Sealant analysis system

摘要

A method and apparatus for inspecting sealant on an object. First data is generated for a first geometry of a first surface of the object prior to sealing the object. Second data is generated for a second geometry of a second surface of the object after the sealant has been applied to the object. A difference is identified between the first data and the second data. The difference indicates a thickness of the sealant on the object.

1. A method for inspecting sealant on an object, the method comprising:
generating first data for a first geometry of a first surface of the object prior to sealing the object, wherein generating the first data for the first geometry of the first surface of the object comprises using a model of the object in a database in combination with scanning the first surface of the object, wherein portions of the first surface cannot be scanned due to an occlusion caused by a line of sigh obstruction to a portion of the first surface, and wherein data from the model of the object in the database is used to fill in the portions not scanned to generate the first data for the first geometry of the first surface of the object; generating second data for a second geometry of a second surface of the object after the sealant has been applied to the object; and identifying a difference between the first data and the second data to determine a thickness of the sealant on the object.
