G01N2021/8867 - CPC Classification

Classification description:

Investigating or analysing materials by the use of optical means, i.e. using sub-millimetre waves, infrared, visible or ultraviolet light; Systems specially adapted for particular applications; Investigating the presence of flaws or contamination; Scan or image signal processing specially adapted therefor, e.g. for scan signal adjustment, for detecting different kinds of defects, for compensating for structures, markings, edges; Grading and classifying of flaws using sequentially two or more inspection runs, e.g. coarse and fine, or detecting then analysing
