Weld surface quality inspection is an indispensable part in the welding automation engineering. When Laser Triangulation Method (LTM) is used to scan the weld surface, external factors will interfere with the laser center line, resulting in data loss and quality detection failure, and massive data loss is difficult to be repaired in the traditional way. In order to improve the quality of weld surface defect detection, it is necessary to find an effective and strong anti-interference method to fix the lost data. This paper presents a method of fixing the data loss caused by external environmental factors in the process of detecting flatbed lap weld surface defects by LTM. The paper includes the analysis of the causes of data loss, its impact for practical applications and a repair method. The repair method derives a formula which is suitable for expressing three-dimensional points on weld surface by combining Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) and weld surface section model. The accuracy of the algorithm is verified by experiments on standard block and single weld cross-section. The accuracy of the method up to 92% and the repair rate improved by 30%. The method was tested on flatbed lap weld to confirm its effectiveness in the field of catching surface defects hidden in the lost data.
