New Method for Free-form Surface Fitting in Precision Metrology

چکیده
To assess if a given manufactured artifact conform to a template CAD model, the artifact is measured by a coordinate measuring system to obtain a point cloud. The point cloud is compared to the CAD model by fitting the point cloud to the CAD model. One of approaches is based on a method required to determine footpoint parameters. The footpoints are the projection of the points in the point cloud onto the CAD surface. In this paper we introduce a new efficient method for estimating footpoint parameters.

Template Matching of Freeform Surfaces Based on Orthogonal Distance Fitting for Precision Metrology
Freeform surfaces are widely used in advanced optical and mechanical devices. In order to assess the form quality of a freeform surface, it is required to match the measurement surface with the design template. To improve the matching efficiency and accuracy, the whole procedure is divided into two stages, rough matching and final fitting. A new rough matching method, called the structured regi...
متن کاملLeast Squares Orthogonal Distance Fitting of Implicit Curves and Surfaces
Curve and surface fitting is a relevant subject in computer vision and coordinate metrology. In this paper, we present a new fitting algorithm for implicit surfaces and plane curves which minimizes the square sum of the orthogonal error distances between the model feature and the given data points. By the new algorithm, the model feature parameters are grouped and simultaneously estimated in te...

The main objectives of multi-axis machining are to achieve perfect surface quality, precision, and speed without any need for re-machining. Within cutting processes, a strong integration of technologies such as virtual machining and inspection algorithms is important [1]. Closed Loop Machining (CLM) is an important method to maximise the efficiency of cutting processes, and automatic data colle...
متن کاملA Recursive Approximation Approach of non-iid Lognormal Random Variables Summation in Cellular Systems
Co-channel interference is a major factor in limiting the capacity and link quality in cellular communications. As the co-channel interference is modeled by lognormal distribution, sum of the co-channel interferences of neighboring cells is represented by the sum of lognormal Random Variables (RVs) which has no closed-form expression. Assuming independent, identically distributed (iid) RVs, the...
متن کاملParadigm shifts in surface metrology . Part I . Historical philosophy
Surface texture and its measurement are becoming the most critical factors and important functionality indicators in the performance of high precision and nanoscale devices and components. Surface metrology as a discipline is currently undergoing a huge paradigm shift: from profile to areal characterization, from stochastic to structured surfaces, and from simple geometries to complex free-form...
