An inspection system is provided for the inspection of a lateral surface of a three-dimensional test object. The inspection system includes a conveying structure; (ii) a facet mirror; and (iii) an optical inspection device. In this context, the inspection system is arranged to rotate the conveying structure and the facet mirror in a coordinated manner and in opposite directions of rotation in such a way that each of a plurality of object carriers, as they pass through an inspection area, is imaged onto the inspection device by exactly one of the facets of the facet mirror. A corresponding method for inspection is also provided.

An inspection robot, and methods and a controller thereof are disclosed. An inspection robot may include an inspection chassis including a plurality of inspection sensors and coupled to at least one drive module to drive the robot over an inspection surface. The inspection robot may also include a controller including an inspection data circuit to interpret inspection base data, an inspection processing circuit to determine refined inspection data, and an inspection configuration circuit to determine an inspection response value in response to the refined inspection data. The controller may further include an inspection response circuit to, in response to the inspection response value, provide an inspection command value while the inspection robot is interrogating the inspection surface.

When repairing a road, it is possible to easily conduct a survey on the road condition at the time of starting repair. The ortho-image creation method of the present invention includes a coordinate acquisition step to acquire three-dimensional coordinates of a plurality of survey markers 6, a photography step to photograph a plurality of photographed images of the plurality of survey markers 6 by a UAV 3 flying at an altitude of 20 meters or less above the ground in such a manner that each survey marker 6 is included in at least two of the photographed images, and an ortho-image creation step to create an ortho-image on the basis of the three-dimensional coordinates of each feature point acquired by the coordinate acquisition step and the plurality of photographed images photographed by the photography step.

A method may include measuring a formation sample using a Raman spectrometer to determine a formation sample characteristic, wherein the formation sample characteristic is mineral ID and distribution, carbon ID and distribution, thermal maturity, rock texture, fossil characterization, or combinations thereof.

Systems and methods for capturing measurements of images of an object to be measured using a mobile electronic device are disclosed. A method may include capturing a measurement image of a measured object within an observation region of a camera of the device, displaying a light-emitted image on a screen of the device, causing the screen to successively display multiple illumination images of a predefined illumination image sequence, and causing the screen of the device to display one or more of the illumination images of the predefined illumination images. The predefined illumination image sequence is set via a user interface of the device and a selection between different predefined illumination image sequences is rendered using the user interface. A control unit is configured to select a predefined illumination image sequence between several stored predefined illumination image sequences in dependence on a selection of the measured object of interest and/or a characteristic of interest.

An apparatus for semiconductor manufacturing includes an input port to receive a carrier, wherein the carrier includes a carrier body, a housing installed onto the carrier body, and a filter installed between the carrier body and the housing. The apparatus further includes a first robotic arm to uninstall the housing from the carrier and to reinstall the housing into the carrier; one or more second robotic arms to remove the filter from the carrier and to install a new filter into the carrier; and an output port to release the carrier to production.

Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to projecting light on a surface and analyzing the scattered light to obtain spatial information of the surface and generate a three dimensional model of the surface. The three dimensional model may then be analyzed to calculate one or more surface characteristics, such as roughness. The surface characteristics may then be analyzed to provide a result, such as a diagnosis or a product recommendation. In some examples, a mobile device is used to analyze the surface.
