Abstract:
A method for detecting a defect on a surface ( 12 ) by multidirectional lighting includes acquiring a plurality of images of the surface ( 12 ) using an optical device ( 14 ) having an optical axis, each image being acquired with a lighting of the surface along a lighting direction (E, E′) given for each point of the surface ( 12 ) and an optical direction (O), the images being acquired with different lighting directions (E, E′) or different combinations and/or with different optical directions (O); for each point, calculating a plurality of parameters, the parameters including coefficients of an equation characterizing the response of said point of the surface as a function of the lighting direction (E, E′) and an observation direction (B, B′); and deducing from the calculated parameters whether the surface ( 12 ) has a defect at said point.

Claim (Index 16):
The detection method according to  claim 15 , wherein the optical direction is substantially perpendicular to the surface.
