简介:Aconoscopicholography-based3Dmeasurementsystemforanalyzingthedefectsonthesurfaceofsteelplateswasintroducedinthispaper.Thehardware,whichisautomatedthroughsoftware,performssamplingofthesteelplatesurface.Throughthesoftwareinterface,point-clouddataofthesteelplatesurfaceareobtainedandreconstructedtoforma3Dimageofthesteelplatesurface.Thesoftwareallowsautomaticanalysisofsteelplatesurfacedefectsthroughidentificationofthebulgesanddepressions.Inaddition,thesoftwarecanalsoautomaticallycalculatethedefectinformation,suchasthedeepestpoint,volume,openingarea,openinglength,andsoon,therebydeterminingthedefectsize.Theresultsdeterminedbythis3Dmeasurementsystemwerefoundtobeingoodagreementwiththeactualvalues.
