Abstract: A method and apparatus for imaging the surface of an object is provided. The object (204) is moved through an inspection region (210) where it is illuminated using at least two types of illumination (236 and 240). An integrated image is obtained which advantageously includes different types of surface characteristics that, individually, are visible only under one of the two types of illumination. In a preferred embodiment, the object being monitored is a continuous web of material such as a metal sheet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for detecting the presence of bark and for determining the barking degree of wood or chips. Accordingly, the apparatus includes a light source (12) which directs a concentrated light beam (14) onto the measurement object (16), for instance a log which is moved continuously in a transport chute (20). The shape and/or size of the light image obtained on the log (16) at the point (18) on which the light beam (14) impinges on the log is detected with the aid of a camera (10), preferably a CCD-camera. The shape and/or size of the light image is mutually different for wood and bark. The detection values obtained by the CCD-camera (10) are evaluated in a processing means.

Abstract: An article inspection system especially useful for containers (20) having threaded ends includes a video camera (30), digitizer and data processor (150) operable to analyze a video image collected through a lens system (40). The lens system (40) has several alternatives, in each case including a wide aspect object lens, wider than the end of the article being inspected, with a refracting and/or reflecting light ray path operable to produce a two dimensional image including both the end of the article and the sides of the article adjacent the end. The optics produce a distorted image in which the sides of the article appear folded upwardly into the two dimensional image such that a two dimensional data array adequately represents the image of the end and the adjacent sides.

Abstract: A system for the assessment of reflective surfaces disposed along a roadway repeatedly illuminates an area along the roadway that includes at least one reflective surface using a light source. Multiple light intensity values are measured over a field of view which includes at least a portion of the area illuminated by the light source. A computer processing system is used to identifying a portion of the light intensity values associated with a reflective surface and analyze the portion of the light intensity values to determine assessment for that reflective surface. In one embodiment, a virtual nighttime drive through along a roadway is simulated using a plurality of intensity values to simulate reflections from each reflective surface disposed along the roadway during the virtual drive through.

Abstract: A system for classifying different types of sheeting materials of road signs depicted in a videostream compares estimated retroreflectivity values against known minimum retroreflectivity values for each of a plurality of colors. Once a road sign has been identified in the videostream, the frames associated with that road sign are analyzed to determine each of a plurality of colors present on the road sign. An estimated retroreflectivity for each of the plurality of colors present on the road sign is then determined. By comparing the estimated retroreflectivity for each of the plurality of colors against known minimum retroreflectivity values for the corresponding color for different types of sheeting materials, an accurate determination of the classification of the sheeting material of the road sign is established. Preferably, certain conditions of gross failure of the sheeting material are filtered out before classification of the sheeting material is determined.
