barrel bore, technical diagnostics, technical condition, barrel bore defect, geometric characteristics, information processing methodAbstract
An approach to the technical diagnostics of firearm barrel bores based on determining their geometric characteristics is considered. The approach relies on the use of laser triangulation methods and tools. The form and features of presenting measurement information generated from the results of laser scanning of the barrel bore are described.
A method for processing measurement information on the geometric characteristics of firearm barrel bores is proposed, which ensures automated determination of the type, dimensions, and spatial location of barrel bore defects. A detailed description of the key operations of the method and the specifics of its application for the technical diagnostics of smoothbore and rifled barrels is provided.
