Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an electronic system is described. The electronic system includes a scanning device to capture an image of an object. The object includes encoded data formed therein. An attribute determiner of the electronic system determines an actual value of a surface attribute of the object. The electronic system includes an extraction device to extract from the image of the object, a target value for the surface attribute from the encoded data. A comparator of the electronic system determines if a difference between the actual value and the target value has a specified value.
Claims15
An electronic system, comprising:
- a scanning device to capture an image of an object, the object including encoded data formed therein;
- an attribute determiner to determine an actual value of a surface attribute of the object;
- an extraction device to extract from the image of the object, a target value for the surface attribute from the encoded data;
- and
- a comparator to determine if a difference between the actual value and the target value has a specified value.
A method, comprising:
- extracting from an image of an object, encoded data formed in the object;
- determining a target value of a surface attribute for the object from the encoded data;
- measuring an actual value of the surface attribute of the object;
- and
- comparing the actual value with the target value to determine surface attribute consistency.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:
- determine, for an object, a target value of a surface attribute of the object;
- encode the target value into a surface attribute pattern to be formed on the object;
- and
- form the surface attribute pattern onto the object.
