Since the invention of the vernier caliper in the 1850s, dimensional metrology has played a critical role in driving the manufacturing industry to its current levels of excellence.

Image processing is usually done in order to extract information of interest from a busy image or to enhance the image.

All practical dimensional metrology applications rely on capturing data points in space, xyz coordinates.

In the mid 1980s my company got its first PC for accounting and a database of client/case records. It was a revolution!
