Abstract:This paper presents a method for improved analysis of objects with an axial symmetry using X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). A cylindrical coordinate system about an axis fixed to the object's center of symmetry forms the most natural base to analyze characteristics of those objects that exhibit axial symmetry, as is often the case for industrial parts. As the sampling grid in the proposed methodology is chosen in reference to the object, down-sampling may be applied in directions where no good resolution is req… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
