Sum of sinusoidal plus noise model to extract component error from a double ballbar measurement error map

The double ballbar (DBB) test, which captures actual data from multiple error origins of axes interaction, was defined as sinusoid error map model plus noise. When the number of sinusoids is the same as the number of individual errors of moving axis in the test map, we can extract a single source geometric error value from the DBB error map by modeling the well-known geometric error of linear axis. We considered the "noise" as mixed errors from other sources than geometric errors. This method is applicable to both a full circle and a truncated DBB test path.
