“…As a result, surface profile measurement has become an important issue in industrial inspection processes to reduce the defect rate and to fulfill the consumers’ demand. Many nondestructive three-dimensional (3D) surface profiling techniques have been developed to monitor product quality and to improve process efficiency [1,2,3,4]. Furthermore, different optical inspection methods have been proposed for 3D surface profile imaging with cost-effective, nondestructive, noncontact, high-speed, and high-accuracy solutions [5,6,7,8,9].…”
