Geometric Metrology

这笔拨款用于几何计量学的研究。几何计量学是一种测量机械零件尺寸和公差的方法。这项研究的目标是将几何计量学的方法论扩展到更大的应用类别，发展几何计量学的理论结构，将科学可视化元素纳入统一的几何计量学工具箱，并探索计量学中可以从这项研究中受益的领域。如果成功，这项研究将有助于设计师指定零件的几何公差，从而提高质量控制和降低产品成本。

This grant funds research on geometric metrology. Geometric metrology is an approach to the dimensioning and tolerancing of mechanical parts. The goal of this research is to extend the methodology of geometric metrology to a larger class of applications, develop the theoretical structure of geometric metrology, incorporate scientific visualization elements within a unified geometric metrology toolbox, and explore areas within metrology that can benefit from this research. If successful, this research will contribute to the ability of designers to specify geometric tolerances on parts that will lead to improved quality control and lower product cost.
