Abstract

Quality standards in industry require highly rapid and reliable inspection tools to optimize the production. In this article, a tomographic technique for defect inspection of manufactures is presented. Previous knowledge of the geometry of the inspected objects is used to shorten the inspection time. The location and dimension of internal defects can be determined rapidly from a few projections, providing valuable data for quality control.
