Vision King Body in White

Technology Description

The main goal is to identify defects and imperfections on the surface and car body from stamping to the body shop, including:

Craters

Crater on the car body surface

Ruptures

Rupture on the car body panel

Waves

Waviness on the car body surface

Mechanical Marks

Mechanical marks on the car body surface

Scratches

Scratch on the car body surface

Computer vision applied to car body surface inspection has become an essential solution to ensure quality in manufacturing processes and prevent recalls. Vision King uses infrared cameras and image processing algorithms to detect defects on the metallic car body surface that are difficult to identify with the naked eye.
