Coordinate measuring method and coordinate measurement machine for measuring surfaces with an optical sensor

摘要

The method involves filtering the data set. The contact of the surface profile with a virtual tactile sensor (8) represented of the data set, is simulated. A tactile set of data is derived from the simulated contact, so that the tactile data set represents a virtual tactile surface profile (8b) in a virtual-sensor domain. The surface coordinates for the object surface, are drained from the tactile data. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a coordinate measuring machine; and (2) a computer program product for coordinate measuring.
