In most shipyards, the measurement of 3-dimensional relative position of pipes should be connected in the block depends on the manual operation. It results a very tedious and inefficient procedure, thus the proper measurement system is needed to improve productivity and accuracy. This paper describes the development of pipe measurement system including system concepts, measuring procedures, system calibration, and its accuracy and productivity. And also, the possibility and things to be improved for application in shipyard are discussed in this paper.

This paper introduces an approach of method to compensate accuracy error of diagonal direction. The measurement of squareness error is an important parameter in performance test of two axis Linear Motor and this exerts influence on accuracy error of diagonal test. However, previous knowledge management approaches are limited in deviation measurement of optical axis or restrictive elements of diagonal measurements using laser interferometer. But this proposed method calculated diagonal accuracy error which was occurred by squareness error and compensated squareness error using orthogonal correction method of PMAC. From this result, diagonal accuracy error is significantly reduced. This experimental results show that geometric error of squareness error is easily corrected by dynamic coordinate correction.

Currently, many researches are carried out about tilting index table, which is one of the main component of 5-axis machine tool. The performance of the tilting index table is associated the rotational accuracy which is very important factor for high precision machining because it have an effect on machining error. In this paper, a tilting index table is developed, and the rotational accuracy of the tilting index table using a laser measurement equipment is measured. In addition, a correction value is obtained from the measured value through compensation, and the correction value is used to improve the accuracy of the table. Comparative analysis is carried out for the accuracy of the table before and after compensation. This paper can be used by a reference for performance and reliability advancement of tilting index table.

This article evaluates the accuracy of noise measurements for 37 noise measurement applications for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3Gs. Noise levels were measured using simultaneously a precision sound level meter and iPhones installed noise measurement applications at the levels of 70 dB, 80 dB and 90 dB at 1,000 Hz. Measurement errors were estimated by subtracting two measurements between iPhone and sound level meter. It was found that measurement errors of 34 applications(89.2%) were greater than ${\pm}2$ dB which is the maximum allowable error range for the Type II sound level meter. It was only 4 applications that measurement errors lie within ${\pm}2$ dB error range. There was no significant differences among measurements with four iPhone 4s. However, there were significant differences between the measurements with iPhone 4 and iPhone 3Gs using the same application. It was due to the different hardware specifications such as microphone. Therefore, noise measurement applications, for example, which has to utilize hardware of the smartphone, should be programmed to identify hardware specifications and to adopt appropriate correction factors upon hardware specifications. In conclusion, it is necessary to check accuracy and validity before using the noise measurement applications for iPhones. Also, it was suggested that it should develop an evaluation guideline or protocol on accuracy testing for the measurement applications using a smartphone.

In this paper, an efficient algorithm for estimating real edge locations to subpixel values is described. Digital images are acquired by projection into image plane and sampling process. However, most of real edge locations are lost in this process, which causes low measurement accuracy. For accurate measurement, we propose an algorithm which estimates the real boundary between two adjacent pixels in digital imagery, with subpixel accuracy. We first define 1D edge operator based on the moment invariant. To extend it to 2D data, the edge orientation of each pixel is estimated by the LSE(Least Squares Error)line/circle fitting of a set of pixels around edge boundary. Then, using the pixels along the line perpendicular to the estimated edge orientation the real boundary is calculated with subpixel accuracy. Experimental results using real images show that the proposed method is robust in local noise, while maintaining low measurement error.

Very important content in performance evaluation of machine tool is positioning accuracy and repeatability precision measurements of feed mechanism. A study analyses the measurement method and uncertainty factors by ISO-based test method. Reliable results can't be derived without the notion of measurement uncertainty. The reason is that the measured value includes a lot of uncertain factors. Finding the factor that affects the measurement of parameter is important for estimation of measurement precision. In this paper, the evaluation of uncertainty analysis about positioning accuracy and repeatability precision measurements of high precision feed mechanism is presented to evaluate the important factors of uncertainty.

The integrity and accuracy of the drilling hole are decided by positional error, diameter error, the roundness, the straightness, the cylindericity, size of the burr, the surface roundness and others. Among these parameters, positional error and diameter error have the most important parameters. The diameter error has been widely studied, but there has been little research done about the positional error due to the difficulty of measuring it. The measurement of hole location and diameter would be performed by CMM(Coordinate Measurement Machine). However, the usage of CMM requires much time and cost. In order to overcome the difficulties, we have developed a hole location and diameter error measuring device using machine vision. The developed measurement device attached to a CNC machine can determine hole quality quickly and easily.

In this paper, we proposed a new ultrasonic distance measurement system with high accuracy and long range. To improve accuracy and enlarge range, the time of flight of ultrasonic is calculated by the period detecting method. In the proposed ultrasonic distance measurement system, the ultrasonic transmitter and receiver are separated but synchronized by RF(Radio frequency) module. The experiment has been implemented from short distance 1m to maximum available distance 30m. And the period detecting method is compared with the conventional threshold level method. Experimental results show the accuracy and range of the distance measurement are improved by this period detecting method.

Machining information such as machined form and surface roughness accuracy is an important factor for manufacturing precise parts. To this regard, OMM(On the Machine Measurement) has been issued for last several decades to alternate with CMM. In this research, measuring system consisting of a laser probe is developed for machined form and surface roughness measurement on the machine tool. The obtained machined form accuracy is compared with reference one defined in CAD model. The measured surface roughness data is compared with measured master surface beforehand. Furthermore, using the pre-defined volumetric error map approach compensates the geometric accuracy of the machine tool. The overall performance is compared with CMM, and verified the feasibility of the measurement system.
