Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing a system for assessing a coated surface with respect to a type set containing at least one type of surface defect that can occur on the surface, to such a system for assessing a coated surface, to a measuring device for acquiring an image of a coated surface including such a system, and to a method for assessing a coated surface using such a system. The system can use a convolutional neural network (CNN), in particular the so-called U-Net architecture, to recognize the at least one surface defect in an image provided to the system. Moreover, the system can use a support vector machine algorithm to provide, based on the recognition results, quantitative and/or qualitative information about the depiction of the at least one surface defect in the image provided to the system.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for inspecting surfaces and in particular motor vehicle surfaces having effect pigments, wherein a first radiation device irradiates, at a first predefined angle of incidence, a surface to be inspected and a colour image-capturing device captures, at a first observation angle, a spatially resolved image of the surface irradiated from the direction of radiation. This image-capturing device has a first predefined sensitivity (F(λ)) which depends on a wavelength of the radiation incident on the image-capturing device and is different from a second predefined sensitivity (X(λ)) which depends on a wavelength of the radiation incident on the human eye. The method is characterised in that a filter device is used to at least partly compensate for differences between the first sensitivity (F(λ)) and the second sensitivity (X(λ)).
