Abstract
In the process of surface profiling in experimental mechanics, multiple sets of measured, three-dimensional surface data oftentimes are obtained without precise knowledge of their relative position or orientation. In this work, automatic and accurate surface registration and merging algorithms are presented to integrate the individual subsets into a complete object surface model. The proposed method requires only overlapped regions between adjacent data sets when the measurement was taken and a rough initial estimate for the positions of each subset. Simulation results and experimental data are presented that demonstrate that the method is both accurate and efficient.
