Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method includes receiving multiple biased measurements associated with a property of a sheet of material, where the biased measurements correspond to multiple known sheet geometries. The method also includes determining an unbiased measurement associated with the property of the sheet using the biased measurements, where the unbiased measurement corresponds to a nominal sheet geometry. The method further includes storing and/or outputting the unbiased measurement. Determining the unbiased measurement could include performing regression using the biased measurements and their corresponding sheet geometries to identify an estimated value of the property of the sheet at the nominal sheet geometry. The biased measurements can be generated using one or more sensors, and the sheet may not be stabilized during the biased measurement generation. Additional sheet geometries can also be created, such as by varying a tilt angle, a curvature, and/or a position of the sheet.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving multiple biased measurements associated with a surface property of a sheet of material, the biased measurements (i) taken in real-time at different times while the sheet of material moves in a manufacturing process and (ii) corresponding to different known sheet geometries of the sheet of material caused by variable movement of the sheet of material during the manufacturing process; determining, using one or more processing d…
