Abstract:
The present disclosure describes methods and systems for virtually calibrating geometric sensors with overlapping fields of view. In some embodiments, a geometric sensor may be virtually calibrated by applying a correction value to profile data obtained by the geometric sensor to generate adjusted profile data. The correction factor may be determined based at least in part on X-Y offsets and/or rotational offsets of prior profile data obtained by the geometric sensor relative to corresponding profile data obtained by a reference geometric sensor, and may be recalculated or updated as new sets of profile data are obtained. The adjusted profile data may be used in place of the original profile data in various data processing operations to functionally offset a positional error of the geometric sensor.

Claim (Index 1):
A virtual calibration method comprising:\n receiving a first set of profile data obtained by one or more first geometric sensors, and a reference set of profile data obtained by one or more second geometric sensors, for a first portion of a first workpiece, wherein the sets of profile data include overlapping profile data; determining, based at least on the first set of profile data and the reference set of profile data, a first one or more offset values that represents a translational difference of the first set of profile data, or portions thereof, relative to the reference set of profile data; receiving a second set of profile data obtained by the one or more first geometric sensors, wherein the second set of profile data represents a second portion of the first workpiece or a portion of a second workpiece; and generating an adjusted set of profile data for the second workpiece based at least on the second set of profile data and the first one or more offset values to thereby offset a positional error of the one or more first geometric sensors relative to the one or more second geometric sensors.
