Abstract:
A device for measuring wear is disclosed. The device may receive images associated with a component, and may receive a three-dimensional (3D) model of the component. The device may generate an image point cloud based on the images, and may generate a model point cloud based on the 3D model of the component. The device may perform a first alignment of the image point cloud and the model point cloud to generate first-aligned point clouds, and may perform a second alignment of the first-aligned point clouds to generate second-aligned point clouds. The device may generate 3D mask regions based on the second-aligned point clouds, and may project the 3D mask regions on the images. The device may process the 3D mask regions, projected on the images, to determine reference points in the images, and may determine an amount of wear associated with the component based on the reference points.
