The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for measuring submerged surfaces. Embodiments include a measurement apparatus including a main frame, a source positioned outside a pipe and connected to the main frame, and a detector positioned outside the pipe at a location diametrically opposite the source and connected to the main frame. The source may transmit a first amount of radiation. The detector may receive a second amount of radiation, determine a composition of the pipe based on the first and second amounts of radiation, and send at least one measurement signal. A control canister positioned on the main frame or on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) attached to the apparatus may receive the at least one measurement signal from the detector and convey the at least one measurement signal to software located topside.

A vehicle inspection method and system are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes acquiring a transmission image of an inspected vehicle. The method further includes acquiring a transmission image template of a vehicle model corresponding to the model of the inspected vehicle from a database. The method further includes performing registration on the transmission image of the inspected vehicle and the transmission image template. The method further includes determining a difference between a transmission image after the registration and a transmission image template after the registration, to obtain a difference area of the transmission image of the vehicle relative to the transmission image template. The method further includes processing the difference area to determine whether the vehicle carries a suspicious object or not. In some embodiments, this solution can avoid the problems of a detection loophole and a poor effect of manually determining an image in a conventional manner, and is important to assist the security inspection for small vehicles.

The present disclosure provides a system and method for inspecting an aircraft. An X-ray/Gamma ray radiation source and a detector are located at above and below a fuselage of an aircraft, respectively. The X-ray/Gamma ray radiation source emits a beam of radiation[ ], wherein the X-ray/Gamma ray radiation[ ] passes through the aircraft to be inspected. The detector receives and converts the beam of X-ray/Gamma ray radiation[ ] that has passed through the aircraft to an output signal, and the system generates a vertical transmission image in real time.

There is provided a method for inspecting and measuring one or more installed one-sided fasteners in a structure. The method includes positioning an X-ray imaging system at a first side of the structure at a location of the one or more installed one-sided fasteners. The method further includes emitting X-rays at the first side of the structure, detecting backscatter from the one or more installed one-sided fasteners, and generating image data from the X-ray imaging system in response to detecting the backscatter. The method further includes measuring and analyzing the image data, with an image processing system, to obtain one or more measurements of one or more dimensions of the one or more installed one-sided fasteners. The method further includes using the image data to inspect the one or more installed one-sided fasteners, and to detect any inconsistencies in the one or more measurements of the one or more dimensions.
