Real3D™ Measurement - Advanced 3D Inspection Software
Real3D™ measurement combines fully surfaced point cloud visualization, advanced measurement algorithms and an insightful 3D Surface Mask to enable more accurate and repeatable measurement decisions. Choose from three measurement technologies (3D Phase, 3D Stereo and traditional stereo).
Each of these technologies is compatible with some or all of our measurement types to help get the measurement needed in multiple applications. They include basics like length, depth point to line and area, but also specialty types including depth profile, area depth profile and measurement plane. Real3D Measurement also utilizes a dynamic warning system that helps guide inspectors and avoid unintended errors.

Mentor Visual iQ 3D Measurement Use Cases:
Pipe Weld Inspections Example
Area Depth Profile for Enhanced Cross-Sections
We created a new measurement type we call area depth profile, where we’re able to place two cursors on one side of the weld, and a third cursor on the opposite side. Then, it can provide a view showing a cross-section of the weld at the measurement location.
Turbine Blade Inspection Example
Projected Plane Measurement Shows You What's Missing
The corner of a turbine blade may have broken off from the engine. We developed a new technology we refer to as projected plane measurement, where the user can position three cursors on the remaining face of the turbine blade to effectively extend the surface of the blade to where the corner used to be.
Lube Oil Pump Inspection Example
3D Phase Measuring for Pixel-Level Accuracy
With the Mentor Visual iQ is we’ve implemented anew mapping technology called 3D phase measuring. 3D phase measuring gives you the ability to look at every single pixel and the X,Y, Z value associated with it. Is it left right? Is it up down? Is it further from the camera or closer to the camera? With 3D phase measuring, we can give that one single pixel an X, Y, Z value.
Power Inspection Example
Real3D vs 2D Measurement
We were approached by a customer who requested our help in gaining additional measurement insights for their inspection protocols. When we were presented with their existing measurement data, we noticed that the previous measurements were taken by 2D imaging and only a length measurement capability. For us, and for our customer, the solution was simple. We knew this was a perfect task for the Mentor Visual iQ, so we performed a 3D measurement, and the customer gained the valuable insights they were previously lacking.
Real3D vs Stereoscopic Measurement
See How a "Correct" Stereoscopic Measurement Can be Wrong
In this video, we dissect an example of scanning two surfaces and their relationship to one another, and how a stereoscopic scan can yield a "correct" measurement - based upon the limitations of the technology - that in fact is not representative of what you are actually seeing. then we compare that same scan with Real3D to see what happened, why it happened, and why Real 3D is the far more accurate option for precision inspection.
FAQs
-
How do I know which video borescope will fit my application?
-
Our support team offers consultations to help you figure out which Borescope will be best fit for your inspection device needs. Contact one of our experts.
-
What can this video borescope measure?
-
With the power of Real3D™, the MViQ can measure length, area, depth, multi-segment, depth profile, measurement plane and area depth profile.
-
What is the difference between HD and SD borescopes?
-
The Mentor Visual iQ has 1.2 megapixel HD sensors to increase image quality up to 1.7 times clearer than standard models operating at 440K pixels. This allows you to zoom into indications until they're nearly 70 percent larger, ensuring the most accurate analysis possible.
