Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Today, optical systems of subpixel measurements of geometric dimensions of objects, as well as 3D triangulation measurement systems, have gained wide application. This capability is achieved under the condition of obtaining sharp images of the investigated object. However, challenges arise when the object's image or a specific part of it becomes blurred or defocused, as some of its features lie outside the focal plane. The use of defocused images leads to significant measurement errors during their computer processing. The paper introduces a method based on the use of two defocused images of the research object. Through advanced computer processing, this approach enables obtaining a sharp image, extracting its contour, and acquiring its geometric parameters with subpixel precision.
