MAIN SURFACE FEATURES
Abstract
Surface characterization means splitting the surface geometry into basic components based usually on some functional requirement. These components can have different shapes, scales of size, distribution in space and can be constrained by multiple boundaries in height and position. The measurement can influence the importance of a parameter or feature. This paper presents the main features that need to be considered when a surface is analyzed, especially the roughness and the waviness.
