surface roughness is a significant parameter which determines the efficiency of optical components. surface damages induced by grinding strongly influence the mechanical strength and optical quality of optical glasses. it is meaningful to rapid evaluate the surface roughness through the measurement of different grinding parameters. in this study, a cup diamond wheel (d64) is used in grinding pr...

Surface speckle pattern intensity distribution resulting from laser light scattering from a rough surface contains various information about the surface geometrical and physical properties. A surface roughness measurement technique based on the texture analysis of surface speckle pattern texture images is put forward. In the surface roughness measurement technique, the speckle pattern texture i...

The ability to measure terrain roughness is essential for safe and e cient navigation of outdoor mobile robots. This paper describes a prototype system consisting of a colour camera and a laser stripe generator for the measurement of ground surface roughness. With outdoor mobile robotic applications in mind, the system provides a cheap, fast and robust alternative to other methods of roughness ...

In an interferometer which uses a reference surface, the measured surface heights correspond to the difference between the test and reference surfaces. To accurately determine the rms roughness of supersmooth surfaces, the effects of the reference surface roughness need to be removed. One technique for doing this involves averaging a number of uncorrelated measurements of a mirror to generate a...

the growing demand for enhanced esthetic appearance has led to great developments in bleaching products. the exposure of hard tissues of the tooth to bleaching agents can affect the roughness of the enamel surface. the freshly bleached enamel surface exposed to various surface treatments such as fluoride and other remineralizing agents have been assessed in this study. the aim of this experimen...
