Abstract

This paper presents a real time inspection algorithm of fuel pellet surface. The algorithm identifies the different types of surface features of the pellets from sensed data derived from an array of proximity sensors. The algorithm meets the operating requirements in terms of speed and accuracy and can be implemented using relatively simple hardware. The development also includes a sensed data visualization tool which facilitates the analysis of the performance of the algorithm.
