Calibration of an analogue probe
InactiveUS6909983B2Testing/calibration apparatusMechanical counters/curvatures measurementsClassical mechanicsZ-Coordinate
A method of calibrating a probe mounted on a machine in which the probe has a probe calibration matrix which relates the probe outputs in three orthogonal axes to the machine's X, Y and Z coordinate system. A datum ball mounted on the machine is bi-directionally scanned by the probe in one or more planes. For each plane, the mean direction of two approximate probe vectors in the plane is rotated about an axis orthogonal to that plane until the apparent material condition from the scan in each direction is the same. This process may be iterative. The mean values of the directions of the probe vectors for each plane are rotated, thus forming a corrected probe calibration matrix. The datum ball is preferably bi-directionally scanned in three orthogonal planes.

ActiveUS20080036755A1Make up for information lossMechanical counters/curvatures measurementsCharacter and pattern recognitionGraphicsColor mapping
An automated mechanism for measuring the amount of accuracy loss attributable to reverse engineering processes that use 3D scan data is discussed. The embodiments provide a mechanism that displays to a user the effect scan data editing and CAD remodeling operations have on scan data accuracy. Additionally, the user can choose the way the graphical display illustrates the error distribution on the model such as by color mapping and whisker mapping. The accuracy loss may be displayed to the user after finishing an editing / modeling command or during the previewing of the command thereby allowing a user to take appropriate action. Parameters may also be adjusted programmatically based on the amount of accuracy loss determined to be attributable to scan data editing or CAD remodeling operations.
