A fixed camera, small presentation changes, very different streaks

We're planning planning camera inspection of reflective parts, 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?

@JackBrown0950 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.

@LuisBarnes0608 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.

@JackBrown0950 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.

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.

@JackBrown0950 You've settled the starting method, with inspection suitability still tied to the physical-reference and controlled-image evaluation.
