Form Error Models of the NIST Algorithm Testing System

Published

Author(s)

Abstract

The NIST Algorithm Testing System is a software package for testing geometric fitting software. In order to create realistic test scenarios, the ATS provides the capability to generate test data that simulate part features with form errors. This report documents the form error models used in the Algorithm Testing System.
