Abstract :
In this article the development of a system for fillet weld identification is considered for automatic inspection of storage spheres. Distance sensors based on different physical principles are characterized and selected, thus getting, greater confidence of the acquired data. The data provided from the different types of sensors will be submitted to a fusing process, aiming at to increase the confidence and performance of the system.
