Surface curvature analysis using color

Published:19 October 1992Publication History

ABSTRACT

In the automotive industry it is highly important that the exterior body panels be esthetically pleasing. One aspect of creating esthetically pleasing surfaces is to require that they be fair. In this paper we present a system which has proven useful for diagnosis of surface fairness problems. We describe how to choose a set of colors with perceptually uniform spacing, and also show the usefulness of a logarithmic scale for relating curvature to colors.
