Overview Using our dented “mini-hood” and ourQuidientReality™ prototype, we previously demonstrated the ability to create 3D dent profiles from a single image that measured within 28-micron RMSE in comparison to a highly accurate Zeiss Comet structured light system. We also provided a method for using this measured profile to determine a reference size…

Overview To test the profile measuring accuracy ofQuidientReality™ as a hail dent recorder, we built a ½-scale automotive panel (“mini-hood”) using metals and automotive finishes comparable to a typical automobile. We dented the panel to simulate hail damage. Next, we contracted with a third-party company to measure the mini-hood using a highly accurate…

  1. Introduction Vehicle dent measurement is one of many applications of Quidient’sSceneReconstructionand Processing Engine technology. A dent is a feature of a surface that can be sensed, represented and processed like other features. Referencing Figure 1 and Figure 2, this document describes concepts of dent measurement in vehicle panels and describes…
