Zusammenfassung:Determining Surface Roughness A measurement system (301) for determining surface roughness is shown. A coherent illumination device (303) illuminates the surface of, for example, a component (201) with coherent light. An imaging device (304) 5 obtains an image of speckle caused by the scattering of the coherent light from the surface. A processing device (305) converts the image into a binary image according to a threshold, thereby classifying pixels below the threshold as background pixels and pixels above the threshold as foreground pixels. It then evaluates the fractal dimension of the binary image. The fractal dimension 10 correlates with surface roughness. An indication of the surface roughness of the surface is then outputted.
