Systems and methods for providing a combined visualizable representation for evaluating a target object

A system of providing a combined visualizable representation for evaluating a target object, the system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium, the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to:
• generate a mesh corresponding to one or more measurements for the target object, wherein the mesh comprises a plurality of nodes,
• overlay the mesh on a nominal object created from reference data, wherein the reference data is representative of one or more expected dimensions of the target object,
• evaluate each node of the plurality of nodes for a plurality of criteria to obtain a plurality of criteria values, wherein each criterion of the plurality of criteria is an expression of an amount of error between each node and a corresponding point on the nominal object,
• assign a weighted value to each of the plurality of criteria values to obtain a plurality of weighted criteria values,
• generate a visualizable representation of each weighted criteria value of the plurality of weighted criteria values to obtain a plurality of visualizable representations, and
• combine each one of the plurality of visualizable representations into a combined visualizable representation, wherein the combined visualizable representation indicates each one of the plurality of weighted criteria values.

A system of providing a combined color map for evaluating a target object, the system comprising:

• a measuring device;
• a processing device communicatively coupled to the measuring device;
• and
• a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium, the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to:
• direct the measuring device to obtain one or more measurements for the target object,
• generate a mesh corresponding to the one or more measurements for the target object, wherein the mesh comprises a plurality of nodes,
• receive reference data representative of one or more expected dimensions of the target object,
• generate a nominal object from the reference data,
• overlay the mesh on the nominal object,
• evaluate each node of the plurality of nodes for a plurality of criteria to obtain a plurality of criteria values, wherein each criterion of the plurality of criteria is an expression of an amount of error between each node and a corresponding point on the nominal object,
• assign a weighted value to each of the plurality of criteria values to obtain a plurality of weighted criteria values,
• generate a color map of each weighted criteria value of the plurality of weighted criteria values to obtain a plurality of color maps, and
• combine each one of the plurality of color maps into the combined color map, wherein the combined color map indicates each one of the plurality of weighted criteria values.
