Digital holographic profilometry using multiwavelength from two laser diodes is applied to the measurement of the inner surface of a straight copper pipe and the detection of artificial defects such as holes, rust, and scratches made on the inner wall. To obtain the inner surface profile, a cone-shaped mirror (CSM) attached to a metal rod having two acrylic spacers is inserted into the pipe and illuminated by the collimated laser beam from the other open end of the pipe. The inspection of the pipe has been performed by shifting the CSM stepwise along the pipe axis. The new algorithm in which a positional misalignment of the CSM can be directly obtained from the experimental height profile can reduce the load for calculation of correcting the distorted experimental height profile. The pipe inspection has been done using the developed images of both the intensity and height profile for the inner wall of the pipe.
Digital holographic profilometry using multiwavelength from laser diodes is applied to an inspection of inner surface of straight copper pipe and the detection of artificial defects such as a hole, rust and a scratch in its wall. To obtain the inner surface profile, a cone-shaped mirror attached to a rod having two acrylic spacers is inserted into the pipe and illuminated by the collimated laser beam from the other open end of the pipe. The measurement has been performed by shifting the mirror stepwise along the pipe. Distribution of an optical path length in the alignment is calculated and used to compensate for a distortion in the profile due to a positional misalignment of the mirror. The new algorithm to obtain the positional error is adopted for the compensation process and the shape and positions of defects in the inner wall can be investigated.
