Novel Method For Structured Light System Calibration, Song Zhang, Peisen S. Huang

System calibration, which usually involves complicated and time-consuming procedures, is crucial for any 3-D shape measurement system. In this work, a novel systematic method is proposed for accurate and quick calibration of a 3-D shape measurement system we developed based on a structured light technique. The key concept is to enable the projector to “capture” images like a camera, thus making the calibration of a projector the same as that of a camera. With this new concept, the calibration of structured light systems becomes essentially the same as the calibration of traditional stereovision systems, which is well established. The calibration …

This paper reviews recent developments in the Weibull stress model for prediction of cleavage fracture in ferritic steels. The procedure to calibrate the Weibull stress parameters builds upon the toughness scaling model between two crack configurations having different constraint levels and eliminates the recently discovered non-uniqueness that arises in calibrations using only fracture toughness data obtained under small scale yielding (SSY) conditions. The introduction of a non-zero threshold value for Weibull stress in the expression for cumulative failure probability is consistent with the experimental observations that there exists a minimum toughness value for cleavage fracture in ferritic steels, and brings …
