Wrong forum for neffing.what's this weird stuff?
Where are my free ipods?
bots are getting clever.
In case you're real: this is a forum. Ask your question directly.
Actually a pretty interesting question. You could start by searching on image processing and surface feature detection or analysis. I would be fairly confident that some level of success could be achieved. The challenges would probably be reliability across different models with different style features, and varying accuracy rates dependent on lighting, angle, and other factors. Given a smooth, unbroken, glossy surface containing x number of dents, and controlled environmental factors, you could probably get good results. Results in the field would be another story altogether.
Meh, so long as the lighting is correct, simply looking for "circles" would probably get you 90% there. Getting much higher than that is going to be much more complicated.
