Abstract:
An example system is described herein. The example system may include an inspection device comprising at least one image capture device, the at least one image capture device configured to capture a reference image of a sheet part. Additionally, the example system may include a processing unit configured to identify at least one primary point in the reference image and identify at least one secondary point in a mask image. The processing unit may transform the mask image based on the at least one primary point and the at least one secondary point. The processing unit may apply the transformed mask image to the reference image to identify an inspection region within the reference image, process the inspection region of the reference image to determine the quality of the sheet part, and output information indicative of the quality of the sheet part.
