METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING A FINGERPRINT FOR VERIFICATION OF A REFERENCE OBJECT

摘要

Disclosed herein are a method (300) and systems (100, 200) for generating a fingerprint (146) for verification of a reference object (104), such as a layer or ply during a composite laminate layup procedure. An exemplary method includes the steps of generating (302) at least one reference image (144) of the reference object; removing (304) lighting effects from the at least one reference image to generate at least one processed image; generating (306) a reference fingerprint for the reference object based on the at least one processed image; generating (308) at least one candidate image of a candidate object; generating (310) a candidate fingerprint for the candidate object based on the at least one candidate image; and comparing (312) the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint to determine a correlation. An alert is generated (314) based on the comparison. The alert is indicative that the correlation between the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint exists.
