Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for assessing illumination set-up for vehicle system calibration. The invention in one aspect utilises a machine vision process using an imaging device for imaging a calibration target in an illumination set up and processes the image in order to identify illumination problems. If illumination problems are identified, the illumination set up is amended and/or the target repositioned with respect to the vehicle and/or the illumination set up, and the target is then re-imaged.

Abstract: A technique for investigating the accuracy of fitment for a vehicle replacement windscreen having a mounted driver assistance camera (DAC) utilises an illuminating radiation delivery device and a spectral reflection profile from the DAC is imaged and compared to a datum spectral reflection profile (SRP). The datum spectral reflection profile may result from a DAC fitted to the windscreen before replacement. A first spectral reflection profile may imaged with DAC in position on a damaged windscreen fitted to the vehicle and a second spectral reflection profile is imaged with DAC in position on the replacement windscreen fitted to the vehicle.
