Improving surface defect detection for quality assessment of car body panels.
Surface quality analysis of exterior car body panels was still character ized by manual detection of local form deviations and subjective evaluation by experts. The approach presented in this paper is based on 3-D image processing A major step towards automated quality control of produced panels is the classification of the different kinds of surface form deviations. In previous studies we compared the performance of different soft computing techniques for the detection of surface defect types....
