Nonetheless, the involvement of scanning equipment and laser probe, as well as the measurement environment itself renders the process more vulnerable to noise which will cause failures in boundary detection, data segmentation and reconstruction of smooth curves and surfaces, thus putting forward the demand for noise reduction. Among the methods used in noise reduction of laser scanning data, the angular method is particularly suitable for scan line data. However, this method as well entails threshold that largely relies on the experience of engineers, which may introduce unwanted uncertainty. In this paper, an algorithm based on self-estimated angular threshold for reducing noise of laser scanning data is proposed. Firstly, the factors affecting angular threshold are analyzed and a mathematical model for SAT is established. Then the concrete algorithm that consists of judgment of impulse noise, modification of the coordinates and average filtering is described. Finally, a simulation test and an experimental case are employed to evaluate the performance of the algorithm on noise reduction of laser scanning data.","PeriodicalId":166465,"journal":{"name":"Precision Mechanical Measurements","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127868287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile we erected the mathematic model of errors of the length measurement system. Using the error model, we calibrated system errors being in the length measurement system. Also, we developed a set of experimental devices in which a laser interferometer was used to calibrate the length measurement system errors. After error calibrating, the accuracy of the measurement system was improved from original 36um/m to 14um/m. The fact that experiment results are consistent with the simulation results shows that the error mathematic model is suitable for the length measuring system.","PeriodicalId":166465,"journal":{"name":"Precision Mechanical Measurements","volume":"190 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132103894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, how to synthetically improve measurement speed, accuracy and sampling density is still a difficult problem. Thus in the present work, a novel 3D measurement method based on temporal encoding structured light by combining trapezoidal phase-shifting pattern and cyclic code pattern is proposed. Due to trapezoidal phase-shifting has the advantages of high sampling density and high-speed, the proposed method can maintain these advantages by using cyclic code to expand the range of trapezoidal phase-shifting. In addition, the correction scheme is designed to solve the problem of cycle dislocation. Finally, simulation experimental platform is built with 3ds max and MATLAB.

But the emissivity coefficient, which converts IR radiance to temperature, would vary with change of surface properties during rubbing, and this would bring dynamic error in measurement. In this study, we introduced a special tester, in the side of which compact IR thermometer are mounted. The thermometer enables us to measure contact surface temperature directly during tests of a rotating ring and a flat block which had a laser diode fixed under its contact surface. Based on Kirchhoff theory, the calculate model of the spectral emissivity is constructed. The normal emissivity at target region are measured through trigonometric ray consisted of InGaAsP laser source, PbSe detector and objective surface. So the temperature value from the IR thermometer could be corrected dynamically according to the real-time emissivity. The structure and the principle of the apparatus are described. The key technologies and the corresponding solution methods are briefly discussed. The error due to the rapid variations of emissivity value with change in contact conditions was shown, and it must be taken into consideration in radiometric temperature measurement in rubbing and could be especially useful in the verification of friction surface temperature predictions.","PeriodicalId":166465,"journal":{"name":"Precision Mechanical Measurements","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126066155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
