Abstract
A riveting method that includes riveting a first aircraft part to a second aircraft part. The method includes capturing a plenoptic image of the rivet and at least one of the first part and the second part in the vicinity of the rivet, by a plenoptic imaging device secured to a riveting head, after riveting the first part to the second part. The method includes detecting the positioning and the surface condition of the rivet, from the plenoptic image captured by the imaging device.
Claims13
A riveting method comprising riveting a first aircraft part to a second aircraft part, by means of a riveting system comprising:
- a riveting tooling configured to assemble the first part to the second part by riveting, wherein the riveting tooling comprises a riveting head that is intended to come into contact with the first part and/or the second part, and
- a plenoptic image acquisition device, wherein the plenoptic image acquisition device is secured to the riveting head,
- the riveting method further comprising:
- capturing a plenoptic image of a rivet and of the surroundings of the rivet, by the image acquisition device, after riveting the first part to the second part, and
- detecting the positioning and the surface condition of the rivet, from plenoptic image captured by the image acquisition device.
A riveting system for aircraft, comprising a riveting tooling configured to assemble a first aircraft part to a second aircraft part by riveting, the riveting tooling comprising a riveting head intended to come into contact with the first part and/or the second part,
- wherein the riveting system comprises a plenoptic image acquisition device, configured to capture a plenoptic image of the rivet and the surroundings of the rivet after riveting the first part to the second part by the rivet, wherein the image acquisition device is secured to the riveting head.
