Robotic Fuselage Inspection for Dents and Scratches

Before a fuselage is painted it needs to be inspected for dents and scratches. This is 100% manual today. This student team aimed to investigate a Vision/Laser system if it is on the market or invent a new one to be able to identify and capture images of any surface defamation. Additionally, this student team sought to investigate how a vision system detects defamation on the surface of a fuselage skin. The outcome this student team worked toward is thorough research on vision/laser technology related to fuselage inspection.
