Abstract:
A system for measuring a flushness of a fastener in a surface includes a plurality of lights configured to illuminate the fastener and the surface. The system also includes a camera configured to capture a plurality of images of the fastener and the surface while the lights sequentially illuminate the fastener and the surface. The system also includes a computing system configured to determine a normal map of the fastener and the surface based at least partially upon the images, determine a depth map of the fastener and the surface based at least partially upon the normal map, and determine the flushness of the fastener with respect to the surface based at least partially upon the depth map.
