Abstract

Método y aparato para detectar y medir las imperfecciones sobre la superficie de un artículo, comprendiendo dicho método las etapas de: iluminar la superficie del artículo, por lo cual las porciones dañadas y no dañadas de la superficie reflejan la luz en diferentes grados; detectar la luz reflejada por la superficie y producir una pluralidad de mediciones de intensidad de la luz reflejada por un área segmental discreta de la superficie; comparar cada una de las mediciones de intensidad de la luz con una medición de intensidad de la luz correspondiente a un área segmental contígua, produciendo con ello una pluralidad de señales de comparación, siendo cada una de dichas señales de comparación una medida de la cantidad de cambio en la reflectividad superficial para un área segmental única; y combinar la pluralidad de señales de comparación entre sí de una manera predeterminada para detectar y medir las imperfecciones sobre la superficie del artículo.
