Artificial Intelligence Deep Learning metrology Surface Texture

Abstract

The paper provides a progress report on the project "Application of Artificial Intelligence in Surface Irregularities Measurements," funded by the Polish Ministry of Education and Science. The study utilises surface topography measurements from tactile and non-tactile systems to develop AI algorithms for metrology scenarios and predicting surface texture parameters. The deep learning approach achieved 93% accuracy in classifying measurement systems and a regression model with training and validation losses of approximately 9% and 2%. These advancements enhance accuracy, efficiency, and automation in surface characterisation, with potential applications in materials science, manufacturing, and quality control. The findings support AI-driven models as future decision-making tools in measurement preparation.
