A Step Forward in Manual Welding: Demonstration of Augmented Reality Helmet
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new welding helmet for the manual welding process has been developed. The welders working conditions are improved by augmenting the visual information before and during welding. The image is improved providing a better view of the working area. An online quality assistant is available during welding, suggesting the correction of the guns position or pointing out welding errors, by analyzing the electrical welding parameters. An assembly advisor will suggest the assembly sequence, by displaying the type and the position of the following piece into the actual ensemble. In addition, an available online documentation of the welding process gives an opportunity to reduce the effort of post process quality assurance which often uses expensive x-ray investigations.

TEREBES: Welding Helmet with AR capabilities
An Augmented Reality (AR) system integrated in a new developed welding helmet improves the conditions for manual welding. The scene is acquired by a stereoscopic High Dynamic Range CMOS (HDRC) camera system that allows the observance of the welding arc and the environment simultaneously. By image processing, the scene will be enhanced and displayed on a video see through Head Mounted Display (H...
متن کاملVirtual and Augmented Reality for Quality Improvement of Manual Welds
The large problem to create manual welds of constant high quality results from missing optical information during the actual welding process. Due to the extreme brightness conditions e.g. in arc welding and the use of protective glasses even experienced welders can hardly recognize details of the welding pool, the welding seam and the environment. This paper describes a new research project for...
