PROCESS FOR APPLYING COATING COMPOSITIONS HAVING DIFFERENT LEVELING PROPERTIES AND/OR SAG RESISTANCE TO DIFFERENT TARGET AREAS OF AN OBJECT
The present invention relates to a process for applying at least two coating compositions having different leveling properties and/or a different sag resistance to an object comprising a plurality of target areas wherein at least part of the plurality of target areas has different properties.

This allows to coat areas of an object having different orientations relative to each other in a high quality because the leveling properties and/or sag resistance of the coating composition required for target areas having different orientations can be matched to the orientation of the target area(s). Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of the inventive process for coating target areas of an object having different orientations relative to each other. Finally, the present invention relates to a system for applying – utilizing an application device – at least two coating compositions having different leveling properties and/or a different sag resistance to an object comprising a plurality of target areas, wherein at least part of the plurality of target areas having different properties.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBJECT RECOGNITION UTILIZING COLOR IDENTIFICATION AND/OR MACHINE LEARNING
Aspects described herein generally relate to methods and systems for object recognition utilizing luminescence identification and/or machine learning. More specifically, aspects described herein relate to methods and systems for recognition of at least one luminescent object being present in a scene using data generated by a luminescent object recognition system and further data on the environment of the scene. This allows to boost the accuracy of the object recognition to near 100% in cases with ambiguous luminescence identification. Moreover, aspects described therein relate to a method for training an object recognition neural network using data generated by a luminescent object recognition system as well as methods and systems for object recognition using the trained neural network. Since the luminescent objects are recognized by the luminescent object recognition system at pixel level, highly accurate bounding boxes or segmentation can be created automatically from the output data of the luminescent object recognition system and the labelled images can be directly used for training of the object recognition neural network to improve its performance. This renders time- consuming manual labeling of images superfluous and allows to generate neural networks which are specifically trained on the respective scene, thus reducing the number of objects each neural network must recognize to the number of objects occurring at the scene. This allows to reduce the necessary training time as well as the computing power necessary for object recognition using the trained neural network.

Aspects described herein generally relate to methods and systems for generating display images of effect coatings. More specifically, aspects described herein relate to methods and systems for ad-hoc generation of high quality images displaying the color as well as the texture of effect coating(s) without the use of rendering techniques using predefined illumination conditions and object data of virtual objects. Instead, a visual 3D effect, i.e. the color travel associated with effect coating(s), is obtained by correlating an axis of a color image with an ordered list of measurement geometries prior to mapping the ordered list of measurement geometries and associated measured or scaled CIEL*a*b* values to the correlated row in the color image. A texture layer is added to the generated color image using an aspecular-dependent scaling function to reproduce the appearance of the texture with respect to different aspecular angles. Use of scaled L* values during color image generation avoids the loss of color hue information in the gloss region which is essential for performing visual color matching operations. The generated display images are especially suitable for assessing characteristics of effect coating(s) or for assessing color differences between two or more effect coating(s) based on the generated display images by arranging them side by side in horizontal order. It is also possible to transpose the display images by swapping the x- and y-axis of the images such that an optimized arrangement in vertical order, e. g. for mobile devices, is obtained.
