An installed door can look misaligned because the camera is tilted. A training set can show the difference between a visual impression and a measured reveal. The Woodwork Institute runs a shop drawing inspection program. micro1’s workplace video listing names cabinetmaking and woodwork among its settings. A static quality-inspection dataset and a first-person recording project are separate offers with separate requirements.

On an owned demo cabinet, compare an even gap shown from an oblique angle with a visibly uneven gap confirmed by a gauge. Put the measured checkpoints in a simple elevation sketch. Add a drawer-front example with another finish to see whether the model overuses contrast. The reviewer should specify whether the issue is gap consistency, alignment, or evidence too weak to judge. Use neutral acceptance rules created for the exercise.

Show the gauge and the defect without including a client’s drawings, address, or proprietary hardware detail. Confirm who owns a finished cabinet design before photographing production work.

Original Fiund exercise

A dark edge is not necessarily a wider reveal

An original paper cabinet mockup is captured with front light and side light. A drawn scale supports a toy comparison.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1Reference viewLeft and right reveal targets 3 mm; no acceptance tolerance given.
2Side-lit imageRight edge appears dark and broad, but ruler shows 3 mm on both sides.
3Front-lit imageDark region disappears; scaled gaps remain 3 mm on both sides.

Question for the model

What should the model label about the right reveal?

Show the reference answer and checks

Both measured reveals are 3 mm in records 2 and 3, matching the reference value. The extra dark width changes with lighting and should be labeled as a visual artifact rather than measured gap asymmetry. The example does not specify an acceptance tolerance.

  • Using shadow width as a physical dimension
  • Treating one image artifact as proof of misalignment

Fields to preserve

lighting_view
Documents capture conditions
calibrated_gap
Separates physical measurement from appearance
side_id
Aligns left and right observations

Test another case

Give unequal scaled gaps under both lighting setups; score real asymmetry separately from shadow.

Use owned mockups; no actual cabinet drawings, customer homes, installation or quality grading.
