Hello all, I have a problem trying to compare the (2D) results of a coordinate measuring machine inspection (CMM) of a grid of data points to the actual design values of the points. Minute errors in positioning of the workpiece result in deviations in the datasets. Has anyone come across a mathematica notebook (or other algorithm) which would provide the (x,y,theta) values which minimize the positioning errors Sqrt[(Xdes-Xact)^2+(Ydes-Yact)^2]? Any input would be appreciated
