Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and content customization apparatuses that provide instructions to an optical scanner device, configured to be capable of producing a localization element on the surface of the test object, to scan the localization element to a plurality of points across the surface of the test object in a two-dimensional scan pattern. Image data of an image of the localization element at each of the plurality of points along the surface of the test object is obtained. The obtained image data is processed to determine a surface profile for the test object. The two-dimensional scan pattern reduces surface texture errors in the surface profile.
G01B 11/25 - Measuring arrangements characterised by the use of optical techniques for measuring contours or curvatures by projecting a pattern, e.g. moiré fringes, on the object
An optical profiler includes a light source configured to provide a light spot on a surface of an object of interest. A light receiver including a lens and a photosensor is configured to receive and image light from the surface of the object. A profile measurement computing device is coupled to the photosensor and includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor which is configured to be capable of executing programmed instructions comprising and stored in the memory to calculate a plurality of location values for the light spot on the surface of the object based on the imaged light from the surface of the object, wherein each of the location values are associated with an angular rotation value based on a rotation of the object about a rotational axis. A profile of the object is generated based on the calculated location values.

CAMSHAFT SIDEWALL MEASURING DEVICES AND METHODS THEREOF
A measuring device includes a rotatable stage configured to receive and rotate an object long a rotational axis of the object. A housing is located adjacent to the rotatable stage and is movable along the rotational axis of the object. The housing has a pivoting arm located between a pair of opposing compression springs which are configured to provide a preload force in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the object. A probe tip is coupled to the pivoting arm and extends from the housing, the probe tip configured to contact a portion of the object. A displacement measuring device is coupled to the pivoting arm and is configured to measure displacement of the probe tip in the direction parallel to the rotational axis of the object based on movement of the pivoting arm against one of the opposing compression springs.

OPTICAL THREE DIMENSIONAL SCANNERS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
An optical scanner includes a light source located within a housing. A reticle having an aperture is positioned within the housing to receive a first light beam emitted from the light source. The reticle is configured to trasmit a second light beam through the aperture. A mirror is positioned within the housing to receive the second light beam transmitted from the reticle and reflect the second light beam through a first window in the housing onto a surface of interest of an object. A light receiver is configured to receive a third light beam from the surface of interest of the object through a second window in the housing, wherein the light receiver is configured to obtain one or more light position values to determine a parameter of the surface of interest of the object. Methods for generating three-dimensional images of an object utilizing the optical scanner are also disclosed.
