Electro-Optical Cavity Inspection System.

Abstract

This is an automatic inspection system that checks the interior surface of artillery projectiles for defects. A TV camera and wide angle lens on a probe obtain a video image which is processed in electronic logic for an automatic Accept / Reject decision. A TV monitor is also available permitting an operator to view the picture. The ARRADCOM effort was to determine the system's ability to detect real defects using good and bad shells. After all adjustments were optimized, a problem surfaced, namely continuous Reject signals which rejected all shells whether good or bad. It was determined unfeasible to correct the problem due to costs and time required and the obsolescence of the opto-electronic sub-system. The project was therefore terminated.
