The field of metrology is interesting for me as it integrates a lot of what I enjoy in physics and technology. The field from the outside seems very bland, but when you delve into the background, it becomes a more colorful picture. The field is reliant on the physics...

In this metrology series we have focused a lot on companies as well as technology they are creating in terms of metrology. I would like to take a different approach to a couple of the next articles. I would like to look into certain topics that are of interest to me...

CMS Certified In any field or industry, being certified makes one a hot commodity. I personally think that the school model is out of date and that people who are serious about certain industries, should focus solely on getting certified. A lot of market sectors and...

In the previous article within our metrology series we took a look into what machine vision is as a whole and how it integrates within metrology . We also made a slight distinction in what machine vision is compared to computer vision. It is important to do so as...

3D Reconstruction In our previous article we outlined the basis of most applications within computer vision. It is a vast and large field. It has a lot of intersectionality with 3D technology and the future of 3D printing as well as metrology. The field of 3D imaging...

3D Perception We as humans have faulty perception of the physical environment we live in. Although we are able to distinguish 2D items and 3D items, we do not have the ability to measure them in real time with numeric values. We need to use outside devices to assist...
