Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of surface topology on the performance of laser line scanning probe and to suggest methodology for 3D digitization of specular surfaces. Design/methodology/approach – Two different molds, one having milled surface and the other with polished surface, were used to identify effect of surface characteristics on the performance of laser line scanning probe mounted on bridge-type coordinate measuring machine. The point cloud data acquisition of two surfaces was carried out using different combinations of laser scanning parameters. The point cloud sets thus obtained were analyzed in terms of completeness, noise and accuracy. The polished mold which exhibited specular reflection was digitized at different scanning angles of laser line scanning probe using the best combination of scanning parameters. Findings – Results confirmed that surface characteristics play important role to determine quality of the reverse engineering (RE) process. The results in terms of completeness, accuracy and noise for point cloud sets have successfully been obtained for milled and polished surfaces. Three-dimensional (3D) comparison analysis suggested larger deviation in cases of polished surface as compared to milled surface. The point cloud set acquired with proposed approach was better in terms of both completeness and noise reduction. Originality/value – There has been an increased demand for measurement of metallic, polished and shiny surfaces in automotive, aerospace and medical industries. These surfaces are very difficult to scan because they exhibit specular reflection instead of diffuse reflection. Laser line scanning probe which is a non-contact method is in great demand for RE. This is due to the fact that it possesses very high data acquisition speed. However, laser scanning is hugely affected by surface characteristics which in turn govern specular reflection.In this paper, it has been shown that a surface that exhibits various degrees of specular reflection can be digitized efficiently if appropriate combination of scanning parameters and positions of laser line scanning probe are used. Also, this paper has attempted to offer a procedure to overcome incompleteness and noise in 3D data as obtained by the laser line scanning probe.

SummaryRobots will require some form of proximity sensing in order to perform many delicate exploration, assembly and manipulation tasks. This paper describes a novel articulated tactile probe which can locate and accurately measure the 3-dimensional surface contours of small objects. Although lacking the speed of data acquisition possible with vision and other non-contact sensors, the resulting data is easily processed to give useful information about an object.

Rapid reverse technology is one of the key technologies with which the enterprises develop new product and occupy the market rapidly. How to realize the reverse measurement and CAD geometry reconstruction rapidly and accurately is always the most important focus for the researchers. Based on the laser scanning technology, the realization principle of the laser line scanning measuring system is presented and the approaches to improve the precision are also analysed in the paper. The self-adaptation adjustment of the probe position can move the light knife image to the optimal imaging area of the CCD according to the calibration result, which will ensure the measurement precision of the CCD image. With the inner velocity loop and outer position loop feedback control, the simple axis position precision of the mechanical system can be controlled within 5um. In order to pick up the points of the light knife centre rationally and exactly, the reconstruction-disperse iteration algorithm is put forward. After processed by different iteration times, the optimal points can be obtained. The reconstruction method of curve and surface based on NURBS is also given. The paper presents the application and realization of the system at last, which realizes the curve and surface measurement with high precision.
