Greg Blackman talks to Isak du Preez, who’s new approach to 3D deflectometry has attracted interest from BMW and other car makers
Euresys’ Photometric Stereo function estimates the orientation and albedo of each point of a surface by acquiring several images from a single viewpoint, but lit from different directions
Photometric stereo uses 3D surface orientation and its effect on reflected light to produce a contrast image accentuating local 3D surface variations, making complex inspections cheaper and more effective
