This book provides insights into surface quality control techniques and
applications based on high-definition metrology (HDM). Intended as a
reference resource for engineers who routinely use a variety of quality
control methods and are interested in understanding the data processing,
from HDM data to final control actions, it can also be used as a
textbook for advanced courses in engineering quality control
applications for students who are already familiar with quality control
methods and practices. It enables readers to not only assimilate the
quality control methods involved, but also to quickly implement the
techniques in practical engineering problems. Further, it includes
numerous case studies to highlight the implementation of the methods
using measured HDM data of surface features. Since MATLAB is extensively
employed in these case studies, familiarity with this software is
helpful, as is a general understanding of surface quality control
methods.
