<title>Application and performance evaluation of a vision-based automated measurement system</title>

Abstract

Applications such as dimensional inspection, positioning and tracking of objects, and reverse engineering require highly accurate measurement systems. A vision-based coordinate measurement system (VCM) developed at the National Research Council of Canada, targeted for these applications, will be described. In order for a vision system to be considered for such applications, its performance and design parameters must be well understood. Therefore, a performance evaluation procedure and accuracy analysis, along with test results, will also be presented.
