The , edited by Kevin Harding , is a definitive resource for engineers and quality specialists navigating the transition from mechanical gaging to high-speed optical measurement systems. Published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis), this handbook bridges the gap between theoretical principles and industrial applications. Core Focus and Methodology
The text is structured to provide a foundation for evaluating optical methods by comparing them to traditional mechanical gaging, highlighting specific limitations and error sources. It organizes metrology methods based on the scale of the object being measured: Handbook of optical dimensional metrology
The handbook details several critical optical mechanisms used to measure dimensions: Handbook of optical dimensional metrology - ResearchGate The , edited by Kevin Harding , is
