Zusammenfassung:A method of detecting defects in workpieces having curved or cylindrical surfaces such as shafts, crankshafts, camshafts, bearings and the like by illuminating the curved or cylindrical surfaces of the workpiece, rotating the workpiece and the curved or cylindrical surfaces about their common axis, recording a plurality of adjacent individual longitudinal elongate images representing discrete circumferentially adjacent, axially extending regions of the curved or cylindrical surfaces of the workpiece, assembling these recorded discrete circumferentially adjacent images into a continuous, coherent planar image, detecting surface irregularities in the continuous, planar image and determining whether such detected irregularities are of a magnitude sufficient to reject the workpiece.
