Modern smart and intelligent manufacturing is characterised by an increasing use of highly
engineered surfaces and quasi‐free form geometries, for example, by additive …

A laser based structured-light technique is proposed for use in three-dimensional
reconstruction. This technique is produced from an extensive experimental evaluation for the …

We describe the use of an automated co-ordinate measurement machine (CMM) directly or
in concert with a three-axis robot arm to map the distortion of a 3D structured light scanner's …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) scanning technologies could transform medical practices
by creating virtual tissue banks. In bone transplantation, new approaches are needed to …

A global stereovision system combined with a local vision sensor is an effective approach to
large-scale object measurement. However, obtaining the error distribution of such an …

Measuring the sag of electrical power transmission cables is an index for sensing their
internal tension and safety. In this paper, a simple photogrammetric solution is proposed to …

Photogrammetry inspection is a Machine Vision (MV) technique intensely employed to
assess the geometry of industrial assets across several measurement scales, ranging from …

New developments in vision algorithms prioritise identification and perception over accurate
coordinate measurement due to the complex problem of resolving object form and pose from …

Abstract 3D scanners have great potential to boost the efficiency of geometric inspection if
their traceability is established by identifying measurement bias and uncertainty. This article …

Positioning errors are a primary performance indicator of precision stages. Calibration of
stage positioning errors usually requires expensive, specialised instruments or artefacts. In …
