Abstract

We report on the development of techniques for imaging the interior of a volume of low density polyethylene. Images are acquired using both near infrared and visible illumination and inexpensive silicon-based CCDs. An application, using these techniques is currently being developed for the inspection of high reliability undersea seals. The system is capable of imaging flaws that are smaller than 1/1000 inch. In addition to image acquisition, the system supports database and image processing functions. Remote manipulation of camera and part positioning is also provided.
