Abstract
A method and system for detecting defects in a plugged honeycomb structure includes forming a sheet of light having a first color across a first end face of the honeycomb structure, generating a first reflected signal from the sheet of light at a location corresponding to a cell containing a defect in the honeycomb structure, illuminating the first end face with an incident light beam having a second color, generating a second reflected signal from the incident light beam, and capturing an image of the first and second reflected signals. After being detected, the defective cells may then be marked or repaired without relocating the plugged honeycomb structure. Apparatus and methods for marking or repairing the defective cell(s) are described.
