DCO

DCO · Digital Colour Optics

What brings you here?

A new way to look at surfaces? An expert image comparison? Or curiosity about colour and geometry? Start with your question.

01

New methods, optical calibration, quality control, pilot projects

For…

Optical metrology · Quality control (QC) · Surface inspection · Manufacturing · Innovation partners

Demonstration available. Roughness mapping not yet validated.

Recommended journey

  1. Discover the demonstrations

    DCO · available examples and their evidence status.

  2. See the Metal pilot and report

    HEUREKA shows the observation, comparison and report: choose “Metal Surfaces”. Then return to DCO for the roughness mapping question — the demonstration is not DCO validation.

    Return to DCO afterwards: Metal hypothesis
  3. Test the hypothesis — with your images

    DCO · can established roughness descriptors map to image-derived dimensional measures? Partner images, expert assessments and existing roughness measurements are the next step.

Your outcome

See what is already demonstrated, understand the open roughness hypothesis, and identify how your sample images and reference measurements could contribute to a joint test.

02

Retinal images and expert validation

For…

Ophthalmology · Retinal imaging · Medical research · Expert validation partners

Partner images pending. No validated diagnostic claim.

Recommended journey

  1. See the Retina pilot

    HEUREKA shows the observation, comparison and report: choose “Fundus Images”. Then return to DCO: which image differences are measurable and meaningful to an expert? Not DCO validation.

    Return to DCO afterwards: Retina validation question
  2. Understand the comparison principle

    DCO · draft method, not clinical evidence.

  3. Prepare partner validation

    DCO · template for curated retinal images and expert assessments.

Your outcome

Distinguish the existing demonstration from clinical evidence and see where a small, expert-assessed image set fits into validation.

03

Explore colour, geometry and optical references

For…

Optics enthusiasts · Educators · Students · Researchers · Curious visitors

Visual explanation and draft method — not validation.

Recommended journey

  1. See colour optics and reference patterns

    DCO · illustrated overview of colour, geometry and metrics.

  2. From observation to reference

    DCO · the principles behind transformation, comparison and measurement.

  3. Explore optical work within ADI

    DCO measures; ADI interprets. Go to ADI to explore reference series, null lines and series comparison in their interpretation context; DCO remains the place for measurement principles and expert validation.

    Return to DCO afterwards: Measurement principles

Your outcome

Get a visual introduction to colour optics and colour metrics, then explore the method or the work within ADI according to your interest.
