摘要： The present invention is directed to a method of inspecting a curved object comprising the steps of acquiring inspection image data of a curved object using a detector, generating adjusted image data by adjusting the inspection image data, and comparing the adjusted image data with digitally generated image data of a predetermined image. In one embodiment, golf balls are inspected using a line scan camera and a line of coplanar and parallel, diffuse light that uniformly illuminates the camera's scan line. A method of digitally filtering brightness in a digital image is also disclosed.

摘要： A method for inspecting golf balls is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of providing at least one sensor capable of obtaining images of the infrared radiation emitted from the ball, obtaining at least one image of the ball using the sensor after paint or a coating has been applied to the surface of the ball, and determining whether the liquid was applied evenly on the surface of the ball. Preferably, the image is obtained during the transient period when the solvent in the paint or coating is evaporating. A number of numerical analysis can be used to determine the evenness of the paint or coating.

摘要： A method for inspecting golf balls is disclosed. An imager such as a camera captures a spectral image of the golf ball. The spectral image is captured line-by-line as the golf ball rotates. The lines are then packed together to form a three-dimensional spectral image of the golf ball showing full spectral information for every pixel. The resultant three-dimensional spectral image is then analyzed, such as using a pattern matching or threshold analysis tool. If a golf ball passes the inspection, it is permitted to advance in the processing. If the golf ball does not pass the inspection, it may be diverted. This inspection system is capable of detecting very subtle color differences, so the system is particularly applicable for use in inspecting primer coat coverage.
