An Introduction to Morphological Filters in Surface Metrology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acting as the complementary tool to the mean-line based filtration techniques, e.g. the Gaussian filter, morphological filters are function oriented and relevant to geometrical features of surfaces. This paper aims to present an introduction to morphological filters in surface metrology. By introducing mathematical morphology, morphological filters offer more capabilities than the early envelope system. The variation of morphological filters includes: the closing filter, the opening filter, the alternating symmetrical filter and multi-scale space techniques. The existing algorithms concerning with the implementation of morphological filters are presented. A couple of typical applications of morphological filters are illustrated as well.

Morphological Method for Surface Metrology and Dimensional Metrology Based on Alpha Shape
Morphological filters are useful tools as they are commonly employed in surface metrology and dimensional metrology, serving for surface texture analysis and data smoothing respectively. Compared to the mean-line filtering techniques, such as the Gaussian filter, morphological filters have the merits of compact support, no need to remove form, and being relevant to geometrical properties of sur...
متن کاملApplications of Morphological Operations in Surface Metrology and Dimensional Metrology
In contrast to the widely used mean-line based evaluation techniques, the capabilities of morphological methods are not fully recognized in practice. Morphological operations, e.g. dilation, erosion, closing and opening, are useful tools in surface metrology and dimensional metrology. This paper presents a variety of novel applications of morphological operations in association with several of ...
متن کاملFast algorithm for Morphological Filters
In surface metrology, morphological filters, which evolved from the envelope filtering system (E-system) work well for functional prediction of surface finish in the analysis of surfaces in contact. The naive algorithms are time consuming, especially for areal data, and not generally adopted in real practice. A fast algorithm is proposed based on the alpha shape. The hull obtained by rolling th...
