Abstract:
Radiation is irradiated by an irradiation device at a pre-set angle of incidence with respect to the surface onto the surface to be investigated, and the radiation scattered and/or reflected by this surface arrives at a radiation detector device arranged at a pre-set detection angle with respect to the surface and having an image-recording unit which records black-and-white images, wherein this radiation detector device permits a spatially resolved detection of the radiation reaching it. The irradiation device directs radiation in a first wavelength range onto the surface and the image-recording unit records a first spatially resolved image of this radiation scattered and/or reflected from the surface and the irradiation device directs radiation in a second wavelength range onto the surface and the image-recording unit records a second spatially resolved image of this radiation scattered and/or reflected from the surface.
Abstract:
A method for the optical investigation of textured surfaces (10) with the steps: irradiation of radiation onto the surface (10) to be investigated; reception of an image from at least part of the radiation irradiated onto the surface (10) and reflected by the surface (10); location-resolved evaluation of the image recorded and determination of at least one value (K) which is characteristic of this image. According to the invention a parameter (G) which is characteristic of the surface is determined whilst using the characteristic value (K) and whilst using at least one further property (E)—known beforehand or determined—of the surface (10).

Abstract:
A device and process for measuring and analyzing spectral radiation within a desired wavelength range. A number of radiation sources are provided, in combination with a sensor for detecting radiation within the desired wavelength range. The radiation sources are selected to have spectral characteristics that are linearly independent from one another, but overlap so that, in combination, the radiation sources generate radiation over the entire desired wavelength range. Alternatively, a single radiation source generating radiation over the entire desired wavelength range is provided in combination with a plurality of sensors that have spectral sensing characteristics that are linearly independent from one another, but overlap so that, in combination, the sensors sense radiation over the entire desired wavelength range. Further provided is a control unit that stores a number of calibration functions with linearly independent spectral characteristics, the control unit further receiving output values from the sensors to determine the spectral characteristics of the object being measured.
