A New Method to Characterize the Structured Tessellation Surface

Tessellated structure surface has been widely used for engineering surface. However, comprehensive characterization method for tessellated structure surface does not exist. In this paper, a systematic method that based on lattice building combined with the spectral analysis for the characterization of tessellation surface is introduced. The basic procedure includes six steps: pre-processing the measured data; converting the filtered data to AACF domain; finding the peak and the translation vectors; building the lattice and classifying the lattice type; tessellation reconstruction and finally comparison. Experimental works verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
