Total Appearance Measurement Systems (TAMS™)
What Is Rhopoint Total Appearance Measurement Systems?
Rhopoint TAMS™ (Total Appearance Measurement Systems) is built for maximum appearance characterization of the surface quality of an automotive paint finishes.
Rhopoint TAMS™ is a new way of quantifying appearance quality inspired by a four-year collaboration between Rhopoint, Volkswagen AG and AUDI AG. This innovative new technology models the human perception of surface appearance quality, providing new parameters that revolutionize the understanding and communication of visual appearance information.
A high-quality paint finish is not only described by color but also brilliance (“gloss”) and smoothness, often referred to as DOI (Distinctness of Image). This can only be achieved if the overall surface finish displays both high QUALITY and HARMONY. Color management and appearance is essential in many areas of today’s automotive manufacturing environment and requires the ability to measure subtle differences in color and appearance. The measuring methods used for characterizing the visual impression have been highly complex and mainly the domain of experts. To obtain a quick and uncomplicated statements concerning the visual quality of a surface, we worked with a team of experts from the automotive industry to develop a new measuring device which reproduces human perception – the Rhopoint TAMS™ (Total Appearance Measurement System)
Rhopoint TAMS™ is an innovative measuring system for characterizing the visual quality of functional and decorative surfaces, and uses four parameters to produce a comprehensive description of the visual sensation: Contrast, image sharpness, waviness, and dominant structure size (dimension).
Rhopoint TAMS™ mimid the functions of the human eye and mapping the mechanisms that take place in the brain using double focus image technology and imaging and computing systems at a high-tech level. The Rhopoint TAMS records the images at different focus levels and computes the characteristics with the aid of perception algorithms.
