Selection of the Best Model of Distribution of Measurement Points in Contact Coordinate Measurements of Free-Form Surfaces of Products

Abstract

The article presents a new method for determining the distribution of measurement points, which can be used in the case of contact coordinate measurements of curvilinear surfaces of products. The developed method is based on multi-criteria decision analysis. In the case of the new method, the selection of the distribution of measurement points on free-form surfaces is carried out based on the analysis of five different criteria. The selection of the best model of the distribution of measurement points results from the accuracy of coordinate measurements, the time needed to complete measurement tasks, the number of measurement points, the accuracy of the substitute surface representing the measured free-form surface and the area where measurement points are located. The purpose of using the developed method of the distribution of measurement points is to increase the performance of coordinate measurements primarily by increasing the automation of strategy planning of measurements of curvilinear surfaces and improving the accuracy of measurements of free-form surfaces of products. The new method takes into account various aspects of coordinate measurements to determine the final model of the distribution of measurement points on measured surfaces of products, thereby increasing the probability of the proper determination (i.e., identifying the highest deviations of a product) of the location of measurement points on the surfaces of a measured object. The paper presents an example of the application of the created method, which concerns the selection of the best model of the distribution of measurement points on a selected free-form surface. This example is based on, among others, the results of experimental investigations, which were carried out by using the ACCURA II coordinate measuring machine equipped with the VAST XXT measuring probe and the Calypso measurement software. The results of investigations indicate a significant reduction in time of coordinate measurements of products when using the new method for determining the distribution of measurement points. However, shortening the time of coordinate measurements does not reduce their accuracy.

Analysis of the Rendering of Deep and Short Art Effects Under the Multimedia Background Taking into Account the 3D Ink Rendering Algorithm

“…It expresses a strong contrast between the scenery and the picture through the combination and matching of different materials, colors and textures. From a visual point of view, it has a strong stereoscopic effect [8][9]. In 3D ink rendering, various materials can be used for painting layout: first, select the appropriate size, shape and height relationship; secondly, arrange the overall composition according to the design requirements; finally, put the main objects on the screen into a certain spatial level , making it a whole.…”

Thresholding Methods for Reduction in Data Processing Errors in the Laser-Textured Surface Topography Measurements

“…Generally, all of the measurement errors can be selected into those directly related to the measuring methods [ 25 ], caused by the digitisation [ 26 ] or data processing [ 27 ], software [ 28 ], object measuring [ 29 ] or other errors [ 30 ]. Furthermore, those errors found when the measurement process occurs are defined as noise [ 31 ], or in particular, measurement noise [ 32 ].…”

Selection of Methods of Surface Texture Characterisation for Reduction of the Frequency-Based Errors in the Measurement and Data Analysis Processes

“…The whole process of surface texture evaluation [11], including the measurement and analysis of the results obtained, can be fraught with many issues that influence the accuracy of the studies performed. All of those errors can be roughly divided into those typical to the measuring method [12] and those caused by the digitisation or data processing [13], software [14], measuring object [15] or other errors [16,17]. One of the types of errors is facilitated when the measurement process occurs.…”
