AI Technical Summary
Existing contact fiber optic probe measurement technology, when performing high-precision measurements, is affected by microscopic forces such as surface van der Waals forces and pre-contact effects caused by microscopic elastic deformation of the probe mechanism. This results in inaccurate signal transition points, uncertainties in pre-travel, and non-ideal signals, making it difficult to accurately identify the true contact point.
A method based on inflection point identification is adopted. The contact platform is adaptively determined by kernel density estimation. Combined with adaptive inflection point precise positioning and dynamic first and last noise reduction processing, nonlinear data is eliminated, and piecewise linear fitting is performed to calculate the aperture.
It significantly improves the robustness and accuracy of contact fiber optic probe measurements, enabling automated precision measurements applicable to different materials and apertures, overcoming the effects of pre-contact effects, and improving measurement repeatability and accuracy.
