  • Page 66: 3D Stereo Measurements

    3D Stereo Measurements Stereo measurements require the use of StereoProbe measurement OTA's to capture stereoscopic images of a target. 3D Stereo and Stereo both utilize the same Stereo OTA's, which provide two images of the same scene from slightly different perspectives. They both rely on triangulation and the matching of surface points in both images to determine 3D coordinates used for measurement.

Stereo measurements require the use of StereoProbe measurement OTA's to capture stereoscopic images of a target — two pictures of the same target from two different angles.
  • Page 71 About the Matching Cursors For each cursor you place on the left image during stereo measurement, the system places a matching cursor on the right image for use in triangulation. You must place each left cursor on an image point (a pixel) that has sufficient surrounding detail to differentiate it from its neighboring pixels.
