Platform Programme One - Next Generation Surface Metrology

Platform Programme One – Next Generation Surface Metrology

Platform Programme One aims to build a Basis for Future Standardised Freeform/Structured Surface Characterisation System. This research focuses on creating universal evaluation systems for freeform and structured surfaces, which include refining the discrete/continuous non-Euclidean surface representations, sampling, filtration, characterisation, fast algorithms, and practical approaches.

Book and Book Chapters:

Jiang, X., Scott, P.J. , Advanced Metrology: Freeform Surface, Academic Press, ISBN 978012817337, Apr. 2020, 370 Pages

Advanced Technology: The book introduces discrete/continuous surface representations, decomposition to solve the non-uniqueness problem of freeform shape; filtration, Morphology, Wavelet Decomposition and Numeric Characterisation. The book discusses methods able to handle the geometry of freeform surfaces and bridge the knowledge gap between research and practical industrial applications.
