We're planning inspecting reflective surfaces for scratches, 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?
@LinAllen0270 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.
@RachelAli0261 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.
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.
