Uncertainty in Measurement: Reading Instruments

38.3K
Counting is the type of measurement that is free from uncertainty, provided the number of objects being counted does not change during the process. Such measurements result in exact numbers. By counting the eggs in a carton, for instance, one can determine exactly how many eggs are there in the carton. Similarly, the numbers of defined quantities are also exact. For example, 1 foot is exactly 12 inches, 1 inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 gram is exactly 0.001 kilograms. Quantities...

Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision

73.9K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

Calibration Curves: Linear Least Squares

1.4K
A calibration curve is a plot of the instrument's response against a series of known concentrations of a substance. This curve is used to set the instrument response levels, using the substance and its concentrations as standards. Alternatively, or additionally, an equation is fitted to the calibration curve plot and subsequently used to calculate the unknown concentrations of other samples reliably.
For data that follow a straight line, the standard method for fitting is the linear...

Instrument Calibration

217
Instrument calibration is essential for ensuring that instruments produce accurate and consistent results. It is vital in manufacturing, healthcare, testing laboratories, and scientific research. Calibration processes are specific to each instrument and help enhance data accuracy. Each instrument has a unique calibration process tailored to its design and function to improve data accuracy.

Propagation of Uncertainty from Systematic Error01:10

Propagation of Uncertainty from Systematic Error

551
The atomic mass of an element varies due to the relative ratio of its isotopes. A sample's relative proportion of oxygen isotopes influences its average atomic mass. For instance, if we were to measure the atomic mass of oxygen from a sample, the mass would be a weighted average of the isotopic masses of oxygen in that sample. Since a single sample is not likely to perfectly reflect the true atomic mass of oxygen for all the molecules of oxygen on Earth, the mass we obtain from this...

Uncertainty: Confidence Intervals

4.1K
The confidence interval is the range of values around the mean that contains the true mean. It is expressed as a probability percentage. The interpretation of a 95% confidence interval, for instance, is that the statistician is 95% confident that the true mean falls within the interval. The upper and lower limits of this range are known as confidence limits. The confidence limits for the true mean are estimated from the sample's mean, the standard deviation, and the statistical factor...

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning
  • Metrology

Background:

  • Camera calibration is crucial for machine vision, with Zhang's method widely used for intrinsic parameters and lens distortion.
  • Current methods for estimating parameter uncertainty may lack reliability, potentially introducing biases in post-processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel Bayesian inference-based approach for camera calibration.
  • To assess the certainty and reliability of intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters compared to Zhang's method.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Bayesian inversion to recalibrate intrinsic camera parameters, assuming Zhang's estimates as the prior probability.
  • Developed a new procedure for optimizing extrinsic parameters within the Bayesian framework.

Main Results:

  • Bayesian recalibration yielded different uncertainties for intrinsic parameters compared to Zhang's method.
  • The primary source of inaccuracy was identified in the extrinsic parameter calculation procedure.
  • The novel Bayesian approach significantly improved the reliability of image point predictions by optimizing extrinsic parameters.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed Bayesian inference method enhances the reliability of camera calibration, particularly in extrinsic parameter estimation.
  • This approach offers improved accuracy for machine vision applications requiring precise camera parameter estimation.
