Evaluation of the Calculated Sizes Based on the Neural Network Regression

The evaluation models of circumference diameter, area diameter, and volume diameter were established based on the cylindrical coordinate measuring method, respectively. Many groups of roundness profiles of cylindrical specimens were extracted, and their pseudo and actual circumference diameters, area diameters, and volume diameters were evaluated according to the established evaluation models and the sampling data of the extracted roundness profiles. The relationship models between the pseudo calculated sizes and the actual calculated sizes were built through a series of training based on the neural network regression. The checked experiments for the training models showed that the evaluation of the calculated sizes can meet their measurement accuracy requirement through the pseudo calculated sizes, which were evaluated based on the roundness profiles by using the cylindricity or roundness measuring instrument.
