Finding Surface Roughness of Materials using Image Focus

영상 초점을 이용한 물체의 표면 굴곡도 측정

Estimation of surface roughness is an important quality measure for many applications including optics, polymers, semiconductor etc. In this paper, we propose to estimate surface roughness using image focus. We use polymers as test objects. The proposed method is an inexpensive and fast method based on Shape From Focus (SFF). We show that the results from SFF are encouraging for comparison of polymers using surface roughness.
