This paper reviews recent developments of non-contact three-dimensional (3D) surface
metrology using an active structured optical probe. We focus primarily on those active non …

In recent years optical non-destructive methods for 3D surface metrology have become
increasingly important in contrast to traditional tactile measurement techniques. Here, we …

We provide a review of recent advances in 3D surface imaging technologies. We focus
particularly on noncontact 3D surface measurement techniques based on structured …

The acquisition of high-resolution, real-time three-dimensional surface data of dynamically
moving objects has large applicability in many fields. When additional restrictions such as …

Due to their speed, data density, and versatility, optical metrology tools play important roles
in today's high-speed industrial manufacturing applications. Handbook of Optical …

Over the last 25 years driven by both the development of new technologies such as fast
computers and solid state devices and the necessity to precisely inspect these increasingly …

Virtual instruments provide task-specific uncertainty evaluation in surface and dimensional
metrology. We demonstrate the first virtual coherence scanning interferometer that can …

The fast, contact-free and highly precise shape measurement of technical objects is of key
importance in the scientific-technological area as well as the area of practical measurement …

This paper presents a hybrid contact–optical coordinate measuring system which was
designed to measure and analyze the geometry of objects. It combines the accuracy of …

We describe a system for fast three-dimensional profilometry, of both optically smooth and
optically rough surfaces, based on scanning white-light techniques. The system utilizes an …
