Vision-based precision measurement is limited by the optical resolution. Although various super-resolution algorithms have been developed, measurement precision and accuracy are difficult to guarantee. To achieve nanoscale resolution measurement, a super-resolution microstructure concept is proposed which is based on the idea of a strong mathematical mapping relationship that may exist between microstructure surface topography features and the corresponding image pixel intensities.

However, TCM during the production of cutting tools is less studied and has different properties. The scale of the defects in the tool production process is tiny, generally between 10 μm and 100 μm for diamond tools.

However, the relationship between the corresponding therapeutic effect and the chemical composition is still unclear. In this study, spectrum-effect relationship and chemical component separation were used to discover the potential of anti-hepatic fibrosis components of PA.

The critical machining parameters affecting the surface generation and surface quality in the machining of polar microstructures are studied. Hence, the critical ranges of machining parameters have been determined through a series of cutting simulations, as well as cutting experiments.

Visual or laser-based sensors can achieve the identification and localization of the object based on its appearance, but these approaches are computationally expensive and not robust against the environment with obstacles. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has a unique tag ID to identify the object, but it cannot accurately locate it.
