Simulation and Experiment in Laser Metrology

These proceedings document about 45 contributions to the International Symposium on Laser Applications in Precision Measurement held in Balatonfüred/Hungary during June 3-6, 1996. Special emphasis was given to the Combination of Simulation and Experiment in Laser Metrology. International experts provide a survey over a large variety of their latest achievements and developments in this rapidly advancing field. Over the last years, optical measurement techniques like structured illumination, holographic interferometry and tomography were applied more and more in combination with CAE-tools such as CAD and FEM. This combination has found a world of new applications in scientific and industrial branches interested in highly exact but nondestructive and noncontact measurement of technical components. Each of the four sections contains an overview article given by international leading experts. With that the proceedings should be considered to be a state-of-the-art report combining the areas of mathematical modeling of objects, experimental testing under definite stresses, computer-aided evaluation and measuring of objects.Fuzessy, Z. is the author of 'Simulation and Experiment in Laser Metrology' with ISBN 9783527401420 and ISBN 3527401423.
