Abstract

In this study, we propose the improved relative-entropy of the ideal circle function to the measured information of the radius error of the workpiece surface to make an eccentricity filtering in roundness measurement. Along with a correct assessment for the parameters of the eccentricity filtering, the extracted information from the measured information is obtained by the minimization of the improved relative-entropy. The case studies show that the information optimization is characterized by decreasing the improved relative-entropy, the extracted information almost coincides with the real information, the improved relative-entropy has a strong immunity to the stochastic disturbance of the rough work piece-surface and the increase of the minimum of the improved relative-entropy counteracts the effect of the stochastic disturbance on the assessment for parameters in eccentricity filtering.
