Abstract:
1. A method of analyzing measuring data, the method comprising: inputting measuring data from a measuring device, the measuring data comprising a set of data values representing features of an object; performing a recognition method on at least a subset of the data values for determining first parameters of a geometric shape element representing at least a portion of a feature of the object; eliminating outliers from the set of data values, the outliers having a distance from the shape element having the determined first parameters greater than a first threshold; performing a first regression analysis on a set of remaining data values not including the outliers, for determining second parameters of the geometric shape element such that the shape element having the second parameters is a better representation of the at least one portion of the feature of the object than the shape element having the first parameters; and outputting the shape element having the second parameters for at least one action selected from the group consisting of: storing the shape element having the second parameters for use as the better representation of the at least one portion of the feature of the object, displaying the shape element having the second parameters for use as the better representation of the at least one portion of the feature of the object, or providing information about the at least one portion of the feature of the object.
