Abstract: An optical inspection system is provided for an ultraviolet laser and associated optics forming a planar laser sheet directed to a glass sheet. The planar laser sheet intersects a surface of the glass sheet thereby causing the surface of the glass sheet to fluoresce and form a visible wavelength line on the surface. A camera has an image sensor for detecting the visible wavelength line. A control system in configured to receive image data indicative of the visible wavelength line, analyze and triangulate the data to determine a series of coordinates associated with the line, and create a three-dimensional map of the surface of the glass sheet as a function of the series of coordinates. Methods for using an optical inspection system, for gauging a surface using an optical inspection system, and for providing optical reflectance information for a surface using an optical inspection system are also provided.

Abstract: A system for acquiring surface data from one of the surfaces of a curved panel having a specular surface and developing a surface definition of the panel includes a conveyor for conveying the panel in a first direction, at least one display projecting a preselected multi-phase non-repeating contrasting pattern, and at least one camera, each one of the cameras uniquely paired with one of the displays. The system may also include a control programmed to execute logic for controlling each of the camera/display pairs to acquire the desired images, and logic for analyzing and combining the data acquired by the cameras to construct a definition of the surface of the panel.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluating the performance of a vehicle windshield wiper system includes a digital camera positioned to allow the camera to capture an image of the surface of the windshield, and a computer including logic for capturing a digital image of the surface of the soiled windshield, capturing a digital image of the surface of the wiped windshield, and comparing the data from both captured images to develop selected indicia related to the extent to which the soil has been removed from the windshield.
