Abstract
This paper describes a method to adoptively select sample points on a 2 dimensional profile based upon interpolation between sample points. The interpolant uses the measured deviations from nominal position and surface normals at a pair of sample points to predict the form errors between these samples. Additional sample points are selected if the interpolant exceeds a set of sampling criteria and the evaluation process is repeated iteratively until no new sample points are identified. An example of the algorithm’s performance using data containing non-random errors from a machining process is given at’ the end of the paper.
