• [P476] Examining Gyroscopes for 3-D Position Tracking in a Non-Destructive Evaluation System
  Author(s): Ray Bachnak
  
  

  Abstract
  This paper describes the use of gyroscope to provide three-dimensional data acquisition capabilities to an eddy current prototype that combines positional and eddy-current data to produce a C-scan of tested material. The preliminary system consists of an eddy current probe, a position tracking mechanism, and basic data visualization capability. Gyroscopes are used to ..... Test results of the prototype are presented and briefly discussed.
