Methods and systems for determining part wear using a bounding model
A method for determining part wear, such as using a wear metric, includes receiving, from a sensor, sensor data representing a surface of a wear part. The method further includes determining distances between measured points in the sensor data and points on one or more part models, which part models may include new part models and/or worn or wear limit part models. The method further includes using a bounding model that at least partially envelopes the part model(s) and the measured points to determine a direction along which the distances are measured. The method may also include quantifying wear using the measured distances.
1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to performs acts comprising:
receiving information about a surface of a part;
generating, based at least in part on the information, a first model of the part;
comparing the first model to:
a second model including information about a surface of an unworn part corresponding to the part,
a third model including information about a surface of a wear limit part corresponding to the part, and
a fourth model associated with a bounding surface at least partially enveloping the first model, the second model, and the third model; and
determining, based on the comparing, a wear metric associated with the part.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the comparing comprises:
determining, for a plurality of points on the surface of the part, at least one of a first distance between a respective point of the plurality of points and the surface of the unworn part along a direction from the bounding surface and through the respective point or a second distance between the respective point and the surface of the worn part along the direction,
wherein the wear metric is based at least in part on the at least one of the first distance or the second distance.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the wear metric is a wear percentage based at least in part on a ratio of the at least one of the first distance or the second distance to a third distance that is the sum of the first distance and the second distance.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the direction is normal to the bounding surface.
5. The system of claim 1 , the acts further comprising:
generating display data associated with a graphical representation of the part and a visual representation of the wear metric; and
providing the graphical representation of the part and the visual representation to a display device for display.
