Record 2 2023-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

Machine learning is reinventing computer vision inspection on the assembly line.... In many factories, inspecting units involves laying down a transparency with physically-drawn lines onto a computer screen, and having a human operator attempt to tell if the unit falls within these guidelines. Traditional computer vision automates and improves upon this process by relying on a "list" of human-constructed rules for it to check and follow.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Automatisation et applications
CONT

Au cours des années, l'intérêt pour l'inspection augmente aussi bien au sein des laboratoires de recherche que dans le milieu industriel. Au début de l'inspection par vision artificielle, les approches 2D [bidimensionnelles] étaient privilégiées en raison de la faible puissance des calculateurs. Malgré cela, ces approches 2D ont pu faire leurs preuves.

[The] amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive(AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 and A340 series airplanes that requires, among other actions, a detailed inspection of the rudder travel limitation unit for proper adjustment, measurement of the desynchronization of rudder servo-controls, installation of rigging placards for rudder servo-controls, and follow-on and corrective actions if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent desynchronization of the rudder servo-controls, which could result in high load factors on the rudder servo-controls, and consequent reduced structural integrity of the attachment fittings for the rudder servo-controls.
