Abstract

Refinement of industrial (e.g. car-body) surfaces is performed by evaluation of the shape and distribution of reflection lines or highlight lines. In the paper, we propose a method to semi-automatically evaluate and improve the quality of the highlight line structures. The correspondence between the shape of the highlight lines and the surface parameters is highly complicated and strongly nonlinear. In the paper, a genetic process is proposed for the computation of the parameters (control points) of the surfaces, that corresponds to the corrected highlight line structure.
