controlDim

đź”— Visit the controlDim web documentation

The controlDim package provides a set of tools for dimensional control and geometric analysis of steel panels.

It is designed to be used together with packages such as rgl, misc3d, and Rvcg, offering complementary functions that support the processing and analysis of 3D data.

These tools assist in different stages of the dimensional inspection workflow, such as:

  • Comparing the estimated mesh with the CAD reference to evaluate dimensional deviations.
  • Calculating linear and developed dimensions to verify the panel’s conformity with expected measurements.
  • Separating components of the estimated mesh for individual evaluation.
  • Computing angles to analyze the alignment between different components of the panel.

Installation

You can install the development version of controlDim from GitHub with:

#install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("GroupMODES/controlDim")
