Abstract
Triangulation-based, 3-D method and system for imaging a part are provided. The system includes an enclosure and a plurality of angularly-spaced, triangulation-based, sensor heads. Each of the sensor heads is configured to generate focused lines of radiation and to sense corresponding reflected lines of radiation. The sensor heads simultaneously sense their corresponding reflected lines to obtain corresponding 2-D profile signals. A linear actuator linearly moves the enclosure and the sensor heads in unison along the length of the part to obtain corresponding sets of 2-D profile signals. Each set of profile signals represents a 3-D view of one of the exterior side surfaces of the part and the sets of 2-D profile signals represent a 360° panoramic composite 3-D view of the outer peripheral surface of the part.
