Abstract
In many areas of industry and technology there is a very important requirement to obtain shape information from physical objects. The range of shapes which need to be measured is almost infinite, but can be split into two general classifications:
-
i)
Nominally regular geometric forms, such as planes, cylinders, cones, straight lines, etc. These can be described with simple mathematical functions defined by a small number of measured coordinate points.
-
ii)
Free-form curves and surfaces. These generally need to be defined or approximated using more complex mathematical functions, and typically require a large number of measurement points to describe the shape with acceptable accuracy.
