The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST, also called the Guo Shou Jing Telescope) is a special reflecting Schmidt telescope. LAMOST's design allows both large aperture (effective of 3.6 m–4.9 m) and wide field view (FOV) (5°). It has an innovative active configuration which continuously changes mirror's surface that adjusts during observation process combines thin deformable mirror optics with segmented optics. Its primary (6.67 m × 6.05 (5.74m 4.40m) are...
The Large sky Area Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) General Survey is a spectroscopic survey that will eventually cover approximately half of the celestial sphere and collect 10 million spectra stars, galaxies QSOs. Objects both in pilot first year general are included LAMOST First Data Release (DR1). started October 2011 ended June 2012, data have been released to public as Pilot August 2012.

Abstract Freeform optics has become the most prominent element of industry. Advanced freeform optical designs supplementary to ultra-precision manufacturing and metrology techniques have upgraded lifestyle, thinking, observing power existing humans. Imaginations related space explorations, portability, accessibility also witnessed sensible in today’s time with optics. Present-day design methods fabrications applicable development market requirements are focussed explained help traditional...
This is the second part of paper ‘Paradigm shifts in surface metrology’. In I, three historical paradigm metrology were brought together, and subsequent evolution resulting from discussed. The philosophy highlighted fact that must be robust flexible, meaning allow for full control manufacture provide an understanding functional performance. Part II presents current shift as a ‘stepping stone’, building on above context. Aspects geometry will also have to cater surfaces derived disruptive...
Abstract. Understanding the behavior of global climate system during extremely warm periods is one major themes paleoclimatology. Proxy data demonstrate that equator-to-pole temperature gradient was much lower mid-Cretaceous "supergreenhouse" period than at present, implying larger meridional heat transport by atmospheric and/or oceanic circulation. However, reconstructions circulation Cretaceous have been hampered a lack appropriate datasets based on reliable proxies. Desert distribution...
Powder bed fusion (PBF) is a popular additive manufacturing (AM) process with wide applications in key industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, defence. However, deficiency of PBF its low quality surface finish. A number variables and other factors (e.g. powders, recoater) can influence the quality. It significant importance to measure characterise surfaces for benefits optimisation, product performance evaluation also design. state-of-the-art review given summarise...
An important step of phase calculation-based fringe projection systems is 3D calibration, which builds up the relationship between an absolute map and shape data.The existing calibration methods are complicated hard to implement in practical environments due requirement a precise translating stage or gauge block.This paper presents method uses white plate with discrete markers on surface.Placing at several random positions can determine depth, as well pixel position X, Y...
Abstract In computer-aided design (CAD) and process planning (CAPP), feature recognition is an essential task which identifies the type of a 3D model for manufacturing (CAM). general, traditional rule-based methods are computationally expensive, dependent on surface or types. addition, it quite challenging to proper rules recognise intersecting features. Recently, learning-based method, named FeatureNet, has been proposed both single multi-feature recognition. This general purpose algorithm...
This keynote paper gives an overview of emerging technologies feature-based characterisation, for surface topographies having features. It is complementary to conventional characterisation using texture field parameters. An original concept, the feature spectrum proposed organise surfaces, in order help select appropriate different types and achieve a more direct relationship between manufacturing process function. The focuses on fundamentals state art technologies. Applications are...
A data-fitting method based on the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is proposed to determine thickness and refractive index of films measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). To demonstrate this method, tin oxide (SnO2) with transparent wavelength coverage (400–800 nm) are evaluated. The comparative analysis indicates that Psi Delta parameter curves WOA fitting align more closely those obtained through experiments. Furthermore, in nearly agreement results from well-known...
Surface texture and its measurement are becoming the most critical factors important functionality indicators in performance of high precision nanoscale devices components. metrology as a discipline is currently undergoing huge paradigm shift: from profile to areal characterization, stochastic structured surfaces, simple geometries complex free-form geometries, all spanning millimetre sub-nanometre scales. This paper builds complete philosophical framework for surface through review shifts...

Wavelength scanning together with an acousto-optic tunable filtering technique is used measure large step heights. An active servo control serves as phase-compensating mechanism eliminate the effects The can be online or in-process on shop floor.

With the advent of intelligent manufacturing, phase measuring deflectometry (PMD) has been widely studied for measurement three-dimensional (3D) shape specular objects. However, existing PMDs cannot measure objects having discontinuous surfaces. This paper presents a new direct PMD (DPMD) method that measures full-field 3D complicated A mathematical model is derived to directly relate an absolute map depth data, instead gradient. Two relevant parameters are calibrated using machine...
