Abstract

Fitting a sphere to a data set obtained by a coordinate measuring machine is a common practice in engineering, manufacturing industry and physical sciences. In practice, the locations on a spherical surface where measurement is performed could significantly affect the accuracy of the estimators of the center and the radius of the sphere. In this article, a model, that is different from the Berman model, is employed. Many orthogonal designs on a complete spherical feature, a spherical cap/belt are obtained.
