Augmented Reality Workflow for Aircraft Dent & Buckle Inspection
Conventional aircraft Dent & Buckle inspection is a manual and time-intensive task. The CINNABAR project introduces an Augmented Reality (AR) supported workflow. This paper approaches object tracking on Microsoft HoloLens 2 using retro-reflective markers in the infrared light spectrum to detect the aircraft pose and align augmented visualizations. These guide mechanics through the Dent & Buckle procedure and help with damage searching, localization, and documentation processes. The assessment results show a high potential for time reduction in dent searching operations and acceptance of the introduced AR system.
