ANALYSIS OF AN RGBD CAMERA FOR MANHOLE INSPECTION
As the service life of ducts and manholes reaches their end, there is a growing need
to preserve the structures. In order to prevent casualties and service interruption,
more frequent inspections are advised. To this day most of the inspections are still,
manually made. These inspectors need to be highly qualified, and the inspections
are done in an hazardous environment so, automating the inspection process would
lead to a healthier workplace. Given the recent development in RGBD cameras, with
smaller size factor, cost, and weight, this project aims to evaluate the application of
one of the more recent models in a manhole inspection environment. Several analysis
are done to assess the RGBD sensor performance for 3D model reconstruction,
including the comparison with a ground-truth 3D model obtained using a laser
point profile sensor with an industrial robot
Translating Data into Images: The Design Process for the Creation of Visualizations
The design process is a series of endeavors aimed to solve a problem, which is extensively defined as a need, a task, a situation, etc. Visualizations are objects that result from a design process that solves a problem of unreadable data. They are technical mediators that transform data in graphics through a precise authorship that defines their social and political context. One way to understand visualizations is to analyze the process of design: this approach, applied to a case study called Affinity Map, unveils the complexity of an object and reveals the reasons of its creation
Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on NDE in Relation to Structural Integrity for Nuclear and Pressurized Components
This conference, the tenth in a series on NDE in relation to structural integrity for nuclear and pressurized components, was held from 1st October to 3 October 2013, in Cannes, France. The scientific programme was co-produced by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, Institute for Energy and Transport (EC-JRC/IET). The Conference has been coordinated by the Confédération Française pour les Essais Non Destructifs (COFREND). The first conference, under the sole responsibility of EC-JRC was held in Amsterdam, 20-22 October 1998. The second conference was locally organized by the EPRI NDE Center in New Orleans, 24-26 May 2000, the third one by Tecnatom in Seville, 14-16 November 2001, the fourth one by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing in London, 6-8 December 2004, the fifth by EPRI in San Diego, 10-12 May 2006, the sixth by Marovisz in Budapest, 8-10 October 2007, the seventh by the University of Tokyo and JAPEIC in Yokohama, the eight by DGZfP, 29 September to 1st October 2010, the ninth by Epri NDE Center, 22-24 May 2012 in Seattle.
The theme of this conference series is to provide the link between the information originated by NDE and the use made of this information in assessing structural integrity. In this context, there is often a need to determine NDE performance against structural integrity requirements through a process of qualification or performance demonstration. There is also a need to develop NDE to address shortcomings revealed by such performance demonstration or otherwise. Finally, the links between NDE and structural integrity require strengthening in many areas so that NDE is focussed on the components at greatest risk and provides the precise information required for assessment of integrity. These were the issues addressed by the papers selected for the conference.JRC.F.5-Nuclear Reactor Safety Assessmen
