1、Designation: E2938 15Standard Test Method forEvaluating the Relative-Range Measurement Performance of3D Imaging Systems in the Medium Range1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2938; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the ca
2、se of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This standard describes a quantitative test method forevaluating the range measurement per
3、formance of laser-based,scanning, time-of-flight, 3D imaging systems in the mediumrange. The term “medium range” refers to systems that arecapable of operating within at least a portion of ranges from 2to 150 m. The term “time-of-flight systems” includes phase-based, pulsed, and chirped systems. The
4、 word “standard” inthis document refers to a documentary standard as per Termi-nology E284. This test method only applies to 3D imagingsystems that are capable of producing a point cloud represen-tation of a measured target.1.1.1 As defined in Terminology E2544,arange is thedistance measured from th
5、e origin of a 3D imaging system toa point in space. This range is often referred to as an absoluterange. However, since the origin of many 3D imaging systemsis either unknown or not readily measurable, a test method forabsolute range performance is not feasible for these systems.Therefore, in this t
6、est method, the range is taken to be thedistance between two points in space on a line that passesthrough the origin of the 3D imaging system. Although theerror in the calculated distance between these two points is arelative-range error, in this test method when the term rangeerror is used it refer
7、s to the relative-range error. This testmethod cannot be used to quantify the constant offset errorcomponent of the range error.1.1.2 This test method recommends that the first point be atthe manufacturer-specified target 1 range and requires that thesecond target be on the same side of the instrume
8、nt under test(IUT) as the first target. Specification of target 1 range by themanufacturer minimizes the contribution to the relative rangemeasurement error from the target 1 range measurement.1.1.3 This test method may be used once to evaluate the IUTfor a given set of conditions or it may be used
9、multiple timesto better assess the performance of the IUT for variousconditions (for example, additional ranges, variousreflectances, environmental conditions).1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard. SI units are us
10、ed for all calculations and results in thisstandard.1.3 The method described in this standard is not intended toreplace more in-depth methods used for instrument calibrationor compensation, and specific measurement applications mayrequire other tests and analyses.1.4 This standard does not purport t
11、o address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

E25443.1.1.1 DiscussionSome examples of a 3D imaging sys-tem are laser scanners (also known as LADARs or LIDARs orlaser radars), optica
20、l range cameras (also known as flashLIDARs or 3D range cameras), triangulation-based systemssuch as those using pattern projectors or lasers, and othersystems based on interferometry.3.1.1.2 DiscussionIn general, the information gathered bya 3D imaging system is a collection of n-tuples, where eachn
21、-tuple can include but is not limited to spherical or Cartesiancoordinates, return signal strength, color, time stamp, identifier,polarization, and multiple range returns.3.1.1.3 Discussion3D imaging systems are used to mea-sure from relatively small scale objects (for example, coin,statue, manufact
22、ured part, human body) to larger scale objectsor sites (for example, terrain features, buildings, bridges, dams,towns, archeological sites).3.1.2 calibration, noperation that, under specifiedconditions, in a first step, establishes a relation between thequantity values with measurement uncertainties

JCGM 200:2012 (VIM) 4.263.1.12.1 DiscussionUsually, the term “maximum permis-sible errors” or “limits of error” is used where there are t
33、woextreme values.3.1.12.2 DiscussionThe term “tolerance” should not beused to designate maximum permissible error.3.1.13 measurand, nquantity intended to be measured.JCGM 200:2012 (VIM) 2.33.1.13.1 DiscussionThe specification of a measurand re-quires knowledge of the kind of quantity, description of
34、 thestate of the phenomenon, body, or substance carrying thequantity, including any relevant component, and the chemicalentities involved.4Available from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W. 43rd St.,4th Floor, New York, NY 10036, http:/www.ansi.org.E2938 1523.1.13.2 DiscussionIn the
35、second edition of the VIM andin IEC 60050-300:2001, the measurand is defined as thequantity subject to measurement.3.1.13.3 DiscussionThe measurement, including the mea-suring system and the conditions under which the measurementis carried out, might change the phenomenon, body, or sub-stance such t
36、hat the quantity being measured may differ fromthe measurand as defined. In this case, adequate correction isnecessary.Example 1The potential difference between the termi-nals of a battery may decrease when using a voltmeter witha significant internal conductance to perform the measure-ment. The ope
37、n-circuit potential difference can be calculatedfrom the internal resistances of the battery and the voltmeter.Example 2The length of a steel rod in equilibrium withthe ambient Celsius temperature of 23C will be differentfrom the length at the specified temperature of 20C, whichis the measurand. In
38、this case, a correction is necessary.3.1.13.4 DiscussionIn chemistry, “analyte”, or the nameof a substance or compound, are terms sometimes used formeasurand. This usage is erroneous because these terms donot refer to quantities.3.1.14 measurement accuracy, ncloseness of agreementbetween a measured
39、quantity value and a true quantity value ofa measurand. JCGM 200:2012 (VIM) 2.133.1.14.1 DiscussionThe concept measurement accuracyis not a quantity and is not given a numerical quantity value. Ameasurement is said to be more accurate when it offers asmaller measurement error.3.1.14.2 DiscussionThe
40、term “measurement accuracy”should not be used for measurement trueness and the termmeasurement precision should not be used for measurementaccuracy, which, however, is related to both these concepts.3.1.14.3 DiscussionMeasurement accuracy is sometimesunderstood as closeness of agreement between meas
41、uredquantity values that are being attributed to the measurand.3.1.15 measurement error, nmeasured quantity value mi-nus a reference quantity value. JCGM 200:2012 (VIM) 2.163.1.15.1 DiscussionThe concept of measurement errorcan be used both: (1) when there is a single reference quantityvalue to refe
42、r to, which occurs if a calibration is made bymeans of a measurement standard with a measured quantityvalue having a negligible measurement uncertainty or if aconventional quantity value is given, in which case themeasurement error is known; and (2) if a measurand issupposed to be represented by a u
43、nique true quantity value ora set of true quantity values of negligible range, in which casethe measurement error is not known.3.1.15.2 DiscussionMeasurement error should not be con-fused with production error or mistake.3.1.16 measurement uncertainty, nnon-negative param-eter characterizing the dis
44、persion of the quantity values beingattributed to a measurand, based on the information used.JCGM 200:2012 (VIM) 2.263.1.16.1 DiscussionMeasurement uncertainty includescomponents arising from systematic effects, such as compo-nents associated with corrections and the assigned quantityvalues of measu
45、rement standards, as well as the definitionaluncertainty. Sometimes estimated systematic effects are notcorrected for but, instead, associated measurement uncertaintycomponents are incorporated.3.1.16.2 DiscussionThe parameter may be, for example, astandard deviation called standard measurement unce
46、rtainty (ora specified multiple of it), or the half-width of an interval,having a stated coverage probability.3.1.16.3 DiscussionMeasurement uncertainty comprises,in general, many components. Some of these may be evaluatedby Type A evaluation of measurement uncertainty from thestatistical distributi
47、on of the quantity values from series ofmeasurements and can be characterized by standard deviations.The other components, which may be evaluated by Type Bevaluation of measurement uncertainty, can also be character-ized by standard deviations, evaluated from probability densityfunctions based on ex
48、perience or other information.3.1.16.4 DiscussionIn general, for a given set ofinformation, it is understood that the measurement uncertaintyis associated with a stated quantity value attributed to themeasurand. A modification of this value results in a modifica-tion of the associated uncertainty.3.
