We're planning presenting reflective components for surface inspection, with Fairino FR10 presenting a bright-finished enclosure faceplate to a fixed camera in a small finished-parts production cell.
Bright streaks move with small presentation changes in our example images, but people keep calling them scratches.
We haven't commissioned the cell.
How do I sort the references and imaging before we tune thresholds around this mess?
@NoraBarnes0583 Were those scratches confirmed on the physical samples using your agreed appearance method? Start by linking each image to a sample and its inspection result.
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.
@NoraBarnes0583 Mark those labels uncertain and have the samples inspected properly. Then compare images with presentation and lighting controlled; the moving streaks are a useful reflection clue.
That clue needs a limit: presentation can also change how a real scratch appears. Movement in the image isn't enough to reclassify the sample as acceptable.
My starting point is clear: establish physical references and compare image conditions in a controlled way. That resolves the planning question while leaving inspection suitability dependent on evaluation.
