    Photogrammetry Scanning & Inspection of A Nozzle Guide Vane

    Uploaded by

    Suresh Gujjar
    A damaged nozzle guide vane from a Boeing 737 jet engine was scanned using photogrammetry. Over 30 photos were taken from various angles using a Gom scanner and targets placed on the part. The photos were aligned in software to create a 3D point cloud and mesh. The scan data was aligned to CAD and measurements were extracted to compare dimensions and create a deviation report.

    Photogrammetry Scanning & Inspection of a Nozzle Guide Vane

    3D Scanners were required to carry out inspection


    analysis on a damaged Pratt & Witney nozzle guide
    vane from a Boeing 737-200 jet plane.

    Photogrammetry
    A Gom Triple Scan photogrammetry blue light
    system was used to capture the part. The
    Photogrammetry system first requires targets to be
    placed in specific places which are specified on the
    original cad drawings. Once the targets had been Photographs showing the Gom scanning the NGV.
    placed, photographs are taken from many different
    angles. In this case the engineer took 38
    photographs, but it is the angle of the photographs
    which is important rather than the amount taken.
    The distribution of the targets is crucial because
    each photo needs at least 5 common targets to be
    aligned in the co ordinate system.

    The photographs are automatically imported into


    the software and aligned for photogrammetry.
    A scan of the front & back of the NGV is taken using
    the Gom system. This is aligned together to provide
    one single 3d point cloud which is then aligned
    together within the software.
    Photograph above shows the NGV scan on the monitor
    in the lab.

    A polygon mesh is produced which can then be


    used for deviation analysis.....
