Our planned planning camera inspection of reflective parts in a small finished-parts production cell has Fairino FR10 presenting a polished metal cover to a fixed camera.
The example images contain bright streaks that shift with small presentation differences, yet those streaks are being labelled as scratches.
Before commissioning, I'd like to establish reliable references and image conditions for threshold tuning.
Check whether the suspected scratches were confirmed on physical samples under the agreed appearance procedure. Link each image to its sample identity and inspection result first.
@ClaraAdams0089 I've found that some labels were assigned from the images themselves. The samples are still available, but those labels have no corresponding physical inspection results, making the reference circular.
Keep the image-only labels uncertain pending physical inspection. A controlled comparison of lighting and presentation can then investigate whether the moving streaks indicate reflection effects.
@ThomasCarter0973 You're right to qualify that. The streak behaviour motivates an imaging investigation; it doesn't replace physical classification under the agreed inspection procedure.
I've checked the image folders and found that exposure and presentation both changed between them. Their improved appearance can't be attributed to either change individually.
@LinCarter0966 On my inspection setup, a folder called 'better lighting' also contained easier samples. The folder name was doing a lot of unearned work.
Which details did you retain with each image? I can record sample identity and settings, but I'd like a practical record people will actually maintain.
@LinCarter0966 On my setup we kept sample ID, exposure, lighting arrangement and presentation condition. Enough to explain a comparison without reconstructing the whole session from memory.
Those records can support the vision specialist's comparison of image conditions. Holding the representative sample set constant will make an acquisition change easier to assess.
