Abstract
This chapter is designed to introduce the reader to emerging technologies relating to 3D surface topography measurement and comparative analysis. While the chapter includes several technical terms and a few equations, effort has been made to omit content that only would be of interest to a metrologist. We encourage readers to push through the entire chapter. Technology is developing quickly and we hope that the content will provide a roadmap and some important waypoints to this emerging discipline. Note that this chapter has been adapted from a longer and slightly more technical paper. The interested reader is pointed towards the original content (Vorburger, et.al. 2016).Citation
