Patent number: 10289895Abstract: A method for determining a distortion of the image of an object formed by a reflection on a reflecting object includes capturing a reflected image of the reflecting object, determining, using the captured reflected image, a three-dimensional (3-D) shape of the surface of the reflecting object, calculating, based on the determined 3-D shape, distortion of the captured reflected image of the reflecting object from different viewing directions and using the calculated distortion from the different viewing directions, determining a three-dimensional (3-D) distortion of the surface of the reflecting object.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: ISRA SURFACE VISION GMBHInventors: Rolf Kubiak, Christian Ripperda

Patent number: 9818021Abstract: A method for determining a local refractive power in a volume element of a transparent object using a pattern includes observing the pattern through the transparent object by a first camera, determining, using the observed pattern, a three-dimensional (3-D) shape and position of a surface of a particular volume element of the transparent object facing the pattern and using the determined 3-D shape and surface position of the particular volume element, determining a local refractive power for the particular volume element.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: ISRA SURFACE VISION GMBHInventors: Rolf Kubiak, Christian Ripperda

Patent number: 9797833Abstract: A method for determining a refractive power of a large-surface-area transparent object, such as a windshield, a visual aid, a cockpit glazing, a helmet visor, or the like, includes detecting a first imaging of a first line grating through the transparent object at at least one predetermined point of the object using a camera and determining a line spacing of the first imaging, the rotation of the lines relative to the first line grating or both through use of a computing unit on the basis of the first imaging at the at least one specified point and using the line spacing or rotation of lines to determine the refractive power at the at least one predetermined point of the transparent object.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: ISRA SURFACE VISION GMBHInventor: Paul Weigt

Patent number: 9535002Abstract: A device for inspecting a material with a coated surface includes a light source disposed above the surface that emits light in a wavelength range, at least one first camera for determining a color value of detected light reflected from the surface and an evaluation device. The first camera is disposed above a line located on the surface and configured with a first aperture to detect light from a first point of the line at a first viewing angle and light from a second point separate from the first point at a second viewing angle. The first camera determines a first color value of the first point light and a second color value of the second point light and the evaluation device compares the first and second color values or a color value difference with a predefined color setpoint value or predefined color setpoint value range.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: ISRA SURFACE VISION GMBHInventor: Rolf Kubiak

Patent number: 8064069Abstract: The invention describes a method for measuring the shape of a reflective surface (14) and a corresponding system which has at least one pattern (15) for reflection at the reflective surface (14) and at least one camera (1) for viewing the pattern (15) which is reflected at the surface (14) pixel by pixel, wherein the position and orientation of the camera (1) and of the pattern (15) are known. In order to reliably measure the shape of reflective surfaces with a small amount of equipment complexity, the viewing directions of the camera (1), which are known for the pixels (8), and the positions of the pattern (15), which correspond to the mapping of the reflected pattern (15) to pixels (8) of the camera (1), are used to determine the surface angle and surface height for the purpose of measuring the shape.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2007Date of Patent: November 22, 2011Assignee: ISRA Surface Vision GmbHInventors: Stephan Wienand, Armin Rudert

Patent number: 7453563Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a corresponding method for detecting scratches on the surface (2) of a material, in particular glass. Said device comprises an illumination unit (3) and a recording unit (4), which register a scanning line (6) on the surface (2) of the material and can be displaced in relation to said surface (2). In order to more accurately identify scratches, the illumination unit (3) comprises at least one light strip (9), which generates parallel light pools transversally to the scanning line (6), said pools being diffuse or quasi-diffuse along the scanning line (6) and preferably at least one light source (16), which generates a diffuse or quasi-diffuse light transversally to the scanning line (6).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2005Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Isra Surface Vision GmbHInventors: Armin Rudert, Ulrich Pingel
