The aim of this course is to build knowledge in the field of measurement of physical objects. To fulfill this goal methods and algorithms will be taught for the purpose of solving different measurement tasks in the manufacturing industry. Understanding of necessary statistical analysis methods to be used for estimation of uncertainty, repeatability and reproducibility of measurements is an example of an important goal. Using and handling data from coordinate measurement machines (CMMs) also tools and algorithms for precise data handling in the image processing field will be learned. Students will learn how to extract information from images that can be used for estimating dimensions of objects and also learn how to estimate errors in that process. Besides using standards for calibration of metrology tools also self-calibration methods will be taught as a way to separate errors sources in measurements in one and two dimensions.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
