It is calculated and evaluated with a calibration multiplier specific to the relevant product code, and then 10 The regional homogeneity score is compared with the threshold value of the product code. in the application where it is used, local contact rates in the environmental sectors of the region of interest and the regional homogeneity score is also calculated and the relevant lower limit is taken into consideration in the acceptance decision. They are evaluated together. In this way, the system controls the physical contact pattern created by paint transfer. obtained under imaging conditions, corresponding to the ring-shaped contact surface numerical measurement in the region of interest, with a product code-specific calibration multiplier. evaluation and acceptance / rejection decision based on the threshold value of the relevant product code. It performs the connection processes in an integrated manner. Decision In the application where the parameters are recorded with a timestamp, the measurement result is 20 The relationship between the parameters on which the decision is based is also preserved. In one application of the invention, the product code-specific calibration factor (m), using reference parts with known nominal contact ratio values This is determined. For this purpose, the reference part or parts belonging to the relevant product code are used. Measurements are taken under the paint transfer and imaging conditions used in the system. 25 The processing unit has an independently determined nominal contact ratio with the reference part. Optical contact ratio calculated without applying a calibration multiplier. They are compared. The calibration factor is the nominal contact ratio of the optical contact. It is calculated by dividing by the ratio. m = R_nominal / R_optical 30 Here, R_nominal is the known nominal contact ratio of the reference part; R_optical the number of paint and white pixels from the camera image for the same reference part. 12 Expresses the contact ratio calculated without applying a calibration multiplier. If more than one reference part is used, for each reference part... The calibration multiplier for the product code is determined from the obtained ratios. The determined calibration multiplier will correspond to the relevant product code. The calibration is stored in the database, and the contact ratio is 5 in subsequent measurements. It is used in the account. Optical of a reference part with a nominal contact ratio of 80% If the contact rate is measured at 76%, the calibration factor is 80 / 76 = 1.0526. It can be calculated. In a measurement where this multiplier is used, the optical contact before calibration. If the ratio is 72%, the calibrated contact ratio is obtained as 72% × 1.0526 = 75.79%. 10 These values are not the result of actual experimentation but demonstrate the calculation principle. It was given for this purpose. In a preferred application of the invention, the annular region of interest is environmental. It is divided into multiple sectors in this direction. The processing unit is located within each sector. Using the ratio of the number of paint pixels to the total number of paint and white pixels, the relevant 15 It calculates the local contact rate of the sector. Local contact rates are related to the product. Inter-sector contact is assessed by using a calibration multiplier specific to the code. It is used in determining the distribution. The regional homogeneity score (H) is the local contact calculated between sectors. It is determined based on the change in rates. In an example application, local 20 The largest and smallest difference between the contact rates is the percentage of the contact rate. It is normalized to its full scale, and the complement of this variation is the homogeneity score. It is calculated as follows. H = 1 − (R_max − R_min) / 100 Here, R_max represents the maximum local contact rate calculated between sectors; 25 R_min represents the minimum local contact rate. Local contact rates... In this example calculation, where the percentage ranges from 0 to 100, homogeneity... The score ranges between 0 and 1. The contact rates between sectors are similar to each other. As we get closer, the homogeneity score approaches 1. The decision unit is the total contact. The ratio is determined by the threshold value for the relevant product code and the lower limit of the homogeneity score (H_min) is 30. It compares them. The acceptance decision is made if both conditions are met simultaneously. It is produced. 13 In a region of interest divided into four sectors, local contact rates were 80% respectively. Assuming the percentages are 78%, 82%, and 76%, the largest and smallest values are... The difference between them is 6 percentage points. In this case, H = 1 − 6 / 100 = 0.94. is calculated. In a hypothetical application where the lower limit of homogeneity is 0.90. The homogeneity condition is thus met. For the final acceptance decision, the total contact rate must also be 5. The product code must meet the threshold value. These values are real. This is not application data. 15 25
