  • the information or data acquired by the devices are processed by on-board systems to obtain the desired functionality.
  • a night driving assistance system makes it possible to display in real time on the dashboard of the vehicle a video of the external environment by means of an infrared camera placed behind the windshield of the vehicle.
  • An autonomous driving system processes the images acquired by a camera placed behind the windshield of the vehicle in order to extract therefrom the data necessary for the automatic piloting unit of the vehicle.
  • the on-board intelligent systems which implement optical recording devices or measuring devices arranged behind the glazing to be able to function optimally, it is necessary that the data acquired by said optical devices be reliable, it is that is, free from any artifact.
  • said glazing must have sufficient optical quality in order to avoid optical defects and / or aberrations such as sphericity, chromatism, astigmatism or coma aberrations.
  • these decorative elements can limit the field of acquisition of devices.
  • the size of the delimited area can become very small in order to ensure that the non-active elements of said devices remain invisible from outside the vehicle.
  • the decorative elements can be very close to the acquisition field, and the aberrations and / or optical defects that they cause can become very critical for the proper functioning of the devices.

  • optical distortions can be various.
  • the differences in thermal expansion coefficient or the physicochemical interactions between the materials of the enamel and the glass can cause variations local properties near their edges.

These elements can, for example, be networks of heating wires with different geometries, or else functional layers with optical or thermal properties. These elements functional also cause optical distortions. An example of functional elements is illustrated in Figure 2d.
  • Glazing comprising a delimited area intended to be placed in front of an acquisition or measurement device are manufactured before the integration of said device. It is therefore necessary to check the optical quality of the delimited area in order to prevent the presence of optical distortions, in particular near the edges of the delimited area, from causing damaging artifacts in the images or signals acquired. by these devices.

  • these methods are unsuitable in that they do not make it possible to measure the quality of a delimited area of a glazing, in particular to accurately measure the optical quality of said area when the delimiting elements, such as enamels of said zone are the source of optical distortions in their proximity.
  • these methods have a spatial resolution such that the measurements of the optical quality are limited to a surface portion of said delimited zone. The edges of this portion must be far enough from the edges of the decorative elements of the delimited area to avoid any measurement artifacts.
  • this portion is often arbitrary in the sense that, as a precaution, the size is often chosen smaller than necessary .
  • such a portion is obtained using a digital mask affixed to mask on the images said portion close to the edges of the decorative elements.
  • Phase shift deflectometry consists of measuring the geometric distortion of the image of a test pattern, such as a grid, reflected or transmitted by the surface to the reflecting or transparent surface of an object. Measuring this deformation amounts to identifying the local phase shift of the test pattern with respect to the situation in the absence of sample or product to be evaluated. This measurement can provide information on the local curvatures of this surface and on the deflection of light rays when crossing the surface in question.
  • phase shift deflectometry There are two types of phase shift deflectometry.
  • Time phase shift deflectometry uses a test pattern consisting of a periodic pattern, the phase of which varies with time. For example, for a test pattern consisting of an array of fringes, a predetermined phase shift is introduced between the fringes by moving the fringes as a function of time. To achieve this type of test pattern, a digital screen is generally used on which arrays of out-of-phase fringes are successively and dynamically displayed by a control unit.
  • Time phase shift deflectometry is known to be poorly suited to measuring the surface curvature of less than 0.5m 2 , which typically the surface of a delimited area of a glazing intended to be placed on the optical axis an optical device for the operation of an intelligent driving assistance system.
  • Spatial phase shift deflectometry uses a fixed test pattern. It is the variations in curvature of the reflecting surface or transmitting an image of the test pattern that introduce the phase shift.
  • the accuracy of the offset measurement then depends on the spatial resolution of the optical device used to acquire the image of the test pattern. For example, in the case of a digital optical device, the resolution will depend on the size of the contiguous pixels of said device.
  • the image of the test pattern should not be too distorted by the surface of the object, in which case the local phase shift of the test pattern cannot be accurately measured.
  • the optical distortions can be such that the deformation of the image of the test pattern does not allow the measurement of the local phase shifts of the test pattern.
  • Certain methods described in the state of the art make it possible to resolve certain limitations of phase shift deflectometry, but none is suitable for measuring the quality of a delimited zone of a glazing, in particular at the precise measurement of the optical quality of said zone when the delimiting elements, such as enamels, of said zone may be the source of optical aberrations and / or defects in their proximity.
  • the present invention solves this problem. It relates to two alternative methods as defined by claims 1 and 2, the independent claims being advantageous embodiments.
  • the invention allows the measurement of the optical quality of surfaces of small area, in particular of an area of less than 0.5 m 2 , using a phase shift deflectometry method temporal, whereas this type of method is considered unsuitable in the state of the art.
