Dimension measurement method of ring forgings based on laser scanning and multiple regression filtering algorithm

In order to detect the radial is characterized and the isolated points that deviate from the target point cloud are removed using statistical section dimensions of ring parts in the forging process, we present a new method that processes laser scanning data of the outer radial section profile of ring forgings. Based on regression analysis and point cloud filtering, a multiple regression filtering algorithm is proposed to process the point cloud data for the measurement of the outer diameter of ring forgings. First, the laser scanned point cloud data filtering methods. The outlier clusters are then removed using regression analysis and processed by Gaussian regression filtering algorithms to obtain point cloud data with good circularity characteristics. Next, the Least Squares principle is used to fit a circle to the processed data to obtain information on the external diameter of the ring forgings to be measured. Finally, the feasibility of the method is verified by measuring the outer dimensions of the elliptical ring forgings in the experiment and performing error analysis.
