Abstract: The project pursues the research topic of determining the boundaries of mediums of different density in industrial radiography and industrial computed tomography for the purpose of precise volume determination. The aim of the project is to develop a method (research stage) and a system (implementation stage) that constitute a solution that enables accurate measurement of the shape and determination of the volume of closed objects based on the use of industrial PR and CT in the automatic process supported by computer vision methods. The product of the project will be a dedicated web application that enables the prediction of the volume of ionization chambers and aerosol cans. The project is used in scientific research and industry, enabling the analysis of the shape of the components of objects that is not possible with traditional measurement methods. The planned research and development works are interdisciplinary in nature and concern mechanical and materials engineering, technical information technology, advanced analytics, and automation (the main scientific discipline: mechanical engineering). The most important features and functionalities of the designed measurement method and application will include, among others: the ability to perform scans of objects to obtain image data, automatic or semiautomatic extraction and segmentation of objects in images, accurate measurement of the volume of three-dimensional objects, shape analysis functions, presentation of three-dimensional reconstructions of objects in to better understand their structure, the ability to handle large amounts of data, the ability to integrate with other tools and systems, such as databases, data management systems, or data visualisation systems. The scope of the planned R&D works assumes that the project results will be commercialised in the area of production engineering. The result of the project will be the implementation of modern and innovative metrological solutions using advanced imaging techniques and artificial intelligence.
