ROLE OF MEDIAN CURVES AND SURFACES AND THEIR COMPUTATIONS IN COORDINATE METROLOGY

November 15, 2024
Author(s)
Craig Shakarji, Kexin Yin, Qunfen Qi, Edward Morse, Vijay Srinivasan
This paper explores a novel role for median curves and surfaces in coordinate metrology, and the techniques to compute these curves and surfaces. The role includes the important problem of identifying potential outliers in two- and three-dimensional

Laser tracker and terrestrial laser scanner range error evaluation by stitching

May 7, 2024
Author(s)
Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Braden Czapla, Vincent Lee, Craig Shakarji, Daniel S. Sawyer, Saure Matthias
Laser trackers (LTs) are dimensional measurement instruments commonly employed in the manufacture and assembly of large structures. Terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) are a related class of dimensional measurement instruments more commonly employed in

DIMENSIONAL METROLOGY IN DETERMINATION OF G WITH BIPM'S TORSION BALANCE

November 7, 2022
Author(s)
Vincent Lee, Stephan Schlamminger, Leon Chao, David B. Newell, Jon Pratt, Craig Shakarji, Clive Speake
This paper discusses the dimensional metrology challenges encountered while performing G measurements using the BIPM torsion balance and our solutions.

Performance evaluation of laser trackers using the network method

July 30, 2020
Author(s)
Ling Wang, Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Octavio Icasio Hernandez, Craig M. Shakarji, Daniel S. Sawyer
Due to their accuracy, portability, and large working volume, laser trackers (LTs) are widely used for dimensional metrology in a variety of large-scale manufacturing and assembly operations. Their performance evaluation is a key concern for users

Constrained Least-Squares Fitting for Tolerancing and Metrology

July 1, 2019
Author(s)
Craig M. Shakarji, Vijay Srinivasan
Recent years have seen a remarkable emergence of a particular type of least-squares fitting, called constrained least-squares fitting, in national and international standards on tolerancing and metrology. Fitting, which is called an association operation
