Distributed Testing of a Device-Level Interface Specification for a Metrology System

January 31, 2002
Author(s)
Joseph Falco, John A. Horst, Hui-Min Huang, Thomas Kramer, Frederick M. Proctor, Keith A. Stouffer, Albert J. Wavering
A test suite for an key interface within a dimensional measuring system (coordinate measuring machine or CMM) is presented. The test suite consists of test procedures, test definitions, and various testing utilities. A real-time, distributed test utilizing

A Lexical Analogy to Feature Matching and Pose Estimation

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
John A. Horst
We relate the problem of finding a correspondence between sensed and model features to that of finding a match between a random set of letters and words in a dictionary. The process is equivalent to hashing and the linguistic perspective is added to

An Intelligent Systems Architecture for Manufacturing (ISAM); A Reference Model Architecture for Intelligent Manufacturing Systems

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
James S. Albus, John A. Horst, Hui-Min Huang, Thomas Kramer, Elena R. Messina, Alex Meystel, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor, Harry A. Scott, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., M. K. Senehi
The Intelligent Systems Architecture for Manufacturing (ISAM) addresses the application of intelligent systems to the manufacturing enterprise at three degrees of abstraction: 1) a conceptual framework for developing metrics, standards, and performance

Analysis of Dimensional Metrology Standards

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
Thomas R. Kramer, John Evans, Simon P. Frechette, John A. Horst, Hui-Min Huang, Elena R. Messina, Frederick M. Proctor, William G. Rippey, Harry A. Scott, Theodore V. Vorburger, Albert J. Wavering
This is an analysis of standards related to dimensional metrology, with recommendations regarding standards development. The analysis focuses on the degree to which existing and developing standards provide a complete set of non-overlapping specifications

Controller Driven VRML Animation of a Real-Time Inspection System

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
Keith A. Stouffer, John A. Horst
Virtual objects in a web-based environment can be interfaced to and controlled by external real world controllers. A Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) inspection cell was created that models a realtime inspection system The inspection system

A Knowledge-Based Inspection Workstation

November 3, 1999
Author(s)
Elena R. Messina, John A. Horst, Thomas R. Kramer, Hui-Min Huang, Tsung-Ming Tsai, E Amatucci
We are building an inspection workstation development environment to use as a testbed for understanding what types of knowledge, e.g., data, algorithms, and processes, can increase the productivity of inspection operations. Inspection can be more efficient

Component Specifications for Robotics Integration

May 1, 1999
Author(s)
Elena R. Messina, John A. Horst, Thomas R. Kramer, Hui-Min Huang, John L. Michaloski
Robotics researchers have been unable to capitalize easily on existing software components to speed up their development e orts and maximize their system's capabilities. A component-based approach for building the software for robotics systems can provide
