Borescopes facilitate the inspection of areas inside machines and systems that are not directly accessible for visual inspection. They offer real-time, up-close access to confined and hard-to-access spaces without having to dismantle or destructure the object under inspection. Borescopes are ideal instruments for routine maintenance, quality inspection and monitoring of systems and structures. The main application being fault or defect detection, it is useful to have measuring capability to quantify object dimensions in a target area. High-end borescopes use multi-optic solutions to provide measurement information of viewed objects. Multi-optic solutions can provide accurate measurements at the expense of structural complexity and cost increase. Measuring functionality is often unavailable in low-end, single camera borescopes. In this paper, a single camera measurement solution that enables the size estimation of viewed objects is proposed. The proposed solution computes and overlays a scaled grid of known spacing value over the screen view, enabling the human inspector to estimate the size of the objects in view. The proposed method provides a simple means of measurement that is applicable to low-end borescopes with no built-in measurement capability.

중속 디젤 엔진에 적용된 연료 펌프의 스필 포트 및 플런저 벽면에서 발생하는 캐비테이션 손상 원인을 규명하기 위해, 연료 펌프의 스필 포트 내부에서 일어나는 캐비테이션 유동 현상에 대한 가시화를 수행 하였다. 이를 위해 기존 연료 펌프를 개조하여 사파이어 가시창을 제작, 설치하고, 고속 카메라와 Nd-YAG 레이져 및 산업용 내시경을 이용한 다양한 가시화 방법을 모색하였다. 취득한 영상의 분석 결과 연료의 분사 과정 동안 네 가지 형태의 특징적인 캐비테이션 현상이 목격되며, 특히 연료 압송 과정의 종료 직전과 직후 에서 발생하는 분수 형태와 제트 형태의 캐비테이션이 손상의 지배적인 원인으로 판명되었다.

Growing international concern about environmental issues in recent years has led to new proposals for strengthening exhaust emission standards and fuel economy requirements throughout the world. The low emission vehicle(LEV) standards drawn up by the California Air Resources Board(CARB) in the U.S.A are noticeably stringent To cope with this regulation, a reduction of HC emission is the most important challenge for the automotive industry because HC emission levels are severer than any other components emission levels. In this paper, the apparatus for visulalizing the wall film flow in a intake manifold and the spark plug with optical fiber for detecting the signal from diffusion flame are developed to mal,e the HC formation mechanism clear. High speed camera system is also used to elucidate the correlation wall film flow and the diffusion flame. Using these methods, the effect of fuel injection systems such as injection direction, spray angle, atomised injection on HC emission levels is investigated. Consequently, the optimal fuel injection conditions for minimizing the wall film flow and reducing the HC emission are found through this research.
