Abstract: In reverse engineering, complex free-form shaped parts are usually digitized quickly and accurately using the newly arisen non-contact measuring methods. However, they produce extremely dense point data at great rate. Not all the point data are necessary for generating a surface CAD model. Moreover, owing to inefficiencies in storing and manipulating them it takes a long time to generate a surface CAD model from the measured data. Therefore, an important task is to reduce the large amount of data. After analyzing the existing methods developed by other researchers, a new data reduction method, which based on bi-directional point cloud slicing, is presented in this paper. Using the proposed method, point cloud can be reduced while considering geometric features in both two parametric directions. Finally, a face model is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and experimental results are given.

Abstract: The error compensation technique is used to improve the accuracy of non-contact high-precision measuring system. To ensure the accuracy of the high-precision non-contact four-coordinate blade profile measuring system, the geometric and thermal error compensation model is proposed in this paper. The system is composed of three orthogonal coordinate axes (X, Y and Z) and a rotation axis R. The coordinate transformation matrix can be calculated by the mathematical model of rigid body which is established according to the related theoretical analysis. Three-beam interferometer and standard gauge block are adopted to verify the geometric error of the system. In the thermal deformation error compensation, wavelet neural network model is established. The thermal and geometric error compensation methods are analyzed and the experimental results are given.

Abstract: The detection technique of small module gears has a very important research and application value. In this paper, a composite measuring method is presented based on combining traditional mechanical contact measurement with optical image non-contact measurement. First of all, this paper analyzes the basic principle of composite probe composed of optical fiber stylus and CCD imaging system. The tail-end of the stylus is shaped into a micro-sphere, where a small refection mirror is designed. When the laser is transmitted through the fiber, a round facula can be seen from the CCD camera. The micro-sphere is kept contact with the surface of the measured gear at the time of measuring and the error of the measured gear will be reflected by the offset of the facula center. Meanwhile, the sub-pixel extraction algorithm for the center of facula image is presented. Then the calibration principle and method of probe system is analyzed in detail. Finally, the data processing principle of the presented method is discussed for gear measurement.

Abstract: Rapid reverse technology is one of the key technologies with which the enterprises develop new product and occupy the market rapidly. How to realize the reverse measurement and CAD geometry reconstruction rapidly and accurately is always the most important focus for the researchers. Based on the laser scanning technology, the realization principle of the laser line scanning measuring system is presented and the approaches to improve the precision are also analysed in the paper. The self-adaptation adjustment of the probe position can move the light knife image to the optimal imaging area of the CCD according to the calibration result, which will ensure the measurement precision of the CCD image. With the inner velocity loop and outer position loop feedback control, the simple axis position precision of the mechanical system can be controlled within 5um. In order to pick up the points of the light knife centre rationally and exactly, the reconstruction-disperse iteration algorithm is put forward. After processed by different iteration times, the optimal points can be obtained. The reconstruction method of curve and surface based on NURBS is also given. The paper presents the application and realization of the system at last, which realizes the curve and surface measurement with high precision.
