Abstract
An inspection system includes a scanner and a computing device. The scanner is configured to scan an inner surface of a hole in an object. The scanner is configured to generate a plurality of images. Each one of the images represents one of a plurality of sections of the inner surface of the hole. The computing device is coupled to the scanner to receive the plurality of images. The computing device is programmed to combine the plurality of images to form an image. The image represents the inner surface of the hole. The computing device is programmed to evaluate a surface characteristic of the inner surface based on pixel-intensity values of the image.
