A novel method for necking detection and measurement in automotive sheet metal components

Abstract

In this article, a novel necking detection and measurement method for automotive sheet metal components is proposed to detect and measure necking. The proposed method utilizes a point cloud registration-based approach to achieve better defect detection performance in the region of interest. In this method, an efficient registration algorithm called GF-ICP is introduced, which exhibits excellent performance for complex surfaces, such as sheet metal parts. Subsequently, an algorithm called NVP is proposed for defect point cloud detection and extraction, enabling the acquisition of comprehensive necking information. Finally, a necking dimension measurement method, referred to as TM-RDE, is introduced to measure the surface area and depth of necking. Experimental investigations were conducted on two sheet metal components with necking, and comparisons were made with other methods. The results demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness of this proposed method.

Fusion Analyser: a novel measurement method and software tool for dental model analysis in orthodontics

“…However, despite plaster dental casts serving as the gold standard in diagnosis and treatment, the following limitations impede their practicality and effectiveness in modern dentistry: (1) large physical size; (2) susceptibility to damage or loss; (4) challenges in model management; (5) significant production and time costs; and (6) necessity for skilled technicians for fabrication [1,9,16]. In various fields, researchers are dedicated to the development and validation of novel measurement tools and methodologies [24,25,35]. In recent years, rapid advancements in medical digital technology have also significantly transformed traditional orthodontic treatments using high-quality, affordable diagnostic tools [3,5,12,34,36].…”

Semi-supervised method for visual detection of automotive paint defects

“…Manual detection methods are not only inefficient but also susceptible to the influence of human subjective factors, which result in frequent leakage and misdetection and the instability and unreliability of detection results [3]. With the development of machine vision technology, some researchers have begun to study new methods for the automated detection of automotive paint defects [4].…”
