The Coordinate Measuring Machines capable of automated measurement are being widely used in on-line and off-line inspection. The measurement data obtained from these inspection devices have to be further processed and analyzed, to assess the geometric form of the manufactured components. In the present work, algorithms based on Computational Geometric techniques have been developed for minimum zone and function-oriented evaluation of straightness and flatness. The algorithms are validated using the simulated data and the data available in the literature.
