In this paper, we describe techniques for evaluating the uncertainties associated with the assessment of form error, i.e., the departure from ideal geometry of a manufactured part, in coordinate metrology. The techniques take into account measurement uncertainty, sampling effects due to the fact that the form error is determined from a finite set of coordinate data points, and the spatial correlation of the form errors. The techniques are designed to be practical, without the need for complex computation.
Key words: Form error / Gaussian processes / uncertainty
