Immersive Technologies for Rapid Metallic Tank Inspection and Repairs

金属储罐储存着一些最危险的化学物质，随着时间的推移，这些化学物质会侵蚀储罐的内部结构。检查储罐的完整性是防止灾难发生的关键。NDE解决方案使用快速运动扫描仪(RMS)扫描集装箱内表面，而集装箱内仍然装满了储存材料。这个项目的目的是使用增强现实，将RMS提供的扫描覆盖到工人的坦克视图上，通过控制机器人。手势，并促进远程培训/指导。结果将使检查人员能够快速准确地定位严重故障的位置，而不需要执行危险的内部储罐检查程序。

Metal tank silos house some of the most dangerous chemicals, which erode the internal structure of the tank over time. It is critical to check the integrity of the tank to prevent disasters from occurring. NDE solutions uses a rapid motion scanner (RMS) to scan the interior surface of the container while it is still full of its storage material. It is the aim of this project to use Augmented Reality, to overlay the scan provided by the RMS, onto the worker's view of the tank, control the robot via. hand gestures, and facilitate remote training/guidance. The result will allow for inspection workers to quickly and accurately the location of critical failures, without performing the hazardous procedures of internal tank inspection.
