Radial metrology combines an optical measurement technique with fiber optics and a unique lens system to study material properties and deformations on the inner surfaces of the cavities found, for example, inside pipes, tubes, and boreholes. The equations considered in designing and testing a prototype for profiling are described along with tests conducted to demonstrate proof of principle. Digital image acquisition and processing techniques are used to interpret various features appearing in the images and to transform images for improved human viewing. |
