Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for generating a fingerprint for verification of a reference object, such as a layer or ply during a composite laminate layup procedure. An exemplary method includes generating a plurality of images of the reference object from a plurality of angles, removing at least one lighting effect from at least one reference image to generate at least one processed image, generating a reference fingerprint for the reference object based on the at least one processed image, generating at least one candidate image of a candidate object, generating a candidate fingerprint for the candidate object based on the at least one candidate image, comparing the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint to determine whether a correlation exists between the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint, and generating an alert based on the comparison of the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint.

Claim (Index 16):
A system for generating a fingerprint for verification of a reference object, the system comprising:\n at least one detector including a plurality of lenses to receive light reflected from the reference object at a plurality of different angles, the at least one detector configured to:\n generate a plurality of images of the reference object from a plurality of angles; \n a signal processor configured to receive an output from the at least one detector, the signal processor configured to:\n generate a light-neutral image based on a comparison of the plurality of images to each other; \n generate a reference fingerprint for the reference object based on the light-neutral image; \n receive a candidate fingerprint for a candidate object based on at least one candidate image; \n compare the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint to determine whether a correlation exists between the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint; and \n generate an alert based on the comparison of the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint, wherein the alert is indicative that the correlation between the candidate fingerprint and the reference fingerprint exists.
