This contribution refers to the use of lines of equal light intensity, called isophotes, for detecting irregularities of free form surfaces in car body construction. The isophotes show irregularities of surface smoothness, of the Gaussian curvature and of the distribution of the surface normals. The algorithm described was realized in the CADCAM- system Ogsurf-P, a Volkswagen development for car body design and manufacturing.
