Abstract

With the development of intelligent technology, it is of great significance to develop intelligent equipment with topography self-sensing function. The micro morphology perception technology applied to intelligent equipment is the key technology for development. In this paper, at first, topography perception theory based on the PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) technology is researched, then an experimental study is conducted to sense the characteristic points of the geometric curve of the preset topography surface used in the PVDF film, and then the Ferguson curve model is used to reconstruct the topography characteristic curve. The experimental results show that the reconstruction curve can truly reflect the features of the characteristic curve of the surface of the preset topography, and the feasibility of topography surface sensing technology by PVDF sensing technology is verified. The research provides technical support for the development of intelligent equipment with topography self-sensing function.
