Overview

EN ISO 16610-60:2015 (CEN adoption of ISO 16610-60:2015) is a Geometrical Product Specification (GPS) standard that sets out the basic concepts of linear areal filters. It defines terminology, conceptual models and the foundational characteristics required for linear areal filtration used in surface texture and areal metrology. Linear areal filters separate a surface into long-wave (form/shape) and short-wave (texture) components and include filter types such as Gaussian, spline and wavelet filters.

Key Topics

  • Scope and definitions: Clear definitions for terms such as linear areal filter, planar/cylindrical filters, phase correct filters, mean surface, weighting function, filter equation, transmission characteristic, cut-off wavelength (nesting index), filter bank, and multiresolution analysis.
  • Basic filter concepts: Requirements a filter must meet to claim compliance (referenced in clauses 4.1–4.5), including linearity and behavior in a specified coordinate system (planar or cylindrical).
  • Mathematical foundations:
    • Weighting functions and their role in computing the mean surface.
    • Filter equations as mathematical descriptions (distinct from implementation algorithms).
    • Transmission characteristic (Fourier transform of the weighting function) and the definition of the cut-off wavelength (50% amplitude transmission convention).
  • Discrete representations and numerical realization:
    • Discrete representation of data and of the filter/weighting function.
    • Discrete convolution and transfer function considerations.
    • Separable filters and separable filter banks for computational efficiency and multiresolution analysis.
  • Informative annexes: Concept diagrams and relationships to GPS matrix and filtration matrix models (Annexes A–C).

Applications

  • Surface texture and areal metrology in manufacturing and quality control.
  • Specification and verification of surface finishes on planar and cylindrical parts.
  • Guidance for measurement instrument manufacturers, metrology software developers, and CAD/CAM toolchains implementing areal filtration algorithms.
  • Use in statistical and frequency-domain analysis of surfaces, multiresolution decomposition (filter banks), and defining nesting indices for specifications and tolerancing.

Who should use this standard

  • Metrologists and test laboratories performing areal surface characterization.
  • Quality engineers and product designers who specify surface texture in tolerances.
  • Developers of measurement instruments and surface-analysis software.
  • Standards committees and practitioners applying GPS (Geometrical Product Specification) principles.

Related Standards

  • ISO 16610-1 (Overview and basic concepts)
  • ISO 16610-20 / -21 (Linear profile filters; Gaussian filters)
  • ISO 14638 (GPS matrix model)
  • ISO 8015, ISO 14253-1 (GPS decision rules)
  • ISO/IEC Guide 99 (VIM - metrology vocabulary)

Keywords: ISO 16610-60, linear areal filters, GPS filtration, surface texture, weighting function, cut-off wavelength, transmission characteristic, filter bank, multiresolution analysis.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
This part of ISO 16610 is a geometrical product specification (GPS) standard and is to be regarded as a
general GPS standard (see ISO 14638). It influences chain links C and F of all chains of standards.
The ISO/GPS Matrix model given in ISO 14638 gives an overview of the ISO/GPS system of which this
part of ISO 16610 is a part. The fundamental rules of ISO/GPS given in ISO 8015 apply to this part of
ISO 16610 and the default decision rules given in ISO 14253-1 apply to specifications made in accordance
with this part of ISO 16610, unless otherwise indicated.
For more detailed information about the relation of this part of ISO 16610 to the GPS matrix model, see
Annex C.
This part of ISO 16610 develops the basic concepts of linear areal filters, which include Gaussian filter,
Spline filters, and Wavelet filters.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 16610-1, ISO 16610-20,
ISO 16610-21, ISO/IEC Guide 99, and the following apply.
3.1
linear areal filter
areal filter which separates surfaces into long wave and short wave components and is also a linear
function
Note 1 to entry: If F is a function and X and Y are surfaces then F is a linear function implies
F(aX + bY) = aF(X) + bF(Y).
Note 2 to entry: A linear areal filter is for surfaces in a specified coordinate system, for example, planar and
cylindrical.
Note 3 to entry: Linear areal filter examples include Gaussian, spline, spline wavelet, and complex wavelet.
3.1.1
linear planar filter
linear areal filter (3.1) which separates planar surfaces into long wave and short wave components,
which applies to nominal planar surfaces
Note 1 to entry: A planar surface is open in all directions.
ISO 16610-60:2015(E)
3.1.2
linear cylindrical filter
linear areal filter (3.1) which separates cylindrical surfaces into long wave and short wave components,
which applies to nominal cylindrical surface
Note 1 to entry: A cylindrical surface is open in the axial direction and closed in the circumferential direction.
3.2
phase correct areal filter
linear areal filter (3.1) which does not cause phase shifts leading to asymmetrical surface distortions
Note 1 to entry: Phase correct filters are a particular kind of linear phase filters because any linear phase filter
can be transformed (simply by shifting its weighting function) to a zero phase filter, which is a phase correct filter.
3.3
mean surface
long wave surface component determined from the surface by application of an areal filter
3.4
weighting function
function for calculating the mean surface, which indicates for each point the weight attached by the
surface in the vicinity of that point
3.5
filter equation
equation for the mathematical description of the filter
Note 1 to entry: Filter equations do not necessarily specify an algorithm for the numerical realization of the filter.
[SOURCE: ISO 16610-1:2015, 3.10]
3.6
transmission characteristic of an areal filter
characteristic that indicates the amount by which the amplitude of a sinusoidal surface is attenuated as
a function of its wavelengths
Note 1 to entry: The transmission characteristic is the Fourier transformation of the weighting function.
3.7
cut-off wavelength (nesting index)
wavelength of a sinusoidal surface of which 50 % of the amplitude is transmitted by the linear areal
filter (3.1)
Note 1 to entry: Linear areal filters are identified by the filter type and the cut-off wavelength.
Note 2 to entry: The cut-off value for the linear areal filter is an example of a nesting index.
Note 3 to entry: The cut-off 50 % value is by convention.
3.8
filter bank
set of high-pass and low-pass filters, arranged in a specified structure
[SOURCE: ISO 16610-20:2015, 3.6]
3.9
multiresolution analysis
decomposition of a surface by a filter bank (3.8) into portions o
