Abstract :
In the automotive industry, it is highly important that the exterior body panels be esthetically pleasing. One aspect of creating esthetically pleasing surfaces is to require that they be fair. A system that has proven useful for diagnosis of surface fairness problems is presented. How to choose a set of colors with perceptually uniform spacing is described, and the usefulness of a logarithmic scale for relating curvature to colors is shown
