ABSTRACT:
This process includes arranging a grid on the surface a structure to be inspected, directing a light source onto this grid so as to create a shadow on the structure, recording an image of the pattern observed, displaying a graphic representation of the image recorded, and determining a depth of the damage from this representation. The device enabling the implementation of the process includes a grid or screen, a light sources, an image acquisition device, and a display. Once the images are recorded, the invention calls upon processing devices that permit determining the position in space, in particular, a height, of each point of the image and as such of the surface observed.
