Web-Based Virtual Measurement, Analysis and Evaluation Software Development for 3D Surface Topography

Abstract

This paper is aimed to develop and implement a web-based 3D surface evaluation, analysis and simulation software. The software can provide users from all around the world with a means to conduct surface study through the Internet. The software automatically calculates all 3D surface roughness parameters and has options for the user to view various 2D and 3D graphical representations of the entire surface. All outputs calculated are viewed through a web browser or can be downloaded to a user computer, giving the user a complete numerical and graphical representation of any surface for which they have measured the surface data.
