Online Monitoring of Torpedo Car Shells Based on Equal Angle Scanning

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors have presented a remote, non-destructive and fast monitoring of surface quality of torpedo cars by infrared black body imaging. This is very interesting and helpful for many industrial applications. I recommend publishing this article in MDPI applied sciences after the authors have addressed few minor comments as follows: 

1) There is a lot of typos in the manuscript that needs to be corrected. For e.g. Figure 1 - blackbody, Figure 2 us should be microseconds, precison, etc.

2) All the figures should be sub-texted with A, B, C. The figure captions should be elaborative. 

3) The values in the scale of Figure 7 are too small to read. 

4) The authors need to provide the resolution of the temperature change that can be measured. As well as the area resolution of this imaging setup?

Response: Thanks for your attention. I have modified them in the revision version.

Response: Thanks for your attention. I have modified them in the revision version.

3) The values in the scale of Figure 7 are too small to read. 

Response: Thanks for your attention. I have added another figure in the revision version.

4) The authors need to provide the resolution of the temperature change that can be measured. As well as the area resolution of this imaging setup? 

Response: Thanks for your attention. I have added in detail in the revision version.

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear authors

The paper owns good structure and it would be of interest. I do recommend to consider the following concerns in the revised version:

• The English is not very well written, please carefully review the text;
• It is suggested to avoid active tense with "WE", instead it is recommended to use the passive tense;
• The novelty of the work is vague! please include and stress the innovative point of the work in the abstract or through introduction part;
• Conclusions must be rewritten! It is not supporting the results and the methodology properly;
• The methodology must be clearly described in a dedicated section, therefore, other researchers could repeat the test and benefit form your work;
• The literature review is weak! please reinforce it.

Very Best
