ABSTRACT:
Human inspection of an object (12) having a light-reflective areas (20) thereon arrayed in individual arrays (21) is enhanced by first capturing the image of selected portions of the arrays via one or more image capture devices (34). The images are processed to create a single image frame in which like portions of like arrays of light-reflective are uniformly spaced and oriented in a two-dimensional array having large scale regularity. The single image frame is then displayed on a display (48) for observation by a human operator (29). Because the displayed image frame of the light-reflective areas has large scale regularity, the operator bility to detect defects associated with missing or misaligned light-reflective areas will be enhanced.
