Study on Weld Seam Modeling for Remote Welding

Abstract

This paper studies the dynamic modeling of weld seam by using the laser vision sensor in virtual environment (VE). By introducing virtual guide (VG), lowering operative difficulty and showing high security can be obtained. Template matching is used to recognize remote weld seam, and the uniform contour of V is defined to represent the features of remote seam. Cubic spline interpolation is employed to construct the continuous model of the seam.
