Abstract

The present development is a method for the visualization and automatic examination of the inner surface of tubular objects. The method uses a virtual camera rig arranged in a specific pattern within the tubular objects inner surface. The rig can be physical or virtual or hypothetical; graphics-based, providing the same functionality of a sequence of virtual cameras. This 'Fly-In' method is a more general visualization technique than techniques of the prior art, it is more flexible and does not create distortion, it does not require alternation to the surface for viewing and it can handle multi-branches with variable diameter. It can also provide a clear assessment of the inner surface for immediate examination of the object.
