Multi-segment measurement feature of the Mentor Visual iQ+ VideoProbe
In this article:
- Learn how the multi‑segment measurement feature on the Mentor Visual iQ+ VideoProbe accurately measures total length along curved or irregular defects using multiple 3D cursors—ideal for complex cracks and uneven surfaces.
- See practical inspection use cases, including tracking crack propagation paths and measuring curved surface damage where single‑line measurements fall short in remote visual inspection (RVI).
- Get best‑practice tips to improve measurement accuracy, such as optimizing cursor spacing and validating point cloud data to reduce 3D noise and ensure reliable inspection results.
What is the multi-segment measurement feature of the Mentor Visual iQ+ VideoProbe?
Measures the total length along a curved or jagged path using multiple cursors placed along the path of the indication.
Example Applications:
- Total travel path of a complex crack
- Total length along a curved surface
Best Practices to Improve Measurement Accuracy:
- Check the point cloud to ensure accurate cursor placement.
- Space your cursors as far apart as possible while following the path of the indication to minimize the effect of 3D data noise on the result.
