Geometric Metrology

这项补助金资助几何计量学的研究。 几何计量学是一种测量机械零件尺寸和公差的方法。 本研究的目标是将几何计量学的方法扩展到更大的应用领域，开发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工具箱，并探索可以从本研究中受益的计量领域。 如果成功，这项研究将有助于设计人员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.
