Areal Surface Filtering of Unstructured Point Clouds

Philip Freeman, STF The Boeing Company

Large, flexible parts can be hard to inspect. The overall shape is often less critical than the small-scale variations such as waves, dents, ridges, and bumps. The availability of accurate 3D point cloud metrology makes it easy to collect detailed surface...
