Development of camera-based systems for micro-coordinate metrology 

Start: October 2015
Student: Danny Sims-Waterhouse
Supervisors: Samanta Piano, Richard Leach
Funding: Ultra-Precision CDT 
New camera-based 3D measurement systems for high-precision coordinate metrology will be developed. Special focus will be given to the ability to measure features with high slope angles and high aspect ratios, often outside the aperture range of the optics. 
Techniques to be considered include photogrammetry and fringe projection, including hybrid designs. A number of case study components (from industrial partners) will be measured using the techniques to demonstrate their performance with different geometries, materials and surface textures.
