Planning method for determining an inspection path to be followed by a camera used in inspecting a car body surface in which a computer uses CAD or stored sensor data for the surface of interest to plan the route

摘要

Method for planning an inspection path (2) for at least an optical recording arrangement (4), e.g. for scanning a car body (3). The recording arrangement and car body are moved relative to each other using movement arrangements (5, 6). The movement path is planned using electronically stored construction data (8), especially CAD data and or data determined with a sensor relating to an area to be scanned. A planning computer (10) automatically plans the path so that a defined geometric relationship between the recording arrangement and the surface to be inspected is given.
