Abstract: A sensor system and method for measuring a parameter of a paint layer provided on a surface of an object includes a robot arm and a measuring device mounted to the robot arm. The measuring device includes a radiation emitter and a radiation receiver, a sensor arrangement and a control unit. The sensor system and method carries out a measurement of a parameter of the paint layer at a predefined measuring location by accounting for positioning data and measurement data sot that, prior to a measurement, a distance between the measuring device and the surface of the object is adjusted to be in a predefined distance range, and a vector of the measuring direction of the measuring device is adjusted to be normal with respect to the surface of the object within an angular tolerance range from −5° to 5°.

Abstract: A method and a system for determining a region of water clearance of a water surface are disclosed. The method includes receiving image data of an image captured by a camera, determining water surface pixels of the image from the image data, determining image coordinates of at least a first group of the determined water surface pixels in an image coordinate system, determining a position and an orientation of the camera at the time the image has been captured, determining real-world coordinates of the corresponding water surface in the real world by transferring at least the image coordinates of the first group to a real-world coordinate system under consideration of the determined position and orientation of the camera, and determining a region of the water surface, which is defined by the determined real-world coordinates of the first group, as the region of water clearance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a pulsed THz beam includes emitting, by THz emitter, pulsed THz radiation of outgoing pulse shape for interacting with target body; detecting, by THz detector, incoming THz radiation comprising THz pulses, and outputting, by THz detector, a raw detector data of pulse shapes of incoming THz pulses; and determining, by pulse shape reconstruction module, a reconstructed incoming pulse shape based on the raw detector data, measuring, by sensor, a time-of-flight quantity (d) affecting the time of flight of the THz radiation; and adjusting operation of at least one of THz emitter, THz detector and pulse shape reconstruction module using the time-of-flight quantity (d), for correcting for variations in time of flight of the THz radiation.

Abstract: A method of labelling a water surface within an image is provided. The method includes: receiving image data of the image generated by a camera, the image including at least one water surface; receiving water surface extension data, the water surface extension data being representative of an area over which the water surface extends in the real world; matching the water surface extension data to the image data based on a spatial relationship between the camera and the area of the water surface; and labelling the water surface in the image based on the matched water surface extension data.

Abstract: A method for determining an estimated position of a vehicle includes: receiving a measured sensor response determined with a scanning sensor of the vehicle, which is scanning an environment of the vehicle and determining the estimated position of the vehicle by generating a virtual sensor response for a possible position of the vehicle from an environmental map; and comparing the measured sensor response with the virtual sensor response for determining, how much the possible position and a real position of the vehicle at which the measured sensor response was generated, coincide.

Abstract: A method for coating objects starts with dispensing, by means of a first painting system, a first coating layer on a first object. A property of the first coating layer is measured to thereby obtain a first property value, and a coating variable of a second painting system is adjusted based on the first property value. A second coating layer is dispensed on the first coating layer by means of the second painting system which is different from the first painting system. By providing a measurement between the two painting systems, and by adjusting the coating parameters of the downstream painting system based on the measurement results, the overall coating can be corrected by compensating by means of the downstream painting system for a defective coating dispensed by the upstream painting system.

Abstract: A method for modelling a coating process including a plurality of coating parameters, includes the steps of: dispensing, by the coating process and during K work cycles, a coating on each of K pieces of objects to thereby obtain K pieces of coatings; recording, during each of the K work cycles, coating variable values of p coating parameters at M instances to thereby obtain recording results; and measuring at least one coating property at m locations of each of the K pieces of coatings to thereby obtain measurement results. The method is characterized by the step of determining a digital twin of the coating process on the basis of the recording results and the measurement results. By using results from a large amount of classical quality control measurements together with corresponding coating parameter information, a digital twin of the coating process can be determined through statistical processing of such big data. The digital twin) may be used either for automatic adjustment of the coating parameters to obtain an improved coating quality, for prediction of the coating quality right after a work cycle to obtain an improved quality control, or for both.
