"Version: 20201201"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references.1. Terms, definitions and standards / Richard Leach -- 2. State-of-the-art in point cloud analysis / Sofia Catalucci and Nicola Senin -- 3. Laser triangulation / Mohammed A Isa, Samanta Piano and Richard Leach -- 4. Close-range photogrammetry / Danny Sims-Waterhouse, Richard Leach and Samanta Piano -- 5. Digital fringe projection profilometry / Rui Chen, Jing Xu and Song Zhang -- 6. Machine learning approaches / Joe Eastwood, Danny Sims-Waterhouse and Samanta Piano -- 7. Precision freeform metrology / Chi Fai Cheung, Lingbao Kong and Mingjun Ren -- 8. Performance verification for optical co-ordinate metrology / Adam Thompson and Nicholas Southon.Advances in Optical Form and Coordinate Metrology covers the latest advances in the development of optical form and coordinate measuring instruments plus the manipulation of point cloud data. The book presents some basic principles of the optical measurement methods and takes a deeper look at the operation of the instruments and the new application areas where they can be applied, with an emphasis on advanced manufacturing. Latest advances discussed include the drive towards faster instruments for in-process applications, the ability to measure highly complex objects (in e.g. additive manufacturing), performance verification and advances in the use of machine learning to enhance data analysis. Part of IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics.Engineers, instrument developers, metrologists and PhD students.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Professor Richard Leach currently holds the Chair in Metrology in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham where he has established The Manufacturing Metrology Team to investigate information-rich metrology of surfaces, to support next-generation manufacturing technologies. Drawing on concepts such as machine learning and sensor fusion, his research is changing the approach to quality control in manufacturing. Prior to his current position, he spent 25 years at the National Physical Laboratory and led a team in surface and nanometrology. He is an internationally recognized researcher in the field of surface topography measurement, particularly in the area of traceability for areal surface metrology, including optical instruments. He has over 500 publications, including 8 textbooks. He is the European Editor-in-Chief for Precision Engineering journal. Richard is a visiting professor at Loughborough University and the Harbin Institute of Technology.Title from PDF title page (viewed on January 14, 2021).
