Video Bore Inspection System (VBIS) for 155mm Cannons Specification

Description

Video Bore Inspection System (VBIS) for 155mm Cannons Specification The Video Bore Inspection System (VBIS) is intended to be used with existing government-owned Laser Bore Inspection System (LBIS) measurement equipment. The initial delivery shall be a prototype that enables at a minimum, inspection of the full bore length of 155mm cannons. Deliverables shall be followingAll hardware and software required to operate the prototype shall be delivered to YPG, including at a minimum:1. One prototype 155mm Bore Camera Scanner VBIS Camera Unit with side-facing and down-bore cameras2. One custom umbilical cable with 48 V PoE power3. One upgrade to government-owned Self-Propelled Sensor Delivery Unit, including 20TB hard drive storage and a workspace for operating the VBIS on existing government-owned LP-6000 instruments4. A report summarizing camera performance, plus a description of recommended improvements and any required changes to add VBIS compatibility for 105mm and 120mm cannon bores and chambers, and rigid delivery stages.Camera Unit? High-resolution Side-facing Camera. This camera shall have a resolution of 12MPixels or better, focused on the bore surface with a surface field of view of approximately 30 degrees, with adjustable resolution for still images and video. The camera should support 1080p video at 11 frames per second, and full resolution at 6 frames per second. The radial focus range should be at least 3.05 to 3.25 inches (77.5 - 82.5mm)? Down-bore Camera. This camera shall have a resolution of 5MPixels or better, imaging the bore of the tube. The camera should support 1080p video at 52 frames per second and full resolution at 22 frames per second, with a fixed focus and field of view of at least 120 degrees, depending on the lens selected. The lens shall be selected with customer input.? Scanner body. The scanners shall contain a 360? rotating module that contains both cameras. Continuous rotation is not required. ? Centering. The scanner body shall have centering feet for a 155mm bore, to ensure adequate centering of the camera to the side camera in focus throughout the rotation.? Lighting. The scanner body shall include LED lighting that provides visibility of the sidewall for both cameras. The lighting control shall be user-controlled and also turn on automatically during photos or videos.? Camera Connectivity. The Camera Unit allow the user to switch the real-time view between the two cameras. ? Temperature. The operating temperature range should be from 0 to 50?C? Cable. The system shall include a custom cable that connects the self-propelled sensor delivery unit to existing government-owned LP-6000 data acquisition instrument, with a 48V PoE power supply.LP-6000 Upgrade? Data Storage. The system shall be modified to include USB 3.0 storage hard drive (internal or external), with a minimum capacity of 20TB.? LaserViewer Workspace. The system shall include a workspace that includes:? Platform. The software shall operate on existing government-owned LP-6000 instruments.? Axis Setpoints. The user interface shall have the capability to zero the scanner rotary and linear axes.? Camera and Lighting Control. The user shall enable the user to easily switch between camera for views, control the camera resolution, and take pictures and videos.? Motion Control. The user shall be able to move the scanner body at 3 or more different speeds along the length of the bore, with the ability to go to a user-defined axial location.? Image and Video Saving. The software shall enable the user to optionally save images and videos taken with either camera, in a user-defined folder location.? Automated Image Sequence. The software shall have the ability to program a series of images for the side camera, taken at specific rotary and axial spacing. ? File Header. The header of the image and video files shall include the position on both axes, as well as the date and time of the images, barrel caliber/description, barrel serial number, and a customer comment? Real-time Display. The software shall display the real-time image of either camera while also displaying the readout of both axes at the same time. ? Saved File Display. The user shall be able to open any image or video files saved with the camera, while also displaying the header information. Integration and Test? Government-Owned Equipment. YPG will provide one LP-6000 instrument and one 155mm Self-Propelled Delivery Unit for this program.? Equipment Modification. The 155mm Self-Propelled Delivery Unit shall be modified as required to support the LCCS, while maintaining support for existing BEMIS laser profiling equipment.
