Abstract
A method for evaluating the surface of a body component of a motor vehicle is provided. A virtual polygonal network of the surface is generated, at least one variable which characterizes a curvature of the polygonal network at at least one node of the polygonal network is determined, and at least one output variable which characterizes a surface defect of the surface is determined based on the variable which characterizes the curvature using an artificial neural network in order to evaluate the surface.
