    Abstract

    In last years, optical metrology due to its capability in miniaturization and sensitivity became the primary solution in measurement of complex geometries and fragile pieces. Here, we propose a promising approach to perform highly accurate distance measurements using low-coherence fiber-optic sensors for quality inspection of nozzle orifices in fuel injection systems. In this effort, we develop an adaptive image processing algorithm in MATLAB and install the necessary hardware on a form tester to accelerate and simplify the aligning process. As a result, the repeatability of measurements is one order of magnitude improved while the standard deviation is almost 60% reduced. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
