Advances in Optical Form and Coordinate Metrology 1st Edition By Richard Leach
Advances in Optical Form and Coordinate Metrology 1st Edition by Richard Leach covers the latest advancements in optical measuring instruments, point cloud data manipulation, and their application in advanced manufacturing. The book emphasizes the move towards faster, non-contact methods for measuring complex shapes, such as those produced by additive manufacturing. Key TopicsThe book delves into specific optical measurement methods and related data analysis techniques:
- Terms, definitions, and standards: The book outlines basic metrology and coordinate terms and definitions, including the current framework for ISO specification standards.
- Point cloud analysis: It discusses the representation, processing (pre-processing, partitioning, fitting, and registration), and uncertainty estimation in 3D point clouds, which are central to industrial metrology.
- Laser triangulation: This section covers the principles, sensors, system types, and applications of laser triangulation, as well as the impact of surface properties on measurements.
- Close-range photogrammetry: It includes chapters on modern photogrammetry, camera models, and the characterization and calibration of systems.
- Digital fringe projection profilometry: The text presents methods for fringe pattern generation, analysis, phase unwrapping, calibration, and high-speed realization.
- Machine learning approaches: It highlights the use of artificial intelligence for stereo matching, phase unwrapping, and point cloud analysis (segmentation, registration, and completion).
- Precision freeform metrology: This topic addresses the challenges and state-of-the-art methods for measuring and characterizing complex freeform surfaces, a growing need with additive manufacturing.
- Performance verification: The book reviews methods and the new ISO framework for verifying the performance of optical coordinate measurement systems.
