A Novel Concentric Circular Coded Target, and Its Positioning and Identifying Method for Vision Measurement under Challenging Conditions

Assessment of Background Illumination Influence on Accuracy of Measurements Performed on Optical Coordinate Measuring Machine Equipped with Video Probe

Currently the Coordinate Measuring Technique is facing new challenges both in terms of used methodology and a speed of measurement. More and more often modern optical systems or multisensor systems replace classic solutions. Measurement performed using the optical system is more vulnerable to incorrect points acquisition due to such factors as an inadequate focus or parameters of applied illumination. This article examines the effect of an increasing illumination on the measurement result. A glass reference plate with marked circles and a hole plate standard were used for the measurements performed on a multi-sensor machine Zeiss O' Inspect 442. The experiment consisted of measurements of standard objects with different values of the backlight at the maximum magnification. Such approach allows to assess the influence of controlled parameter on errors of diameter and form measurements as well as an uncertainty of measurements by determination of ellipses of point repeatability. The analysis of the obtained results shows that increasing backlight mainly affects the result of the diameter measurement.
