Automated Detection of Cavities Present in the High Explosive Filler of Artillery Shells

  • Conference paper
Nondestructive Evaluation of Materials

Abstract

Initial research has been conducted into the use of digital image analysis techniques for automated detection and characterization of piping cavities present in the high explosive (HE) filler region of 105-mm artillery shells. Experimental work utilizing scene segmentation techniques followed by a sequential similarity detection algorithm for cavitation detection have yielded promising initial results. A description of this work is shown with examples of computer-detected defects.
