About

Clive S. Fraser is a pioneering figure in the field of photogrammetry and vision metrology, whose work has fundamentally shaped modern industrial measurement. His research centers on the development and application of precise three-dimensional optical measurement techniques for large-scale manufacturing and engineering. Fraser’s major contributions include advancing analytical photogrammetry as a routine tool for tasks ranging from machine tool inspection to fixture checking, effectively transitioning industry from gauge-based to gaugeless tooling. His seminal 1986 paper, "Industrial Photogrammetry: New Developments and Recent Applications," which has garnered 66 citations, laid the groundwork for the widespread adoption of these methods. In his 1995 work on "Dimensional Inspection in Manufacturing via Vision Metrology," he further demonstrated the critical role of optical 3D measurement in aerospace and other high-precision sectors. With a career spanning decades, Fraser’s impact is evident in the routine use of his techniques for dimensional inspection, helping to set new standards for accuracy and efficiency in industrial metrology.
