Performance Measures for Geometric Fitting in the NIST Algorithm Testing and Evaluation Program for Coordinate Measurement Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Algorithm Testing and Evaluation Program for Coordinate Measurement Systems (ATEP-CMS) is a Special Test Service offered under the NIST Calibration Program. ATEP-CMS evaluates the performance of geometric fitting software used in coordinate measurement systems. It is a Special Test because it is a new type of NIST service, experimental in nature and unsupported by historical data. This report documents and explains the rationale of the performance measures used in ATEP-CMS and analyzes the uncertainties of those measures.

Evaluation of One- and Two-sided Geometric
Recent work in testing and comparing maximum-inscribed, minimum-circumscribed, and minimum-zone (Chebyshev) fitting algorithms indicates that serious problems can exist in present commercial software packages. 1. Introduction The historical motivation for this work came as a result of the 1988 GIDEP alert [1] which warned of possible significant measurement uncertainty arising from least-square...
متن کاملTesting of Coordinate Measuring System
Coordinate measuring systems (CMSs) determine dimensional (length-based) characteristics of mechanical parts by analyzing 3-dimensional point data acquired on part surfaces. Data analysis software can contribute significantly to the total measurement error of a CMS. Factors affecting software performance include the choice of analysis method, the quality of software implementation, and characte...

F i g u re 1 Coord ina t e measu r ing system—data analysis software analyzes coordinate data, producing surface fits. "any piece of equipment which collects three dimensional coordinates (points), calculates and displays additional information using the measured points." [1]. Figure 1 displays a high level view of how a CMS works. A CMS—such as a coordinate measurement machine, vision system, ...

متن کاملA New Method for Root Detection in Minirhizotron Images: Hypothesis Testing Based on Entropy-Based Geometric Level Set Decision
In this paper a new method is introduced for root detection in minirhizotron images for root investigation. In this method firstly a hypothesis testing framework is defined to separate roots from background and noise. Then the correct roots are extracted by using an entropy-based geometric level set decision function. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on real captured images in tw...
