Abstract

Abstract When using an areal measuring optical instrument to measure rough surfaces, especially surfaces generated by metal additive manufacturing (e.g. laser and electron beam powder bed fusion), topographical artifacts such as spikes on a reconstructed surface are nearly unavoidable. These artifacts may affect the determination of surface roughness parameters and lead to erroneous surface features. This paper proposes a new preprocessing method to eliminate most artifacts before extracting surface heights of rough surfaces measured by focus variation microscopy. In this method, the axial region where a surface height value is located with the highest probability is estimated, based on datasets of planes parallel to the axial scanning direction. Results regarding height measurements with and without the preprocessing method are compared by measuring a Rubert Microsurf 329 comparator test panel for reference and workpieces produced by metal additive manufacturing.
