Abstract
A surface evaluation system that includes one or more vision systems that generate target surface data during evaluation of a surface, the one or more vision systems comprising two or more of: at least one light, a camera, a structured light camera, a laser scanner and a 3D scanner.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating instructions to control an automated surface finishing system to apply a material to a target surface;
- controlling one or more of a distance and an angle of a light relative to the target surface;
- receiving one or more images of the target surface captured by a camera while the light is illuminating the target surface at an incident angle relative to the target surface;
- processing the one or more images to identify a feature in the image that indicates a defect in the target surface;
- and
- identifying a rework area based on a location of the feature in the image.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- controlling a position of a scanner relative to a target surface;
- receiving, three-dimensional topography information of the target surface captured by the scanner;
- processing the three-dimensional topography information to determine a surface profile of the target surface;
- and
- generating a toolpath and parameters for an automated surface finishing system based on the surface profile.
2 more elements
A surface quality evaluation system comprising:
- a frame having a base-bars to define a frame base that frames an area of a target surface;
- top-bars that define a frame top;
- side-bars extending from corners of the frame base to define frame sidewalls and couple with the top-bars;
- a first light and a second light in different orientations to light up the area;
- one or more cameras to capture images of the area;
- and
- a display device to present results of an image analysis of the images to a user.
