A light pen coordinate measuring system (LPCMS) is a kind of vision-based portable coordinate measuring technique. It implements coordinate measurement by analyzing the image of a light pen, which has several control points and a probe. The relative positions of control points need to be determined before measurement and serve as the measuring basis in LPCMS. How to accurately calibrate the relative positions of control points is the most important issue in system calibration. In this paper, a new method of control point position calibration based on a traditional coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is proposed. A light pen is fastened to the measuring arm of a CMM and performs accurate translational movement driven by the CMM. A camera is used to capture the images of control points at different positions, and the corresponding readings of the CMM are recorded at the same time. By establishing a separate coordinate system for each control point, the relative positions of the control points can be transformed to the differences of a series of translation vectors. Experiments show that the calibration repeatability of control point positions can reach 10 μm and the standard deviation of measurement of the whole LPCMS can reach 30 μm. A CMM is used to generate accurate translation, which provides a high accuracy basis of calibration. Through certain mathematical treatment, tremendous data acquired by moving the light pen to tens of thousands of different positions can be processed in a simple way, which can reduce the influence of random error. Therefore, the proposed method provides a high-accuracy solution of control point position calibration for LPCMS.

Light pen coordinate measuring system is a kind of vision-based portable coordinate measuring technique. It implements coordinate measuring by analyzing the image of light pen, which has several control points. With the relative positons of the control points determined and the pixel coordinates of their image points acquired by image processing, the posture of light pen can be obtained by solving perspective- n-point problem. Therefore, the control point positons serve as the measuring basis of the whole system. However, the accuracy of existing calibration methods is not satisfactory. In this paper, a new method of control point positon calibration, which utilizes traditional coordinate measuring machine, is proposed. The light pen is fasten to the measuring arm of a coordinate measuring machine and moves along a three dimensional grid route driven by the machine. A stationary camera is located in front of the machine to capture the image of light pen at each node of the route. For each control point, an individual coordinate system is established. Then the relative positions of control points can be transformed into the differences of a series of translation vectors. Experiments show that, with the proposed method, the accuracy of light pen coordinate measuring system can reach 30m within 10 meters.

The possible reason for the incorrect form deviations calculated using an algorithm available in the selected software of coordinate measuring machine was identified. This method is available in the Calypso software and it is based on local deviations calculated at nominal points. The analysis was made for the selected examples of free-form surfaces. There are presented the results of numerical investigations based on simulations of coordinate measurements of selected object. The measured points were generated with assumed values of scatter in relation to the nominal profiles of the analyzed product. The simulations were made using 3 selected methods for computing the form deviations and various distances between the measured points. In order to verify the results of simulation studies there were made experimental investigations. The experimental investigations were done using selected coordinate measuring system and chosen measurement parameters. The results of performed measurements confirm the simulation results.

To develop a high precision Micro Coordinate Measuring Machine (Micro-CMM), it is important to evaluate an X-Y stage on the Micro-CMM. A precision multi-probe measurement system has been designed and developed for simultaneously measuring the yaw and straightness errors of the X-Y stage. In the system, an autocollimator measures the yaw error of the stage, and two laser interferometers measure the profile of a standard mirror which is fixed on the X-Y stage. The straightness error is reconstructed by the application of simultaneous equation and least-squares methods, and the uncertainty associated with the multi-probe method is simulated. When the interval of the laser interferometers equals 10 mm, the standard deviation of multi-probe method using the high accuracy autocollimator and the laser interferometers is about 10 nm. The simulation results satisfy our purpose for the uncertainty of 50 nm, and practical considerations are discussed.

A bran-new style coordinate measuring system with 3-PUU parallel mechanism and its advantages was proposed which could realize 3D measurement with only one linear grating and two precision guides. Firstly, measuring space with a 0.05mm error of structure parameter as target was explored based on 6 bars direct kinematics model, workspace and error model, and then the principle of maximum measuring space was presented to elaborate the relationship between measuring space and length of bar. Then in order to enlarge the scale of measuring space of Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), improve the measuring accuracy and flexibility of CMM, the key dimensions and positional parameters of CMM were optimization designed according to the direct kinematics model and the principle of maximum measuring space. Finally the deformation of key components was processed by Finite Element Method (FEM) according to the motion characteristics and parameters of the new CMM prototype, so that the affect of deformation to measuring accuracy can be controlled and decreased. Results are shown that the measuring space of CMM is 1100mm in x axis, 535mm in y axis, 426mm in z axis; deformation of beam is the main reason to influence the measuring accuracy and should be offset after calibration.

Satellite laser altimetry is one of the most advanced information acquisition technologies in Earth observation system. It can provide high-accuracy elevation information, however, due to the lack of detail intensity information, its planimetric accuracy is usually worse than the elevation accuracy. Gaofen 7 (GF-7) satellite scheduled for launch in 2019 will be equipped with laser altimeter, footprint camera, stereo mapping camera, etc. The laser altimeter together with the footprint camera was designed to provide high accuracy ground control point of satellite mapping. The laser altimeter can provide the high-accuracy elevation information and the joint processing of footprint camera and stereo mapping camera can provide high-accuracy planimetric information. Therefore, this paper mainly studies the technology of extracting high-accuracy control points based on GF-7 satellite’s altimeter, footprint camera and stereo mapping camera using a simulated dataset extracted from Quickbird image and ICESat altimetric data.

A measuring system that can be used to inspect planar cam contours and to evaluate their follower displacement, velocity, and acceleration curves with a higher degree of accuracy without the aid of approximating follower displacements in traditional methods is constructed. Based on the geometric relationships at the contact point between a planar cam profile and its follower, analytical descriptions that can be utilized to determine the follower displacement curve and its derivatives are first identified. To verify the feasibility and accuracy of the algorithms proposed for the measuring system, analytical results generated from a theoretical design are compared to those obtained by the application of the computing procedure. To demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the developed procedure, a measuring test bed has been constructed for a practical application example. Furthermore, the results obtained by using the built measuring system are also compared to those obtained by using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) with the proposed algorithms.
