Accelerating Drone Inspection System Development
Challenge: Traditional development of robotic X-ray systems is hampered by costly, time-consuming, and hazardous physical prototypes and experimental testing. Motion blur's impact is often unknown until late stages.
Solution: The X-ray simulator allows early-stage design optimization by predicting motion blur sensitivity, generating synthetic training data for deblurring algorithms, and evaluating performance limits without physical prototypes.
Outcome: Reduced development cycles, lower costs, enhanced safety, and improved image quality for autonomous drone-based wind turbine inspections. Crucially, the simulator aids in pinpointing critical DOFs that affect image quality, informing controller design.
