An image engineering system for the inspection of transparent construction materials

ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2009
Abstract This article presents a modular photogrammetric recording and image analysis system for inspecting the material characteristics of transparent foils, in particular Ethylen–TetraFluorEthylen-Copolymer (ETFE) foils. The foils are put under increasing air pressure and are observed by a stereo camera system.
