Spatial characteristics of geometric deviations of free-form surfaces determined in coordinate measurements

摘要

Geometric deviations of free-form surfaces are determined as normal deviations of measurement points from the nominal surface. Different sources of errors in the manufacturing process result in deviations of different character, deterministic and random. Geometric deviations of 3D free-form surfaces may be treated as a spatial process, and spatial data analysis methods can be applied in order to conduct research on the relationships among them. The paper presents theoretic bases for testing spatial dependence of measurement data, as well as the results of tests on geometric deviations involving testing their spatial autocorrelation with the use of the Moran's I statistics.
