Research
The aim of the WLIBoro project is to integrate the measurement method of white light interferometry into a borescope and to support the inspection process of aircraft engines. The technology to be developed makes it possible to detect surface changes in the nanometre range. Highly stressed areas of a gas turbine in particular, such as the blading of the high-pressure compressor, must be regularly inspected and assessed. Recognising damage in these areas at an early stage and classifying it correctly is of central importance for the safe operation of engines.
As a close research partner, the IFPT is working with IT Concepts to develop the software components required to create complete depth maps from individual sensor images and to enable automated damage assessment using AI applications. The IFPT's central research activities can be narrowed down to the following points:
- Sensor data acquisition of the white light interferometer
- Processing individual measured values and the subsequent combination to form complete depth maps
- Evaluation of the image material and automated damage assessment using AI applications
