Abstract: An automated method measures geometric curvature deviations between dished surfaces of a plurality of materials to be assessed and a dished surface of a reference material. The method calculates, by computer, at selected points, a difference between the curvature profiles of the dished surface of each material to be assessed and a relief height or curvature profile of the dished surface of the reference material.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for measuring the three-dimensional geometry of a mineral glass-based glazing during or just after a temperature shaping operation. The method implements digital processing and calculations, based on the principles of stereocorrelation, of digital images of a random light pattern projected onto the surface of a transparent glazing. It makes it possible in particular to determine the shape or the three-dimensional geometry of a transparent glazing, the surface of which not be totally opacified and/or which radiates under the effect of temperature.

Abstract: A method for measuring the optical quality of a given region of a glazing of a road or rail vehicle, the region being intended to be positioned in the optical path of an image-acquiring device, the measuring method being implemented by a measuring device including an emitter and a wavefront analyzer, the measuring method including emitting, with the emitter, a beam of light rays in the direction of the given region, analyzing, with the wavefront analyzer, the wavefront of the light rays transmitted by the given region, including generating a wavefront-error map, and determining, on the basis of the wavefront-error map, at least one optical-defect map, of any optical defects present in the region of the glazing.

Abstract: A method for temporal synchronization between an automatic movement device and a contactless detection device arranged on the automatic movement device in order to measure a physical parameter along at least one and the same defined trajectory along the surfaces of a plurality of materials to be evaluated.
