Abstract

In accordance with 3D geometric dimension measurement of a micro-machines, an image measurement method was proposed based on CCD photoelectric technique. Taking a silicon micro-cantilever as a measured object, its surface depth variation was measured based on gray gradient of image and its planar dimensions were determined based on geometric imaging principle. The experimental measurement system consisted of five modules, light image,, signal processing, digital image processing, display, and mechanical support and adjustment mechanism. Measured results show that the measurement range of the system is from millimeters to micrometers and the precision is up to 1%.
