REMOTE INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT WITH TELEVISION

OSTI ID:4307082
A preliminary experiment was performed in the use of closed-circuit black and white television to inspect aircraft. Television equipment was used to evaluate the effect of lighting, camera position, and lenses on the inspection problem. An industrial closed circuit televi-sion system was set up at a B-47 airplane. The time required and the accuracles obtained were compared between normal (direct visual) inspections of certain items and remote inspections made with television equipment. The effectiveness of television inspection was studied in a series of experimental set-ups. For each set-up, the interrelationships of the factors which influence picture quality were studied. A detailed analysis is presented of optical phenomena and television equipment characteristics. Subjects treated include depth of field, resolution, video bandwidth, lens systems, and lighting. The experiment shows that remote inspection of aircraft with television is feasible. Results indicate that off- the-shelf type television components can be obtained which are satisfactory for this application. Only such items as the lighting equipment and the camera boom and dolly will have to be of special design. (auth)
