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 24):
The detection method according to  claim 14 , wherein the defect is detected at the point when at least one parameter at the point is not comprised in an interval centered around the mean value of the parameter on the set of points of the surface.
