CA 2651492

The present invention relates to a method of monitoring the condition of structural components, in which an optical sensor in conjunction with a computing unit ascertains image deviations from successive images of the structural components to be monitored, and therefrom ascertains changes in shape of the structure. Robust three-dimensional scanning of the structural components is possible when using two or more sensors. The invention further relates to an apparatus for monitoring the condition of structural components having an optical sensor and an apparatus having two or more sensors. Finally the invention relates to an aircraft in which the methods or apparatuses according to the invention are used.

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de surveiller la condition d'éléments de structure, un capteur optique en association avec une unité de calcul identifiant les écarts d'images à partir d'images successives des éléments de structure devant être surveillés, et identifiant à partir de ces écarts d'images les changements de forme de la structure. Un balayage tridimensionnel robuste des éléments de structure est possible lorsque deux capteurs ou plus sont utilisés. L'invention se rapporte en outre à un appareil permettant de surveiller la condition d'éléments de structure muni d'un capteur optique et à un appareil muni de deux capteurs ou plus. Enfin, l'invention se rapporte à un avion dans lequel les procédés ou les appareils selon l'invention sont utilisés.
