Methods and systems for evaluating a fitting condition of two or more adjacent surfaces

A system for evaluating a fitting condition of two or more adjacent surfaces, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more scanners communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors that store logic that when actuated by the one or more processors causes the one or more processors to:
• scan, with the one or more scanners, a first surface;
• scan, with the one or more scanners, a second surface adjacent to the first surface;
• extrapolate a first extrapolated curvature of the first surface;
• extrapolate a second extrapolated curvature of the second surface;
• extend the first extrapolated curvature toward the second extrapolated curvature;
• and
• compare the first extrapolated curvature and the second extrapolated curvature to determine a curvature continuity value, wherein the curvature continuity value represents a degree of parallelism between the first extrapolated curvature and the second extrapolated curvature.

A method of evaluating a fitting condition of two or more adjacent surfaces, the method comprising:

• scanning, with a three-dimensional scanner, a first surface;
• scanning, with the three-dimensional scanner, a second surface adjacent to the first surface;
• extrapolating a first extrapolated curvature of a first leading portion of the first surface;
• extrapolating a second extrapolated curvature of a second leading portion of the second surface;
• determining a curvature continuity value by comparing the first extrapolated curvature with the second extrapolated curvature, wherein the curvature continuity value represents a degree of parallelism between the first extrapolated curvature and the second extrapolated curvature;
• determining a fitting condition comprising at least comparing the curvature continuity value with a predetermined curvature continuity threshold;
• and
• adjusting one of the first surface and the second surface when the fitting condition is larger than a predetermined fitting condition threshold.
