Coordinate metrology is the main inspection method for product or process control in various manufacturingsystems today. The accuracy and reliability of inspection directly affect the quality of products or processes, therate of failure, and the production waste. Recent developments in optical coordinate metrology allows fastcapturing of large amount of 3D data points from the surface of the measured objects which is highly desiredfor dynamic measurements in automated production lines. However, the accuracy of measurement data highlydepends on various sources of noises during the surface scanning process. The noisy points in the scannedpoint cloud increase the amount of uncertainty at different areas in the 3D point cloud, which affects therobustness of the measurement. Additional challenges are encountered when the texture of scanned surfaces arehighly reflective. As there is no prior knowledge of how the noise is distributed in the point cloud, the optimumdetermination of model parameters is often a difficult and challenging process. This project investigates anapproach to improve the reliability and accuracy of the measurement by determining the number and locationof surface measurement points. It aims to find a solution for the planar surfaces and flatness evaluation becausethe flat surfaces and patches are the most common geometric features in various manufacturing products.Bluewrist Inc. is a Canadian - based company focused on automated measurement and production qualitycontrol systems who primarily services the advanced manufacturing sectors. Bluewrist's main product includein-line dimensional measurement systems, robotic guidance system, and automation engine andcommunication software. This project allows Bluewirst to develop a more reliable platform for coordinatemetrology and 3D scanning that can be implemented in their automated coordinate metrology products andservices to its clients. This research will assist Bluewrist to develop customized methodologies to reduce thelevel of metrology uncertainty for various Canadian industrial sectors. It will also have a direct impact ontraining of highly qualified personnel who can become the leaders of Canada's future metrology industry.

坐标计量是当今各种制造系统中产品或过程控制的主要检测方法。检验的准确性和可靠性直接影响产品或过程的质量、不合格率和生产浪费。光学坐标计量学的最新发展允许从被测物体的表面快速捕获大量 3D 数据点，这对于自动化生产线中的动态测量来说是非常需要的。然而，测量数据的准确性很大程度上取决于表面扫描过程中的各种噪声源。扫描点云中的噪声点增加了 3D 点云中不同区域的不确定性，从而影响测量的稳健性。当扫描表面的纹理具有高反射性时，会遇到额外的挑战。由于事先不知道噪声在点云中的分布情况，模型参数的最佳确定通常是一个困难且具有挑战性的过程。该项目研究了一种通过确定表面测量点的数量和位置来提高测量可靠性和准确性的方法。它的目标是找到平面和平整度评估的解决方案，因为平面和斑块是各种制造产品中最常见的几何特征。Bluewrist Inc.是一家总部位于加拿大的公司，专注于自动化测量和生产质量控制系统，主要服务于先进制造业。 Bluewrist的主要产品包括在线尺寸测量系统、机器人引导系统、自动化引擎和通信软件。该项目使 Bluewirst 能够开发更可靠的坐标计量和 3D 扫描平台，该平台可以在其自动化坐标计量产品和为客户提供的服务中实施。这项研究将协助 Bluewrist 开发定制方法，以降低加拿大各个工业部门的计量不确定性水平。它还将对高素质人才的培训产生直接影响，这些人才可以成为加拿大未来计量行业的领导者。
